I'm not a girl of extremes...on a scale of 1 to 10 nothing is ever a 1 or a 10, so while nice things have been happening since surgery, up until this morning I haven't felt like I had a WOW moment. I weigh on Monday mornings before I work out. I have lost 69 pounds since surgery - yea me! When I went to work out this morning, I tried to pick up a 70 pound free weight...and I couldn't...not without a hell of a lot of effort (and I'm pretty strong). My trainer asked "What the heck are you doing?" I told him that I was right about 70 pounds gone and I needed a sense of what that was. I could hardly pick it up!...how did I carry it around 24/7/365? Amazing! Jen

Another cool visual...... 4 sticks of butter are basically one pound of "fat"-- so you've lost 280 sticks of butter!!!!
