A New Game!


Recommended Posts

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! :)

I lost:

5 bags of 25 pounds of dog food.

6.5 pounds of butter cut off my tummy and around to my back. 2 cubes lippo’d off my sides and back.

.25 pounds of skin removed from my breasts - .5 pounds of inserts added under the muscle back to my breasts (You forgot to add those Pammie)!!

All of that to take my body from here: http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?auto...=si&img=405

To here: http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?auto...=si&img=432

I'll give up the bags of dog food anyday!

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.

Hey, I like this game! :cheerleader:

I've lost 5 Chihuahuas and a Guinea Pig :good2: , but I still need to lose 2 average two year olds and an ostrich egg! :negative:

Thanks Kittycat for coming up with the game and thanks Mamamichelle for the list. =D>

FUN! :party:

p.s. 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!
