Today, my 11 year old got on the scale at my request - I was just curious what he weighed these days. After finding out how much he currently weighs, I realized once I reach my goal, I will have lost the same amount of weight he is currently at. It's just mind boggling to me to look at him and realize I have been carrying around that much extra weight for the last several years!

And, it has helped to give me some new enthusiasm for continuing on through the funk I have been in the last couple months. Now, to get down to work and loose the last 30 pounds!

    Congrats!!! Fun way to think about it :) By the way, it is losing not loosing. But it might be fun to set your son loose on the world!

    Well done. I don't think there's anything wrong with a maintenance break now and again. But other than that, best wishes on the continuation of your journey.

    I was expecting something else with the title.

    Congrats on the realization. Good luck on losing the rest of your excess weight.

    For me I'm losing myself. It's pretty sad that I've been carrying around the weight of another person...
