I'm Two thirds the man I used to be

Today's weigh in (highly unofficial) puts me at 287.6lbs, which is two thirds of what I started my diet at (432lbs). My love for post grunge aside, this really seems like a lot of weight. I mean, literally one third of my mass has simply disappeared. In some ways, it's shocking to think that the human body can put on and take off that much weight without any really negative consequences.

I'm also getting to the point where the amount of weight I've lost (144lbs) is equivalent to a fairly average sized woman. It's been a bit of a mental game for me to track roughly how much I've lost. The first big one was 50lbs, thinking back to the pool store and 50lb bags of sand. Roughly 75lbs was a German Shepherd, and at 120lbs or so I started joking that I've lost a "sorority girl." It's been fun meeting people that weigh less than I've lost.
