That magic number "50"

I have no idea why 50 is such a magic number, but it is so true. I've been losing quite steadily and luckily for myself rather than anyone else, or I would have been discouraged by the total seeming lack of anyone noticing. Now that I have hit 47 pounds lost, and gotten right near that 50 pound loss mark, everyone I see is noticing and telling me how much thinner I look. I always heard people say it was about 50 pounds when yourself and others would really start to notice and boy is it true! I had a friend take a current picture the other day...waiting to get it and then I can do a before and after shot.

"50" is a "clink" over on the doctor's scales (50-100-150-200).....of course it's a magic number! the little "whizzzzz" on the doctor's scales of single pounds (1-2-3-4-5) doesn't make the big sound like that of the "CLINK!!!!"....awesome!!0

I think any number that ends in zero is a milestone but in increments of 50 is a biggie. I oved the comment about the clink. Maybe you could ask the Nurse at your Doctor's office to drop a quarter in an empty jar. Then you get that clinkc sound. :laugh:0

50 is a big deal! Of course, this is coming from the woman who has been sitting at 98 & 99 for months....just waiting to turn triple digits! Hoping this will be the week!0

Congrats! That's a HUGE loss. It's like carrying around 10 5-pound bags of sugar. Your body LOVES you right now! The hard work is really paying off!:bigsmile:0

Fifty is a magic number!!!! You just slid below a milestone number as well. Seeing yourself go below 350, to 300, to 250, etc., is exciting too! Go pick up a 50 lb bag of dog food and climb up a flight of stairs....that's where you have came from!0

Congrats! That's brilliant0
