Your daughter is just way too cute, if she loves modeling I think that's awesome! When I was a kid my mom would often get approached for different things and I would beg to do them, my absolute dream was to be one of those kids who sang and danced with Barney!! haha, but they did a test run with a muppet and it scared the pants off of me, thus ending my showbiz career

lol, it's ok, I got over it

But your daughter certainly looks like a natural
I have similar issues with my bf concerning my weight loss. He's always telling me not to get too skinny and is always making "jokes" about how I better not leave him when I lose my weight. He's told me that he thinks I'll be out of his league if I were any skinner, so I know it really is an insecurity thing, and I'm sure it's the same with your husband. But, I just told him that at the end of the day he would see that it was only going to make our relationship better because I was going to being happier and more confident, so maybe saying something like that to your DH will help. Oh and then there's the real deal-sealer that of course it will just make the naked time better (sorry forum readers!

Size 9 is awesome, you must feel on top of the world!! Keep it up!
Thanks for the post! and I do feel like I am on top of the world (in those pants, lol) I wash them every night so I can wear them the next day....I REALLY need to go clothes shopping...all of my clothes from High School (except for those pants) I just took to goodwill about 2 weeks before I decided to lose weight...Most of the time I just wear my gym clothes anyways, so maybe it can hold off until I get to my goal weight! and I dont like wearing my other pants now...I guess they really are too big (sounds good to say that)...makes me look like a blob...I have curves now that I havent seen in a LONG TIME....and I even have HIP BONES that are trying to make a appearance, lol!! and thats saying alot since I had a kid...my body REALLY didnt like me being prego...
And With my little girl, if we ever did showbiz ( we have been offered plenty of times), they would throw her out the door! She is WAY too stubborn to be told what to do by someone else, and she is absolutely terrified of the muppets, too... We just stick with the easy modeling, where I can take the pictures, and there are no fights!
And I had a long conversation with my ol' man yesterday, and this morning (looonnngg fight) and he is pretty much convinced that I am meeting up with someone at the gym everyday...and there is NEVER a soul in there, I told him to come with me, to check the cameras, everything...I just cant convince him...tired of trying...I have given him no excuse to act like this...I have the same exact schedule everyday....drop my daughter of at school at 8, straight to the gym til 10:30,home for his lunch break, then I have to go get her at 2, then home...nowhere else....ever....I even work from my house....so I am thinking I might start keeping a closer eye on him...almost sounds like a guilty conscience....and as far as the "naked" part...he seems to have no interest...he is just attracted to bigger girls...which is great, its hard to find a great looking man that isnt shallow (but they do exist)...and I am not a skinny girl...I probably will never be a skinny girl...I dont really have a skinny bone structure...I am definitely curvy...so curvy that I have actually TRIED to lose weight in my boobs (lol), but they arent going anywhere....and since I have lost weight everywhere else...almost makes my boobs look bigger, which makes me look top-heavy...so I dont understand him....I am just going to blame it on him being a man! (no offense to other guys

Husbands can change too so try not to be discouraged. My husband use to be jealous and insecure. We have been together a long time now and over the years he has actually learned to be more considerate. He is my best friend now.
You are doing great and I bet your health is improving by leaps and bounds.
Thank you so much! I am hoping he can change...we have been at each others throats trying to come to some sort of compromise! He is too stubborn, and so am I...its definitely going to be some work! We are COMPLETELY opposite people...and we have absolutely nothing in common...but together we love the world

because everything I love, he hates, and everything I hate, he loves! its always rough this time of year anyways, with the holidays, and deer hunting season (oh joy!)...I am not a hunter...I would SOO much rather live in a city instead of 20 miles away from the closest gas station!
and my health is improving! Since I have been working out everyday, my arthritis doesnt bother me as bad as it used to...and...before I started this journey, I was having complex partial seizures due to my adrenal gland not working...because I never did ANYTHING...but I rarely have them now! used to be everyday!

I was in a 14! and could have swore that I still wore a 14, until I tried those on just to see how much I liked to get into them! lol...and I carry more weight than normal in my bones (I have the bone mass of a 6'1 female) and I have the most weight on my belly and my boobs..lol, well not as much as my belly anymore, that seemed to be one of the first things to go! and I also have PLENTY of that annoying back fat stuff...ugh.
and since I skipped yesterday, I will start with it!
Day 12
Weighed in at 161.0
Cold, COLD rainy, wet, miserable day! Took Evie to school, and hit the gym! Ran a mile, elliptical-2 miles (got up to a steady speed of 5.5), then biked 10 miles.... instead of doing my circuits today, I worked strictly on my abs
and I also did my cardio a little different... I broke it up into .5 mile increments...and didnt take any breaks at all in between (which I never do, but this process was a little different)....trying to break things up a little bit...losing weight at a much smaller pace than I used to...trying to change that a little
Day 13
Today was a icky day...its snowed! well, rather mushed...so kids didnt have school, so I slept in a little bit...actually I layed around the house MOST of the day...finally got myself up and runnin' about 2:30...went to the gym... elliptical- 1 mile....biked 9 miles....did my circuit once, and did some more ab exercises... came home...and ate some FRIGGIN spaghetti! bad, I know, but I needed to get my calories in (went over just a bit at 1350)...and I cook it with whole wheat noodles, turkey, and I sneak some flaxseed into the sauce....and I definitely eat it in moderation....getting settled in to watch "The Biggest Loser" big fan this year, because Vinny, actually was raised right down the road from me....big family friend...my sister actually went to her senior prom with him...should go like his page on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vinny-Hickerson-Fan-Page-Biggest-Loser-12/145837845507402 ), he really is a great guy and I am so proud of what he is doing, and he is a big inspiration...small town celebrity....also considering he made it big in the country music business, despite his weight
oh yea, and I havent got around to weighing myself today, probably just wait til tomorrow!
