The best compliment ever....
 

....my 13 year old son told me he was proud of me. This definitely gives me the strength to stick with it and rid myself of the final 9lbs.

That's awesome!! And it shows that he notices that being healthy is important! Keep up the good work!!

Wonderful! You're setting a really good example!

What a great guy!! And yay to you for being a great mom and example for him! :carrot:

When a teenage boy NOTICES and then actually SAYS something that says tons! I would be floating too! Yay!

aww, what a sweetie!

Well that is a HUGE NSV!!! :congrat:

what a sweet kid, and what a great example you are setting for him - not just about a healthy lifestyle, as important as that is, but also setting a goal and sticking to it and acheiving it is such an important life lesson too.

Awww. That is so sweet.

Wow--that's pretty nice!!

Awesome!

Yay!!!

Aw sweet! I love when the teens say nice things. My 15 year old said "mom you are beautiful" if u knew him that would blow your mind!

That's so sweet. That's the best thing to hear. :)

Wow that's awesome :) You must feel great!

Your son has inspired me to go and tell my Dad I'm proud of him! He's lost a lot of weight and I know he's been trying very hard!

Thanks for all the responses.

My kids are very active- more than I ever was. I always felt like such a hypocrite. How could I stress the importance of a good diet and exercise when I didn't practice what I preached. For the first time in their lives I feel like a good role model and to me that's more important than fitting in a size 4.
I hope everyone finds their inspiration to make their weight loss journey easier,
