I was at a birthday party this weekend for my nephew. It was at one of those inflatable house places. I've been there tons of times with the kids.

This time I'm 5 months out and 73 lbs gone.

There's a huge slide my 5 year olds love to do. They were climbing up the inflatable stairs to get to the top and I decided to surprise them by following. They turned around and the look of pure joy and ear to ear grins on their faces was priceless. One of them said "oh wow my moms coming up with us!!" I'm not an emotional person at all, but it really hit me that this tool has given my kids a mother that can really interact with them more than before.

So glad I did this. 30 lbs to get to my personal goal, but already such a huge difference in the quality of my life!

Thanks for letting me get that out. Not a lot of people outside this group would understand!

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to being able to do the same things with my kids!
