    "Mom! I don't even have to take the pix - I know you're losing pounds. Do you know how I know?!?!?! Because when we first started taking those pix, and I would come and jump on you after work and wrap my arms and legs around you, I couldn't reach my arms all the way around, but yesterday when you came home and I came to jump on and hang on you like a leech, I was able to put my arms all the way around AND I was able to lock my hands together like this!" At which point she proceeded to demonstrate how she locks her hands around me:)

    Who needs a scale OR a tape measure? My baby girl is measuring me with her hugs and "locking" her hands around me:)

    My 9 year old son does this! He is so happy that I'm getting healthy, and likes to see how much farther he get his arms around me. He can grab his forearms now! I have explained that his arms are also getting longer, but that he's right, I have made A LOT of progress. Makes me so glad to see the look on his face!

    :happy: That is sooooo adorably cute! I have a 3 year old girl and she gets excited when i workout, she says "mommy, you going to do your dance? I want to watch" I do Jillian Michaels, so its FAR from dancing, but i LOVE it so i smile through it and she will cheer me on and tell me to get lower or jump like the girls on the TV. .. Gotta LOVE the children. Just when you think they are going to say something embaressing, they say something sweet, almost makes you want to cry. GREAT JOB so far :bigsmile:

    This morning I was snuggling with my 8 year old and I asked her "can you take some more pix of me today?" (I've been having her take pix of me every few weeks as a way to gauge my progress since my scale won't move)

    She replied tentatively and touched my belly softly, like she was afraid of hurting my feelings, "you're trying to.....lose pounds, right?"

    I chuckled and replied, "yes," fully prepared (I thought) for whatever her 8 year old self was going to tell me about my efforts.

    She immediately gave me a huge grin, lit up like a Christmas tree, jumped up on the bed and said excitedly, "Mom! I don't even have to take the pix - I know you're losing pounds. Do you know how I know?!?!?! Because when we first started taking those pix, and I would come and jump on you after work and wrap my arms and legs around you, I couldn't reach my arms all the way around, but yesterday when you came home and I came to jump on and hang on you like a leech, I was able to put my arms all the way around AND I was able to lock my hands together like this!" At which point she proceeded to demonstrate how she locks her hands around me:)

    Wow! Anyone got an 8 year old to lend me?
