14 year old son
Hi All,
We had a garage sale today and had great results. Anyway, we had a scale for sale. My 14 year old just got weighed at the doctor on Thursday and he weighs 140. He weighed himself on the scale and then I did. He still weighed 140, so I knew it was pretty darn close. I only weigh 10 pounds more than my 14 year old son!! He's playing football and will start losing a lot quickly due to the work outs and stuff, but the cool thing he said to me was, "Mom, you're getting really skinny! I'm serious." He said it like he was concerned. It was cute! 
20 pounds to goal!

Irela,
You look great! Isn't it wonderful to have other people close to you notice the difference too.

I remember when I was about your son's age, my mom lost 113lbs on weight watchers. All the people that lost over 100lbs were asked to do a fashion show put on my sears.
I sat in my chair I cried and cried because I was so proud of my mom and all she had accomplished.
I know your son must feel that pride for you as well. Rejoice in the moment.
