it seems in my opinion as I watch my daughter struggle w/ the same thing... there are very few men... real men out there....sorry men who read this that are the real deal... but you know what I mean

whooo hooo look at you go! what a great change not as subtle as you think!!!!

awesome post!!!!!!

what an awesome way to think of this journey! thank you for sharing!!!!

I found that to be so true when I was down to 132 before the lap band failed... some women were giving back handed compliments ...men were just different...not rude or bad...maybe I just noticed more not sure...but I for reals had a boss who never spoke to me till I was thin.... But congratulations on your success! it's…

so proud of you and honored to call you friend! xoxoxoxoxoxxo

way way way proud of you!

truth spoken and well said!!!!

I can so relate... but there will come a day...trust me on this when you look back at them as badges of honor... to see how far you have come.... we only know where we are going sometimes from where we have been.... 14lbs is excellent!

my heart aches for you!....I never ever thought I would be small either...and I do not think anyone else did either...but had the lap band not failed me I would still be a size 2 ....I started at a size 24....we are all here for you and know you can do this!

so sorry to see you so down on yourself...I know we all have those days though...but you have made great strides...the lasy few pounds always suck!...keep you chin up you are beautiful! and tomorrow is a new day!...:)

that is the best feeling ever and I am sharing it w/ you today! I hit 20 tooo! so High 5!!!!!

I am the same way... try for 8-12 during the day but it seems the more I drink the more I want to drink.... so often at night I down a bottle as well

I am so proud of you for taking the 1st step in asking for some love and support and so proud of the progress you have made....sometimes we just take a few steps back and that is just a part of life... you already know what a joy your son is and you know he needs a healthy momma....I was a teen mom too waaaayyyy before the…

SERIOUSLY!!! I was just thinking of posting this when I saw your post!!!

imho, it's your work out your $$$ you pay....

that is so awesome! I cannot wait to see yuor I am under 300 post... that will be fantabulous!... what a great job you are doing!

Same here... my daughter is almost 28 now and although she still has a murmur it has not been considered serious....but I am of the adage of always checking it out...my prayers are w/ you and your family!

any success is a success...way to go!

I hear you...I did the lap band and lost 136 lbs had problems band removed gained 68 of it back... now am down 15 from that but still have a hard time seeing myself does not matter where I am at.... would love some additional thoughts too... and btw CONGRATULATIONS what an amazing accomplishment!

just continue to track everything...(I text myself since I do not have a smart phone) hydrate hydrate hydrate and I am sure you will be walking more than normal... enjoy and have fun try not to over do and if you do the next day is a new day... it is about balance, not good and bad.... food is only a tool to fuel your…

Muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less space so your appearance will change and clothes will fit better but 1 lb of fat is the same weight as 1 lb of muscle.... make sure you are taking in your water and staying hydrated...it is the biggest challenge I have... best wishes for a successful journey! you can do it!

welcome back! you have taken the correct steps to stop this in its tracks! Here is hoping all the treatments work and you and your hero hubby are able to conceive a beautiful baby!

awww honey don't be discouraged if your pants are falling you are losing inches and toning up...muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less space and helps you burn fat better... you are doing the right things keep on keeping on...

you look fabulous! congratulations!

completed

that explains alot..... had not thought about it like that... I will try to go diet soda-less this next week and note them improvements... thanks for the post!!!

been there done that... I actually text myself what I have eaten and list it pretty much the same way you have... sounds like you did a great job...#'s may not be exact but 1/2 this battle is accountability too!...Have a great day!

welcome back! You can do it!!!!
