My husband made me cry two Saturdays ago, when he told me to pick up a dumb bell that he sat in the kitchen. I knew by looking at it that it was way more weight than I was going to be able to pick up, so I said I can't pick that up. He said yes you can--pick it up. Again I said I can't. He said "you have been carrying that much weight around every day for years" Moral to my story, I could barely lift it off the floor, it weighed 51 lbs -- the amount of weight that I had lost to that day. Talk about a motivating moment !!!:smile:

    very nice. now that I've lost more than my daughter weighs, I think about how I was carrying around that much extra weight every time I pick her up.

    Oh my gosh, that's amazing! I never really think of it that way. I am going to lift a 20 lb weight at the gym tomorrow so I can see how much I've lost! :)
    You are doing a GREAT job!
