I weighed the groceries!



Recommended Posts

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:

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
