Great analogy. Really puts it into perspective! Awesome!

ditto, on scaring the pee out of me! Congrats on losing that weight though!

great job on the weight loss!!!!

I started to tear up until I read your post. You sure got my attention ! Congratulations on your loss.

Heh. I don't know why, but I automatically thought that it was a thread about losing the equivalent of a 5 yos weight.

Congrats! And keep on workin' it!

My apologies to anyone that I worried or offended. It was not my intention.

I had just weighed myself and then my daughter and....it just came clear that that was how much weight I had lost. I was trying to imagine going about my day, doing what I do, all the while giving her a piggyback ride (or carrying that weight in some way) and couldn't imagine it. No wonder I feel so much better!

Again...so sorry if my post offended anyone.

I read your post and immediately thought "Oh my gosh, how sad." and then thought, "she wouldn't make a tragic post in the mini goal section."

I think it's great that you have lost that much weight!!

Yeah, that is why it never occured to me that it might upset anyone. But I know that I sometimes forget what section I am reading so I can see know how it might happen.

Thank you for all the congratulations!!

For what it's worth, I knew exactly what you meant in your title. Especially in the mini-goal section...as if anyone would post the loss of a child in the mini-goal section.

Anyway, congrats on your loss. I often think of weight loss in terms of my children's weight as well....My 17 year old, 5'10" son weighs 175...I lost him off my thighs and butt!

Great job and congrats! And what a great way to look at it...I want to lose my five year old too, plus possibly the dog.

Hehehe Good luck

I also noticed that the thread was in the 'mini-goal' section right away, so went immediately to amused instead of sad. Thought the title was kind of catchy.

Congratulations honey!

lmao. congrats!!

I think it is a good comparision. Congrats for all your hard work!
