Talking I've lost five cats!
It's starting to sink in that I've lost over 30 lbs. I just realized I've lost the equivalent of about 5 cats!

Here are my two babies, Teddy & Tommy who weigh around 7 lbs. each. What have you lost? A sack of potatoes, a bag of flour? Please share, this will be fun!

That's wonderful! Keep on losing those cats. I suppose I've lost almost five myself.

My cat weighs 13 pounds. I lost almost 8 of him.

And 4 bags of his cat litter!!! It's crazy; I couldn't even lift that now. I can't believe at one time I was carrying it around on my body.

Wowee! I had a mental picture of you lugging all those cats (not to mention the cat litter) around on your body

You must feel great to have lost so much weight - good for you!

P.S. Your cat is about twice the size of my skinny minnies!

I have lost 2 bags of sugar and 3 blocks of cheese. WOW! I never really thought about it in that way before. Thanks for shifting my perspective!

Keep up the good work everyone!

I've lost a couple of bags of 20 pound cat litter! I tried picking one up and carrying it around the other day to see how it felt!

Your cats are cute!

Thanks penpal, it does feel pretty great. Yes, my cat is a tub of lard! I tried putting him on diet cat food at one point, but he didn't lose any weight.

I agree with you, HarpoChicoGroucho! My cat is extremelyx10 large. He weighs about twenty pounds or so, and finds pure enjoyment in lounging and eating. He only gets up just to eat or go to the bathroom, but yet the vet has given him a clean bill of health-- thankgooseness for that, of course.

I'd love to have a big ol' cat - I guess some breeds are bigger than others (or, like people, some just eat more!). I love my tiny guys tho.

Next time I'm at the store I'm going to line up 3x 10 lb. bags of potatoes and lift them up. I hope I don't put my back out!

Penpal your cats are wieners! I had a ginger tom who weighed 14lbs! A whole stone! I've lost 4 Busters! And one tiny Poppy (who weighs about 5lbs) she was the runt! Let's see if I can get some photos up here!

She's like a little ball with stumpy legs that stick out at odd angles, not very aerodynamic!

I don't have any digi pics of Buster, since he ran away from home before I got my digital camera

I've lost 2 bags of sugar and 2 bags of flour. (Mostly by not eating them, lol!)

Congratulations! That is great!

So far I have lost 16 pounds. That is equivalent to 1 1/7 Tiggers. Tiger is my 14-lb cat. He is a BIG BOY. Also, I could say I've lost 1/5 of a Patrick. Patrick is my parents' 90-lb Labrador retriever.
