Ok, so the other day I was feeling crappy about myself because I haven't come as far in a year as I had hoped. (I've lost about 68 pounds in a year, had hoped to lose at least 20 more than that). So I was talking to a friend of mine and he was trying to encourage me and he says "Seriously, that's amazing. You lost my 7 year old!!"
For some reason, that totally turned my thinking around. I literally lost a small person in fat off of my body! Granted, I have a petite woman still to lose (110ish pounds) but damn! So what have you lost? A full grown adult? A small child? A pomeranian? Kinda fun to think about, and it motivated me, at least to keep going

I have lost 27.5lbs since my heaviest weight, so a small size dog I guess. Ü

Let's see.... I've lost 1/2 of my dog (foxhound) or 1/4 of my husband's dog (heeler/lab mix). Not bad for 20.8lbs (me, not the heeler, she's a fatty LOL).

Fun :-)
I've lost over half my son (he is a bigger 7 year old!), or I can say I've lost my daughter and a friends baby - so either half a kid or two kids ;-)

Try picking up a 7 or 8 year old and carrying them around all day. Makes you wonder how we did it with the extra weight!!

A friend just bought a 10lb sledge hammer. A bugger to carry round the box store to the checkout. I lost that hammer. I've gained the handle since then but that can be fixed.

I'm down the equivalent of the World's Largest Ball of Tape + a chihuahua.
By the time I am done, I am looking forward to literally being half the man I was when I started.

I recently bought a 40lb weight vest, which is about how much I have lost. When I picked it up I could not beleive I was carrying that much around a few months ago. When I had my daughters try to pick it up, it gave them a new respect for what Daddy had being doing all those mornings when he left before dawn!
My 9 year old weighs about 50lbs, so 4/5 of my daughter.

Congrats to you! I told my friend the same thing when he lost 65 lbs. He went on to lose another 40!
