Default Funny how I would say I wasnt unhappy with my weight

but now that I have lost almost 20 lbs I cant believe the difference in my attitude and my looks! On weekends I would throw a baseball hat on my head saying with three kids it was too hard to worry about getting myself ready -- sweats & bball hats & zero makeup! Now that I have lost a good chunk of my weight I dont go out till Im dressed & have makeup on---its amazing what you can get done if you feel good about yourself! I always said I was happy with my life (& I was) but I didnt realize how much happier I could be once I lost weight! My dh & I have a great relationship but now (wow!) its ever better! I can even wear his boxers without stretching them out! He noticed that! My 4 yr old daughter has said more than I can count in the last 2 wks "mommy, your so pretty"! Talk about melting my heart! My 12 yr old son saw my in my jeans that havent fit in a couple yrs & said "wow mom" "you look awesome". Hearing this from my kids & husband means more to me than hearing the people I work with mention my weight loss. Of course, its great to hear it from anyone but its so much more special coming from your own family!

I think thats where my incentive is coming from!

HELP! I need to change my weights under my name to 181---dont remember how!

streaky, go up to the top of the page and hit profile then it will bring up another bar with user control panel and then profile again. it will have it under there, that is how I do it, if that is wrong, someone let me know!!!
Doesnt it feel great when your kids tell you that! I had heard it from a couple of people, but when my kids told me the first time I thought, it must be noticable cuz kids just tell the truth....
great job on the loss, keep up the good work!

Congratulations... To change your weight, go to the top under profile and you can change it.

I absolutely know what you meant. I wasn't physically unable to do things and I wasn't unhappy with myself, but now that I have begun to loose weight, I feel so comfortable with myself. I know I have a way to go, but knowing that I am doing something, I feel like I am crawing out of this cacoon that I have been hiding in and I absolutely love the new me.

Way to go!!!!
