I figured I'd search up a bunch of 40lb objects on Google to get a tangible idea of how much I'd lost but didn't have much luck. I did find a few pictures though.
Here's a 40lb motor bike and...
A 40lb dog. I didn't add a link to the original photo because it was on one of those "Google Answer" pages and I couldn't even find the photo on the page (the dog is named Zoe). And...
40lbs of sweet potatoes. I didn't find many photos but I found enough to be glad I've lost that 40lbs! I've noticed a huge difference in how I feel already. I'm sick right now (along with most of Canada LOL) but I can't remember the last time I had a cold like this. Before I had a cold about once a month.
I really noticed it when it comes to donating blood. You can donate once every three months which adds up to about 4 times a year (depending on when the clinics fall). Looking at the back of my blood donor card for the last 7 donations I donated on:
July 14, 2007
December 8, 2008
April 13, 2009
December 19, 2009
November 20, 2010
January 22, 2011
March 19, 2011
My previous donation had been in 2006 so I missed three donations in 2007, three in 2008, two in 2009 and three in 2010. Most of those appointments were made then cancelled because I was sick. I haven't missed a donation since November (my next is in another month).
I have approximately 32lbs to go before I reach my goal weight. I'm looking forward to becoming even healthier!
