Awe berry that's fantastic...your MIL is leaving! Oh wait you meant the weighing was the NSV? That's awesome too. Ahhhhh, alone time without MIL. I hope she has a nice trip. Geeze and how does she carry a bag that heavy?
Great job, keep going. You're inspiring.

You are too funny! yes, TWO MORE DAYS and then she's gone for 5 weeks Woohoo!!!!

In that time I'm tearing the house apart, decluttering and finally hanging pictures and curtains (we have blinds up only).

And she doesn't lift her suitcase. She has me go to the airport and help at the counter and then she has someone help here everywhere else.

Well, actually, I dropped another 1.2 today and now I've lost 67 pounds... same as he weighs - exactly. So... today, after I shower and after I give the boy a haircut (my chore for the day). I'll be taking a photo with him... or I might do it tomorrow. So, yes, I've now lost the same amount of weight as my son weighs.

That's great! And what a cool way to measure progress. It made me think--my oldest son (5yrs) weighs 39 lbs, and I'm exactly at that point right now! (After gaining with my pregnancy with my youngest son. I was at 60 lbs down before him).

My daughter weighs 41 lbs (they're twins) so hopefully next week I'll have lost as much as she weighs

It'll be a great day when I've lost as much as all three of my kids weigh combined. The baby weighs 14 lbs, by the time I near my goal, he'll weigh about as much as I'd need to lose combined with the twins to actually be at goal.

Seriously cool "way to weigh" berryblondeboys!

It is a cool "way to weigh". Now, I have an older son too, but he's turning 15 soon and is 6'1" and weighs 135 pounds. I don't have that much loss in me... Huh... just realized my six year old weighs exactly half that of his older brother.
