Several years ago I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day. He told me that he wanted me to lose 50 pounds. Now he wasn't mean about it or ugly in any way, he just wanted me to be healthy. I've dieted off and on since then but never lost as much as 50 pounds at one time or even anywhere close to Father's Day. This year for Father's Day I was able to tell him that I've lost just over 80 pounds since the end of February. He cried when I told him, then he laughed! He told me that my overall health was the most important thing to him first off, but #2 just how much plastic surgery was I going to need to keep me from flapping in the wind?!? LOL! That, Daddy, is yet to be determined!

I love it! Congratulations for your weight loss. So happy to know that you have the love and support of your daddy! Keep up the great work!!!!

Too awesome! I'm so happy for you. Your dad sounds like a kick! It's funny, I was thinking of my dad yesterday, wishing he could see my journey (I lost him a few years ago). But then I realized he is seeing my journey and is with me all the way in spirit! Keep up the great work and keep us posted!

That is so sweet and congratulations! It reminds me of my dad. He is my biggest cheerleader!
