Next time your at the gym go over to the free weights and pick up the amount of weight you have lost to this point. Walk around with that extra weight. Feel what 25 lbs does to your walking. I go up the stairs with that weight and wonder how I did it in the past.

    excellent idea.
    I remember being amazed when I lost a lot of weight (quite a few years ago now) that I'd lost the weight of a very heavy accordion that I was learning to play at the time. I could hardly lift the bloody thing - it was amazing to think I'd been carrying the equivalent around. :noway:

    I have thought about that too but I equate what I have lost to three 10-lb bags of potatoes or 30 lbs of butter. Ewwww.
