    Now that the cat's out of the bag......

    I can tell you guys that I officially weigh less than my hubby for the first time in YEARS!!!!!!!!!! Sorry..lol..had to fess up to him first. He's upset about his weight (a whole size 38 at over 6 ft tall) so I had to break it to him gently. He's thrilled!!

    Okay...back to your regularly scheduled programming.

        LOL! Excellent news.

        I'm currently looking forward to the next 10 pound range/next mini-goal. I also have a chart made out where I have a pretty good idea of what I weighed at different points in my adult life - almost every year (my weight gain was slow and steady for years, then leveled off for several more years before I started losing eating whole foods). Ten more pounds and I am back to 1990, and five pounds after that, I am back to the '80s.

        A buddy of mine asked me a few months ago how much weight I had lost at that time, and I told her I was down to 1992... ;-)

                Wow...it never even ocurred to me that weighing less than my husband was possible...(I've been WAY bigger than him since we met). This may become a new mini-goal

                Congrats Niko!

                    Hmm, checked with hubby...he's down to 133 (DARNED ATKINS - IT WORKED TOO WELL!!!). I don't know if I'll ever get that low. I might, but...I'd be REALLY happy at 140

                      Well done and congratulations!!!!!

                      I know EXACTLY how great that feels...all our time together (I met my husband when I was 18 yrs old) he's always been smaller than me.....not anymore!!!!! I try to tackle him now and there's no way...I end up losing the battle very quickly! Time for me to bring out the big guns and sign up for a martial arts course

                      It is an amazing feeling, congratulations for achieving all that you have....you're doing terrific!
