Never in my life did I think I would share this!

I was just looking at a picture of my daughter (14) and I from our day out Sunday and just realized we kinda look like we could be related, which is odd because everyone always said she looked adopted. Probably because she is thin. Now that I've lost the weight she looks like my daughter apparently. Ha! Just a realization. This is just too much fun! I feel like I have a whole new life.

I'm so happy for you. I remember when I was trying to lose weight some stupid diet book said to put tape over the scale and the write the number you want to be on it. Ha! The power of visualization. How ridiculous.

No need for you to do that anymore is there? :)

The number on my scale still trips me out as well. It's hard to believe. I'm so happy for you and your success.

Congrats to all of you. I had my surgery May 12th 2015. Starting weight was 271. Day of surgery 265. I weigh myself this morning. I'm 195. 70lbs in 4 months I'm so so happy about that. My doctor said I'm doing very well. I should be at goal by the end of the year. My goal is 150. 45lbs to go. It's very hard but well worth it I'm so glad I had this surgery.

@@mallen1895 Congrats on your success so far that's wonderful!

@@bellabloom Ha! I've never heard of doing that. I try to stay off the scale as much as I can so I won't be decorating it. :)

@@proudgrammy You're so silly!! I hope everyone sees less of me! I'm sure to some people 166.4 is still big but not to me! It may as well say 120 :) I'm also 5'8. I should change my goal but I don't know if it's even necessary I'm just going to let this body take me where it wants to go. No pressure in that!

First, congratulations!!!! I know what you mean about people may think a certain weight is still "big", but so many factors go into it. Your attitude about it all is inspiring to me. I love your posts. Keep on keeping on, girl!!

Sorry it took so long to respond I was spending the day with my middle daughter trying on school dance dresses....yes, both of us (me for fun) I never got to go to prom, I was pregnant with her sister at that time so today I got to "semi" live a part of that. We had so much fun and I'm positive I would have looked better toady in a dress than I ever would have back then. She's one of my major inspirations. She says things that brighten my world without even knowing it like in this picture today she said "Mom Look how easily my arms fit around your tiny waist". Priceless!

This right here was such a cool moment. Thanks for sharing. Love the compliment your daughter gave you. Totally priceless. ????

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
