Kittycat Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's amazing when you think of weight loss in terms of objects, like Oprah did when he brought out her wagon of fat after losing a ton of weight. I'll start. I have lost 4 10lb bags of potatoes and 3 lbs of butter. Your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 When I did WW, they told us that every 1/4 lb was like losing a stick of butter. It helped when you were mad b/c you only last .5 that week - helped me to think of 2 sticks of butter being taken off my butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's amazing when you think of weight loss in terms of objects, like Oprah did when he brought out her wagon of fat after losing a ton of weight. I'll start. I have lost 4 10lb bags of potatoes and 3 lbs of butter. Your turn. I know what you mean. Today I put my camera equipment backpack on and it was 25 lbs. It felt heavy. Given that I have lost 37 lbs. It really drove home to me the effect of extra weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being a very good bandster this weekend and if I don't start behaving by the time it's over I'll have gained a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts and a rack of baby back ribs!
