    I've only lost 6 lbs since I've been on MFP, but I've lost 16 since my husband deployed, so I decided to go with that number tonight. I can't believe how heavy it felt. Your husband is a smart man!

    I really really need to buy a backback and make some 1lb and 5lb sand bags... makes me a little nervous but to be honest the first time I got down under 200lbs I did it WAY wrong and I never EVER felt that I had lost any weight. When I looked in the mirror I fels just a huge and disgusting as I did before I started.

    This would certainly help me get a grip on what it means to actually lose the weight.

    Funny thing is that I just did that. Went shopping yesterday and had to pick up cat litter. The bag was 42lbs and I was like WHOA!!! I used to carry that weight around everyday and now losing almost that is just amazing. Thanks for sharing and happy losing!

    What a great idea. You don't realize how much you've lost until you see it in front of you (or wear it). You've got a great man.

    I REALLY want to try putting all my weight back on like that... I just haven't decided how I can get 123 pounds in a backpack, lol.

    I was observing a surgery the other day, and they were using the C-Arm (portable x-ray). We all had to wear "lead" which I had never done before. Now this is much lighter than the dentist-chair lead, I'd say no more than 10 - 12 lbs total. But let me tell you , after standing in the OR with that strapped on for a few hours, my back and shoulders were screaming. It just reminded me how happy my body is that I am losing all this weight, and the stress that I am taking off my joints.
