    Congrats and great work! I keep trying to lose up to both of my kids' weight together but they keep growing. lol. They were about 60-65 when I started, but now they're about 70ish. shucks. ;) I'll catch up with them eventually.

    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.

    I love that comparison. Sometimes I look at stuff that weighs as much as I have lost and I cannot believe I used to carry that weight around. You look great, well done!

    5 gallons of Almond Butter:

    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!! :smile:
