Everyone keep up with your commitment. Maybe next month we will be picking up a 10 lb bag of potatoes. I'd love to try out that 25 lb weight of DH's. . .hopefully before too long.

Great reminder and encouragement! It makes me realize that 10 pounds doesn't seem like much until I visualize carrying around 10 pounds of flour. I realize how great it is to weigh that much less since the first of the year.
