I just got on the scale while my hubby was in the room.

I would NEVER have done that 5 months ago.

Just wanted to share. :)  I love that I'm moving from being embarrassed about where I started to being proud of how far I've come.

Last night at group I said I was going to get a t-shirt printed with my starting weight when this is over.  I was only half kidding.

You go girl!!!  I bought a tshirt before I started in a men's medium (I loved the shirt).  It has a peace sign on it and says Imagine.  I've been imagining what it would be like to actually fit in it.  Soon, I will wear it proudly!!!

I told my husband my starting weight only AFTER I weighed less than him. Of course he's an inch shorter than me and healthy weight so I had to lose 164 lbs before then. Yes, I weighed more then DOUBLE what he did. Mortifying.

Baby, i got you beat. Funny, i never even thought of this...but my highest weight was 402 (i'm 5'8"). my ex-husband weighed only 140 (he was 5'2"). so i was almost 3x bigger than him. 

 

i never used to date shorter guys because i thought bad enough being wider than them, i don't need to be taller too...but i ended up with a real chihuahua. have since given him the boot. maybe there's a tall man in my future!

Great!!

I found that telling my husband what I weighed after my consult 6 mos. ago not only woke him up and made him realize the trouble I was in, but it also was very freeing. For some reason it felt like weight off my shoulders. Now I tell him 4 or 5 times per week where I'm at LOL

I agree with Nikki , my husband found out my real weight at the hospital before surgery and I found it so freeing. Now I talk weight all the time. Al  he knew was that we had to pay for an extra seat on the helicopter tour in Hawaii ( because I was over the weight limit) That was so embarrassing !!! Tracy

That's great, Sarah.  I totally get that. 

Me too, getting it I mean! I tell him every day now... Versus when I was pg wth our second child, I made him leave the room to tell the nurse!

You should be proud!!!!!

The night before I left for Mexico my boyfriend asked me how much I weigh. I was half asleep and mumbled it. It was freeing, I suppose. Although I am sure he had a pretty good idea of how much I weigh because he has lost 130 pounds himself!

I remember my husband and I getting on the scales when we were first married. We were avbout 3 pounds apart (I weighed about 157). That was it, and for 30 years as I grew heavier and heavier I would never tell him ( and he didn't ask) what I weighed, as if he wouldn't notice just how fat I had become. I keep a chart on my desk for all the world-including me- to see now and I agree ditto- time with all the posters; How liberating and freeing it is to not have to hide in shame anymore.
