Dontondan Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I was at the grocery store and picked up some cat food and kitty litter and it was 40 pounds and I could barely lift it into the cart.....I have lost 50 pounds so far. WOW! No wonder I have more energy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 That is cool! What an interesting way to compare your weight loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's fabulous! I am amazed at the transformation of MamaMichelle and BeBe at 45 and 25 lbs....it's amazing how much weight that actually is!! I tend to think of a pound and compare it to a pound of butter...10 lbs gone, 10 lbs of butter. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
