I've just lost 17 lbs, which is equivalent to a larger (but not the largest) sack of dog food. When I go to the grocery store this weekend, one of my goals is to take a picture of myself holding the bag, then walk around with it for a while remembering the feeling of carrying that extra weight. Sometimes 17 doesn't seem like a lot, but it is when you look at it like that.0

I thought a different kind of ‘success story’ might be nice, so here are a few every-day representations of how much weight I’ve shed to date – 40lbs, with some help frm Google and their image search.
5 gallons of Almond Butter:
This beautiful chair:
Large bag of water-softening salt
This super awesome Celestron Telescope
These awesome light fixtures:
Star Dart carnival midway game:
A kindergartener:
Large bag of ax-E-Glo™ Stabilized Rice Bran *horse feed* Dimensions: 24 in × 18 in × 6 in
Giant fish:
Five 8 lb bowling balls:
And last but not least:
Anyway, you get the idea. It’s amazing to thing that I was carrying this much weight on my body CONSTANTLY every single day. How much have you lost? What’s it look like? Feel free to post pictures too!
I love this post! GREAT JOB!!0
