    Awesome - can you believe that your poor bones were carrying around all that extra weight? Keep up the good work!

    I know! It makes it so real to me. I still have two more of those suckers to shed!

    That is awesome way to go! Yeah I wouldn't want to hold up the other amounts either, that would be really heavy and probably awkward to hold... though funny how that can be transferred into the weight we carry every day.

    All that to say good for you :D

    congrats! I am measuring my weight loss in 20lb bags of cat litter. It's kinda o_0 to think about carrying all that around with you.
