Meet my goal of 135 - but still going to loose a bit more

I'm at 135
Size went from XL to medium tops and 6-8 pants.
It does not seem real, but I'm pretty proud of me (and Ben) for getting the excess weight off.
Without as much fat, we are both freezing when it's cold (and winter is here)
Added some tight under layers top and bottom to hold in the heat!
Bought one top for Ben and he's a women's small.... omg

Thanksgiving feast at Ben's family on Sunday - I made my rolls, but only let myself eat a little.
No potatoes or stuffing or gravy etc. His aunt made 2 dishes especially for Ben and I! Stir fry of collard greens with peppers and zucchini... and stuffed zucchini with eggplant and other veggies and a bit of Mozzarella cheese.They were both awesome.

I did allow myself a small slice of pecan pie (could not resist)

Thanksgiving I'll be at my sis's who will have the whole,,, everything... starch and sugar extravaganza with alcohol.. I will eat everything that day.. it will be my day off for probably a month but it will be worth it!

So excited.

When your husband gets skinnier than you ever can

Ben tends to lie rather than answer truthfully. He says it's because "I'll get upset" but its really because he's LYING. I asked him a couple days ago (when I was stuck at 140lbs) how much he weighed and he said "oh... I go between 140 and 142"  Knowing he was exactly my weight gave me hope that I can be lighter than him.

Yesterday amazingly the scale read 139. whoop whoop  And I asked Ben again how much he weighs. First he lied and said he hasn't weighed himself. Then he said he was "about 138 or so".... and when finally pushed, he said "133"  WHAT?!  I threw my glasses on the counter and stormed out of the room. Thats a total lose of 57 lbs in 5 months. Everyone has been saying he has gotten too thin, and now I'm afraid if he eats like I am he'll loose even more. I got rather discouraged. But really, I was upset because he lied about it. I absolutely HATE being lied to. With him, it's either a lie, a half truth, or an embellished answer that takes the question so off topic that it's not the same at all. Then he turns it around to make it seem like I am getting off topic.

Ok, Enough husband rant.

He's skinny now, but drop dead sexy. And I know, even at 139 I am way thinner with curves than I was at 180. Ugh... I was actually as high as 185. For me, that is way too much.
