S/C/G: Reboot with 140 as my goal

Height: 5'4"

Default Weight Loss Photo - a fun way to look at it.

How about sometime during December everyone post a photo in this thread of what represents the amount of weight you've lost this year on IP!!! I'll go first.

I've lost this.

My first thought was, since I've lost a gold brick, can I keep it?

But now, I will use this for those nosy questioners "so how much did you lose"?

Now I can say a gold brick! It would seem like a polite way to steer the conversation somewhere else (and probably equals the amount I spent on IP products as well)

Great list.
