30 lb bag of dog food, carry that around all day!

Look at me!! I can't tell you how surprised I am that I actually was able to do this, and it's working! I've lost almost 30 pounds, more than half way there, when I thought last year I was doomed to be a old round woman. I was seeing clothes at the store and judging them by "would a round old lady wear this?" or "this would look good on an old round lady!". The weight, nutrition, and fitness have been steady and improving since I started in about July. I only have this one before picture because I stopped looking in the mirror, and deleted all but this one of my fattest. I thought I didn't look too bad! Heh! Yikes! I was 48years old going on 60. Convinced this was just how it was going to be. I have a 10 yr old, though, and she deserves the kind of Mom I was to my other kids before her. So I decided to give it one more try and found MFP. Just picked it off the free ipod touch apps and got lucky! It was 2 months before I discovered all that was on the website.

Feeding my dog with the huge bag of dog food I realized I was carrying around a 30 lb bag of dog food everywhere. No wonder I couldn't get off the couch!

Keep going people. It's really better on the other side, and you can do this! I remember and appreciate the old me again! Never want to go back to that other person. What's-her-name. The one that didn't want to get off the couch unless it was for a bag of chips and dip.
