I work in School Nursing, I weigh and measure children as part of my role and today I saw 5 children who all weighed LESS than I have lost! How amazing to think I have been carrying an average 5 year old around with me all this time!
I had not thought about it before, as we weigh them in kilo's and I use pounds, but a Mum asked how many stone her son weighed and so we worked it out and I looked up and said "he weighs less than I have lost since March!"
WOW, Seeing that weight in 'people' form really brings it home to me what I have achieved with the help of MFP! Lots of people in my schools who have not seen me for a while (summer holidays and then my Honeymoon) are commenting on how much weight I have lost and how great I look, I have recommended MFP to each and everyone of them!
