For my ultimate goal, I'm looking for a total loss of 60-70 lbs, and I'm not there yet. However, this morning I did my weekly weigh in and I'm happy to say I've broken the -40 lb milestone. Think about it. Fortyfreakinpounds! Four months ago I carried myself, PLUS an extra FORTY POUNDS. :drinker:

Here's what forty pounds looks like....

    Keep up the great work!

    LOL! They both do, but after taking this picture 2 weeks ago, I did some research and will no longer buy this brand. It's okay, but it's not the best. We got Alpo now.

    Oh, and I think the Alpo is in 45 or 50 lb bags. Looks like I have something to use as another visual in month or two. :bigsmile:

    Wow - 40 lbs since January. It can seem so simple when you actually track calories and are mindful about portion control isn't it??

    Thanks. Isn't something Elaine? It sure is a visual. I may post that pic on my fridge, but I'm still keeping this (before pic) as my inspiration. There's where the 40 lbs was!

    Awesome Job! Keep you the great work. Sometimes I think I "only" lost this much or that much and then you see a visual and realize how much that really is. Way to go!
