My brother-in-law came in late last night to spend the night, I was asleep so he didn't see me. I was really hoping to keep my weight loss from him and his wife and surprise them this spring when we rode the Harleys down to their house. I purposely put on baggy pants and a big bulky sweater to hide some of the weight loss. I walked out in the dining room and right off the bat he said "Boy Betty, you have lost weight". I said yeah, a little bit. He said "no, a lot".

I loved getting the compliment, but sure was hoping to hide it for a while from them. I guess I will have to try and lose a lot more before I go~

Betty, -42 pounds! That's a whole anorexic person! Seriously, that's a big chunk and I'm glad he noticed. He'll be even more impressed by springtime and you're down another chunk. Congratulations!

Now put on some tight jeans and strut your stuff.

I agree with Vera. Get into some tight jeans NOW! You have lost a LOT of weight and you can't hide it anymore! Silly girl!

As the loss slows and we feel like we struggle for every pound, it can start to feel like we have so much more to lose. Others can still see the difference, though. Take the compliments as a reinforcement that you really are changing. You are sure to change a lot more by spring.

Well, he was still surprised, he was just surprised early. Doesn't it feel good?

Thanks Y'all! It was nice!

shake it girl! I bet you look like a million bucks! I think I would have kissed my Brother-in-law right on the top of the head for being such a sweetie! Really... you should be so darn proud of yourself and let your little light shine!

Betty , did you tell him that you were banded??? If so, what did he say??

What a great nsv!!! Congrats!

Thanks Y'all!

Paula - No, I didn't tell him. I am a closet banster except for my Brother and his family. I like it that way for now.

I knew you were wise.
