I am officially down 40 pounds this morning! I have been waiting for this for a while. I weighed 250 back when my husband was interning for Chiropractic school. He had to use me to get some x-ray credits, and along with the x-ray came a full physical. I was so embarrassed that he was going to find out what I weighed.
When the moment came for me to step on the scale, my husband's "assistant" (another student) and his professor all gathered around. Why? I guess they were all dying to see how big I was. When the number popped up, my husband looked at me and asked, "How is that possible?". I must have turned every shade of red. I thought I would die from embarrassment.
I didn't die. Instead, I managed to pack on another 40 pounds over the course of our marriage. Those 40 pounds are gone now, and I couldn't be more relieved. Oh wait, yes I could. I could be at goal weight. But, that's for another day. But the day WILL come! I am so excited.
Thanks so much for ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT during my journey. This journey would be so much rockier without all of you.

I came across your blog and enjoy reading your thoughts. I myself am struggling with weight loss and am thinking of the lapband. However,I am so very excited for you. This is may seem like a small victory but think of how big it really is. You should be so proud of yourself.

40! 40! 40! Such a good number. You are 32% of the way to your goal. A hair under a third of the way there. You are a rock star!
Congrats to your success. Ihave lost over 202 pounds since sept 2008.
Congratulations!!!
I had a similar experience but not with my husband. I had to go into my bosses office and he had to fill out an application on me for life insurance. I couldn't just fill it out and hand it back to him and hope that he didn't read the weight. I remember when I had to tell him how much I weighed I was mortified. It was horrifying. I turned all red and started sweating. I was soo embarrassed! He could tell that I was embarrassed and he tried his hardest to be nonchalant, it was awful!
You are doing so great!
Congratulations. I admit to feeling envy when I read your weight loss. Then I was angry with myself. Please don't be concerned for me, I'm really OK and so very pleased for you. Thank-you for posting and being excited. It has helped to wake me up and make me realise that time is sliding by while I fiddle around.
That's wonderful!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story and success with us!
