I picked up some groceries on the way home from work today and my bag started to feel heavier and heavier as I trudged up the hill. I was thinking "man, this must be a good workout!"

Then it occurred to me to weigh my bag when I got home - it was 4.1kgs. When I started this journey, I was carrying 5.5kgs more than I am now around ALL THE TIME.

That made me feel great. :wink:

    That's happened to me! Every day I lug around a 5kg laptop bag full of accessories.. and since I've started losing weight, I think about how wonderful it is that when I get home, I CAN TAKE 5KG OFF JUST LIKE THAT!

    What a boost to your day :)

    Good for you!

    I am often reminded that a gallon of milk weighs about 8 1/2 pounds. I've lost about 50 pounds. That is about 6 gallons of milk I was carrying around with me all the time!
