Why thank you, you're so sweet!

It was a relief, cause lots of times he says, "I can't believe how much you look like your mother!"

And that's when the fight starts....:)

Not really -- just kidding! I do look like her and I fought it hard for years, but I've surrendered! LOL

No matter how much we love our mothers, its hard to look in the mirror and see her looking back. Its concrete evidence that we're aging. Bless your DH for acknowledging your success. Mine has started to stand up and take notice too. Just another little reward along the way.

By the early 90s I'd managed to rid the house of every mirror except for the little medicine cabinet mirror in the bathroom. I went through a lot of wacky hairstyles and colors trying to fight the inevitable -- but Ruby's genes prevailed and by 2000 I surrendered to the reality that I AM just like her. BUT, there's nothing to stop me from being a New & Improved version!! :w00t:

He said the cutest thing to me a few months ago. He's joked for years that he'd pay $10K for a photo of me in the bikini I wore on our honeymoon! This time he said, "I was married to a porn star, but I didn't own a video camera!" :ohmy::thumbup: So he celebrates every milestone in my lap-band journey and is willing to cash in some of his retirement savings to pay for PS when the time comes. We've got a lot of years to make up for! :wink:

Oh, yeah -- and we OWN a video camera now! :thumbup:

You go Pam!! Sounds like you have a wonderful man. I have to say though, if my Mom's name was RUBY she must be pretty special!! That is such a fabulous name!!:cool2::biggrin:

Isn't it tho'....? My daughter was comtemplating using it if she has another girl. Her new hubby vetoed it because his brother's BEAGLE is named "Ruby". :lol: As if that dog will live forever and be at all the family reunions!!!

LOL

I am SO blessed -- I thank the Lord for him about a dozen times a day. He's not PERFECT and we do get on each others never from time to time, but then I stop and think that Mike on his WORST day is better than a lot of guys are on their BEST day and all I can do is say "Thank You, God" -- again!!:smile2:

I know I am usually pretty quiet in here but where did everyone else go? Its like a ghost town.

I posted these on the main before and after thread so I thought I would post them here too. Took a new close up a few days ago and was blown away when I compared it to an old closeup. My boyfriends jaw dropped when he saw them side by side.

Ask your Dr how much exercise you can do. I started out with just 30 minutes of walking a day with my ever faithful maltipoos! Then started doing a Richard Simmons DVD, then I´ve added another of his DVDs.

I´ve learned I really like working out with weights. This week I got a Zumba DVD, but not ready for all the jumping around you have to do.

Recently I´ve started using an exercise ball to do crunches, when I first started could hardly do any, but now I can do 100!

I still have a long way to go, but it helps me to see where I came from.

Well done!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
