Fantastic. I used to carry the equivalent of a 25 kilo sack of sheep feed, while I was also carrying a bag of sheep feed for real. Not surprising that my back was done in is it?? One thing, our muscles must be pretty strong hey? Keep on with it, you are losing and will not go back, not this time. We won't let ya' ;)

I was contemplating putting some weights in my backpack when I go walking to increase the exercise value, but then laughed at myself. I lost weight so that I could put less stress on my bad feet and bad knees! Why would I want to carry extra? Lol! Here's to more energy! 🍻

Yes! Those are the times I get motivated. I can now pick up the 40lb bag and hoist it over my shoulder and walk out the door! You will, too!

Isn't it amazing to have an actual picture of our success?! Good for you for losing so much and for finding motivation in something that might be simple to someone who has never walked this journey! @Heidij...I thought about doing the same thing, but I never really thought of it in that way. You are right! We work way to hard to turn around and put that stress right back on us. Our bodies deserve the break!

Exactly! I'm like, how can I be 50 lbs overweight when I can't even lift 50 lbs! Its mind boggling.

Ha, I had that same epiphany carrying a 40 lb bag of cat litter to my car! It's insane how much more I felt it on my knees and feet.

Good job! All you need is some perspective! When I'm feeling like this is taking forever or I can'tr get my head wrapped around my new lifestyle, I go pick up a 10 lb bag of sugar and walk around the store with it for a few minutes. It reminds me that I've lost twice plus that amount that I'm not dragging around all the time. Blessings ...
