I always thought I would have to lose weight to find someone...when I met my DH I was self-conscious about my weight and afraid he'd get tired of it or want to find someone more attractive (in my mind, thinner) than me. However, he has always loved me the way I am and he was into me at my highest weight and he also has been super supportive of IP and is loving me now too...I just had to find someone who wanted me for me no matter what that was and that gives me the support and confidence to do IP and become who I want to me.

Shame I wasted so much time on fad diets to try to get the attention of a bunch of losers!

Sounds like you have a good man. When I met my DH I was skinny. we got married 24 years ago and he has seen my weight go up and down throughout the years. never once has he showed me anything negative about my weight even though I felt I was fat & ugly. Now he tells me often that I look great and I look happier and he is very proud of me. He is my biggest cheeleader. I am sure he likes me better thinner but he loved me no matter what. I love that man!!!!

Good morning everyone,

Raining and cold here, miserable! Another lower WI this morning -1.6 but i hope that my late trend will continue and will have a good WI next week!

Hope you all have a great week-end!

Edit: LOL had to remove my 10lbs flowers as i couldn't add my new WI to my signature

I feel lucky that I have a great hubby! He has said things that have made me cry but he has been so supportive over the 22 years we have been married! I weighed 120 pounds when we got married and he has stayed in perfect physical condition. Occasionally I have worried that he will give up on me and find a skinnier wife but it has never happened and the fears were really in my head not his.

Sometimes I think that I gained the weight to make sure I didn't stray from being a wife and mother. The skinny me could be a little flaky and liked to party but the fatter me could more easily stay home, raise the kids and be a good wife. Okay I am ramblin now, who knows what makes us fat?

It is a beautiful day in Idaho, time to go outside and get some work done!

Stay healthy and 100% OP!

I met my husband when I was 21 and 125 pounds, so watching me gain all of that weight over the years was hard for him, especially since he has always been lean. I never expected him to be okay with my weight gain because that's not who he married and he was worried about my health, as he should have been. We have been together 34 years and married for over 28 of those years, and he has always stuck by me, my best friend, no matter what. To say he is over the moon now about my weight loss would be an understatement. He never stopped loving me during all of those years of gaining weight, but I also totally understand why he was so frustrated with my weight gain since it's a problem he never has had to deal with himself. We are now having our second honeymoon phase. :hug:

The only laundry that shocks me is my underwear. :lol: I don't see the change in the rest of my clothes yet......weird. Although I had to laugh this morning....I wanted to get the lawn mowed before the rain rolls in tomorrow....pulled a pair of jeans out, put them on, let go and they fell down to my ankles. Pulled them back up, slapped a belt on and had a great time riding my lawn tractor - easier to turn now and my belly doesn't touch the steering wheel. What happens when all your clothes for doing dirty work don't fit?!?!?

I met my husband 21 year ago when I was about 190 - he also witnessed my weight gain and never said word one about it - concerned I'm sure, but never anything but supportive. When we celebrate anniversary #21 in August, I will likely be back in the 190 neighborhood. Full circle sure took a while. ;)

:cp: for all the good supporters we have!

Sounds like a great bunch of 100% OP DHs. Great finds ladies!

I will! :lol::lol: and still work the program for another great loss this week!

You've had a great weight loss!! Congrats!!

Keep up the positive attitude, take the 5 pound loss and when all is crazy around you, just remember us at 3FC, we're here to support you as you are always supporting each one of us!!

:grouphug:

Just stopped working in the garden long enough to eat a salad, drink a mango peach drink and then back out to the garden! It is so great here today!
I hope everyone has a 100% great OP day!

Hi, I have been reading posts daily since abt march 15 .Started IP on 3/18 . I have stayed 100% I want it to work . The support here is great ..... I am worried as I had my week 5 wi that my loss was very sm compared to other wi , felt discouraged all day . I want to continue 100% and have the sucess that I see can happen but worried my body is slowing down /getting used to plan?

My coach said low losses on weeks 4 or 5 and 7 or 8 are common. As long as you stay 100%, it will come off...but at YOUR own pace. I know it's hard, but patience is a must here.:hug:

W2 weigh in is coming up on Tues... and I'm stressing because aside from a 500ml diet coke on a Saturday night out I have been on track 100%. Coming from someone who never thought twice about sitting down with 'the big' back of Doritos... the coke is stressing me... arg.

Just wanted to drop in and let it be known...another day OP. Laundry, dishes and horses. Thanks to Salmongirl for the yummy dinner.
