in Motivation and Support
Ok, so the other day I was feeling crappy about myself because I haven't come as far in a year as I had hoped. (I've lost about 68 pounds in a year, had hoped to lose at least 20 more than that). So I was talking to a friend of mine and he was trying to encourage me and he says "Seriously, that's amazing. You lost my 7 year old!!"

For some reason, that totally turned my thinking around. I literally lost a small person in fat off of my body! Granted, I have a petite woman still to lose (110ish pounds) but damn!

So what have you lost? A full grown adult? A small child? A pomeranian? Kinda fun to think about, and it motivated me, at least to keep going :smile:

    I have lost 27.5lbs since my heaviest weight, so a small size dog I guess. Ü

    Let's see.... I've lost 1/2 of my dog (foxhound) or 1/4 of my husband's dog (heeler/lab mix). Not bad for 20.8lbs (me, not the heeler, she's a fatty LOL).

    Fun :-)

    I've lost over half my son (he is a bigger 7 year old!), or I can say I've lost my daughter and a friends baby - so either half a kid or two kids ;-)

    Try picking up a 7 or 8 year old and carrying them around all day. Makes you wonder how we did it with the extra weight!! :noway:

    A friend just bought a 10lb sledge hammer. A bugger to carry round the box store to the checkout. I lost that hammer. I've gained the handle since then but that can be fixed.

    I'm down the equivalent of the World's Largest Ball of Tape + a chihuahua.

    By the time I am done, I am looking forward to literally being half the man I was when I started.
