I brought the groceries into the house today. Before I unpacked them, DH said "Wait! Wait!" He ran upstairs to get the bathroom scales. He weighed two of the sacks and handed them to me! He said "You want to lose 100 lbs. Those sacks weigh only 25 lbs. Try to imagine carrying around 4 of them all the time."

Guess he will be supportive.

lol, I never thought of it that way, but geez, thats right we are carrying around extra sacks aren't we. That was really cute. I'm going to think of this every time I lose 25lbs. :biggrin1:

I bought a 10lb bad of potatoes ....only because they were 89cents. LOL but I have lost almost 6 of them....that is crazy. Dag I'm heavy......

I think that all the time when I pick up my kids. So far, I have lost a Max and 1/2 a Phoebe..........

My baby now weighs 25 lbs. He is very heavy to me after a while. I can't believe that I have lost over 2 of him. That really puts the whole actual feel of the weight into perspective for me.

Oh Yeah, the dog food aisle is my FRIEND!!!! I regularly stop there to lift a 50 pound bag. I have lost about 60 since my high weight. WOW! I love it! Then I lift a 38 pound bag and know this is how much I still need to lose. It keeps my eye on the prize. LOL

Yesterday I was holding my great-nephew (25lbs) and my baby wanted me to hold her as well (another 25lbs).. They were SOOOOO heavy.. and I've lost 10lbs more than that (60lbs so far) and I just can't imagine how I got through the day.. I could only hold the two of them for a few seconds before I had to give one of them to my sister.

My doctor always related our loss to dog food. He said to me that I'd been carrying around 2 extra, 50lb bags of dog food. When he put it that way, I didn't realize what a lug I'd been carrying around slung all over my body. Makes you feel good when it's gone.
