@@LynRN My mom came over one day & said "I think you need to go see Vicky about a Secret, cause whatever you are wearing under there isn't working anymore"

Best ever!

When your husband picks you up and carries to the bed and throws you onto it, just because he can ;)

Also, I'm really close to this one because so I am getting excited for it: when you FINALLY weigh less than your husband, because he has never struggled with his weight. 10lbs to go !!!

Realizing that you don't have 100(+) pounds to lose anymore! Talk about a huge weight lifted!

Also going to the store, (not a plus size store) and them not having any of your size, not because you are too big, but because you are officially "Average" so they sell out of those sizes quickly :)

My Husband & I were on a power walk/jog... it had just poured... 1/2 way through the path was flooded out about 15 feet long... he picked me up and carried me through the Water (i had brand new sneaks on & HE didnt want them to get ruined!!)

First time he has been able to carry me! i cried tears of joy... he laughed... HAHA

When you go swimming with your old bathing suit and the bottoms fall off when you get out...or when you look in the mirror and notice how skinny you are getting like my shoulders, back, stomach, legs, and boobs.

I would love to walk up to my front door (8 steps) without stopping or being out of breath. I would love to play softball and go bowling again. But mainly I would love to be healthy again. This is only temperary. I will walk up my front steps and I will play sports again. Its just the beginning.

When I got dressed for work and had to stop, take off my pants, and hem them quick by hand because they're too long since I have less fat holding them up! Had to cut 1.5 inches off my workout pants too!

After 12yrs I'm finally lighter than my hubby but he struggles with his weight, and I can encourage him that he can make a change

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
