NSV that kinda sucks LOL!
So my second job is a Realtor...
Prior to WLS, getting the big metal sign to go into the ground was really never a huge issue. I mean, come on... 260lbs standing/jumping on a sign makes it so much easier than 143 lbs!
Yesterday, try as I may, try as I might, I absolutely could NOT get that sign in the ground! I was so frustrated! I had to leave the sign and today I'm coming back with my rubber mallet!
I was literally jumping up and down on the bar, and the damn thing wouldn't BUDGE! And it had rained earlier in the day, so the ground should have been soft! (It is Oklahoma red clay for full disclosure)
The only downside to losing my weight I've missed so far

I have had trouble scooting furniture around to mop my tile floors. I thought at first I had gotten weak...then I realized it was simply that I used to push with my 265 of body and the couch would slide easily. My 127 body doesn't impress the couch one little bit! lol

I had a similar issue -- I had my great aunt at the hospital for an appointment and she wanted to use a wheelchair. Getting her up a long ramp was a bit of a struggle, but I didn't really pay attention until we were leaving and we both just about went flying down the ramp because the weight of her and the chair basically dragged me down. I realized I didn't have as much downward force as I used to ;)
So funny! I had problems getting the shovel to dig into the ground last weekend because standing on it didn't work!

I can relate to such things. I have always played around wrestling with my kids and my son was never able to make me budge to move me and now when playing around he can push me and make me slide through the house. He keeps saying, "Mom, you need to let me see if I could pick you up, I bet I could!" LoL
Had VSG on 9/28/15
Lost 161 lbs since surgery, LOST 221 lbs overall so far!!
That's hilarious! Over here at work, I have a giant piece of equipment on wheels that I had to shift around. I could barely get it to budge and at one point I had to put my foot against the wall and push super hard. Quite a difference when you're used to just being able to shove things around! :D
