SO true! I’ve been at my current weight for about a year now, and this past weekend when I was going through the airport and had to put my big heavy suitcase up on the scale, where I saw that it weighed 32 pounds.
I’ve lost sight of the fact that I was carrying around the weight of TWO of those— and I need to start reminding myself of that at every opportunity! EVERY pound counts!

I know. There was a picture of 50 pounds on a table and I was SHOCKED. It's huge. It doesn't look like much when you're shedding it pound by pound, but it really is a lot of weight! Congrats on your weight loss :D

I like the idea of mini goals. Thank you!

@BHowell12 : Mini goals help so much with motivation since motivation can be such a fickle thing. But, yeah, mini goals are so exciting when you reach them and giving yourself little rewards for hitting the mini milestones. :)

A supposed friend was getting angry at me telling me that if I lost any more weight... blah blah blah. I told her I was gaining weight!!! I just happened to be getting smaller due to the fact I was gaining muscle which is more compact... Don’t worry about the scale. It’s just a guide. Focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit!

@Sugar N Spikes : I know! I see my dad go through it all the time, "If you lose anymore weight you're going to be like a kite and fly away" and so on. You keep going Sugar.

@Srossca It's not bad at all to lose that much a year. I'd be happy.

You know another thing that puts things into perspective? Wearing a weighted vest. The one I wear is only 12 pounds but it feels like 25 because it's dead weight. People walk around with ten times this much extra weight on them if not more. It's unreal the strain we can put on our bodies while being careless.

This is a cool perspective

True Diablo. I was using the 60# set weight curl bar and had to carry it across the gym. It was a workout. Can't believe I weighed that much more and could walk around.
