Lost my toddler!

mtsprout · June 2019

I've been working at losing weight since Feb. 11, and today I hit a major goal: I've lost 35 lbs—the same weight as my toddler. It's crazy to think that a few months ago I alone weighed as much as I do when I hold her now. My weight loss goal this year is 60 lbs (220-160), but this marker meant more to me than reaching 50% because it's such a great visual of how far I've come.

I had the same thought yesterday about my 4 year old. 40lbs gone and I am roughly the same weight holding his giant self as I was 6 months ago. Congrats on the loss, may your continued loss outpace the growth or your toddler.

Congrats, fabulous news. Now when you hold her, you are not holding twins!

I've never posted - yet lurk often! You should be very proud - and I have a connection.....last night my 11 year old son says to me - "how much have you lost now mom?" I tell him 94lbs - he looks shocked and says "that's how much I weigh!" During my journey he's been so cute - while hugging me he says "hey, my hand's didn't use to touch when I hug you - now I can grab my hands" - or "Mom, I can squeeze you so much tighter because I can grab my wrists!!"

And to think, my "toddler", 17 years old, is happy to weigh more than me.

That’s awesome! I hve twins who weigh 23 lbs each. I can barely manage to lift both at once; at yet that’s how much (and then some!) that I need to lose. You inspired me today - thank you!
