OMG I Lost My Husband This Morning!!

Ok that was a teaser title. Thank goodness I did NOT loose my husband but as of this morning I have lost the total amount of weight that my husband actually weighs, 129lbs!
Does anyone know how freaky that is? I was sitting next to him on the couch and it dawned on me that if I put the 129lbs back on *NOT* that it would be like carrying around my husband all day! That blew my mind.
When I started I did things like compare my weightloss to my dogs weight and then add on a cat as I went along (we have 4) then it was my younger sons weight and now I have lost my husbands actual weight....that REALLY puts the weightloss into a good perspective for me. I can see right there what I was carrying around and wondered how I ever did it....
My naturally tall and slender husband got a kick out of this when I mentioned it today and thought all of you might get a chuckle out it:0)
Even if I yoyo as I usually do after a big drop I know I weight 371 and the up and down is water.
Just had to share my goooood news.

Wow! That's an average of over 5 pounds a month for almost two full years! I don't know if your loss has been even -- but either way, that's inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

You have a great sense of humor! You are an inspiration to me with your loss! I weighed myself yesterday and saw that I had gained all ten lbs back

and I was crushed.

Then I realized my cat was sitting on my feet. I'm so used to him winding around my feet that I didn't notice him there! I booted him off and my 10 lb loss was back!
