How much have you lost?

[TexasDy 53]

I posted earlier that I am working on remembering how far I've come to help motivate me to where I want to be... I've lost a total of 76lbs (gained some back). So I had a coworker take my picture with two 35lb Water jugs.

How much have you lost? Is there an item that weighs that amount that you can pick up to show yourself how much you're NOT carrying around any more?

As of a week ago I have lost 40 pounds in two months ... But texasdy are you aloud to wear Green Bay Packer shirts in Texas??????

Haha!! You're right... my daddy almost disowned me when I decided to join my husband as a Packers' fan

Congratz on the 40lbs! That's incredible!! Keep up the good work!

As of my weight this morning I am down 52 pounds. That is a 50lb bag of dog food. That is crazy to even think like that.

A while back some one posted a "what things weigh" list and for some reason I latched on to a cinder block weighing 33 pounds. I have always found cinder blocks hard to manage -- we have 16 acres, a farmette, and I've had to deal with a few of those in my time. So I was delighted when I shedded something that heavy. Imagine carrying around a cinder block all day, all night. Well, you have reminded me that at 66 pounds I will have put down two of those! No wonder I am so happy and full of energy these days. Geez. And now I have my next little goal, yippee!

I am down 46 pounds which is equivalent to a five year old child. Ha!

I fluctuate between 125 and 127 lbs. so I've lost 140+ lbs. That's more than half my initial body weight before surgery. I imagine myself literally cut in half when I think of before and after. I post this picture sometimes to show people what this amount of weight looks like. Yes...those are both pictures of me and I think it says it all.

There is no way I could even pick up what I have lost , like a 110 , lbs so far.

From my all time high 90 lbs. since banding 70. Cannot imagine going back to being so tired. Left items at bottom of stairs for hours to make fewest trips up. Clear now

It's so inspiring to read all of the weight everyone is losing. I'm only down 30 after 6 weeks but taking it a day at a time. Thanks for sharing everyone!
