Robin, you have made phenomenal progress! I also love your posts and I really appreciate that you have listed your started weight. Seeing 3FC members like yourself that had made such incredible progress has been really inspirational to me in my own struggles. So I'm with everyone else--keep your starting weight!

Robin -- I agree with all of them! :D

As for the realization, I remember having the same realization one day in a similar way. In fact, it happened several times along the way.

I sometimes think I need to be smacked on the head over and over again to really understand I've lost 120 pounds.

Okay, okay the 287 big ones STAYS. But if you guys see, it says right there that I should keep it up there as a reminder to myself. But of course you're all right, as usual. I do hope that people find motivation from it. Because really and truly, I know this sounds cliche', but I'm telling you if I could get it together and lose the weight, then I promise you - ANYONE could.

As for the realization part, I think these last few days have been, well, odd for me. I don't know any other way to put it. Of course I will never, ever forget just how miserable and inactive and did I mention MISERABLE I was at 287 lbs. BUt it's so funny. In some ways it seems like it was soooo long ago. And it wasn't. On one hand it's hard for me to realize that I'm not 287 lbs any longer and on the other hand, it's seems ages ago, a lifetime ago in fact. How can I have such feelings on opposite ends of the spectrum. I just don't get it. I was wondering if anyone else has or has had similar feelings?
