I just had to share: It occurred to me the other day that I actually weight less now than when I met my husband, about 16 years ago. I am still so excited about that. This also means that my daughters have never seen me this thin either. And yes, they keep telling me that. They are very good cheerleaders for Mom's weight loss journey. They are very encouraging to me and always anxious try new recipes with me. It's great to see them so excited as they notice me getting thinner.

Thanks for letting me share!

That is awesome, hamltmom!!! It feels so good doesn't it!

For me I am quickly approaching a weight that my husband has never seen me at before, and what's even better is that I am 10 pounds away from, for the first time in my life, ever being lighter than the man I am with. Awesome!

That's awesome! (Both of you)! I just absolutely love my lap band. I'm so glad that you have cheerleaders-- we all need them!!

Yes- everyone needs a cheerleader or 2. My friends and family are always so encouraging. I can't imagine doing this without them. Keep up the great work, you are doing awsome!
