I have 4 cats and I've maybe lost the equivalent of them all (they vary from about 7 pounds to 13 pounds). They would be exceptionally SQUIRMY though!

I laughed at the cat reference though because I generally think of my weight loss in terms of the cat LITTER--I buy 30 pound containers from Costco and I HATE carrying it into the house. It hit me one day that I'd lost about that much and holy cow! When you pick up something like that and realize that that much weight was on MY body ALL the time--no wonder my feet constantly hurt!

I'm working on a box of Pine Mountain Logs now :) I bought one earlier this week and could barely lift it into the basket--it's 9 6-pound logs for a box total of 54 pounds. I have a ways to go to that, but these kinds of concrete things really help (me at least) realize just how far I HAVE come!

This is such a fun thread - thanks, Penny!! :D

I've lost one giant bag of Iams doggie kibble. 5 more pounds and I will have lost one Chloe. She's a black lab and border collie mix - the world's greatest dog, and the consumer of the previously mentioned kibble. ;)

Good grief, I've also lost a medium-sized kindergartener!

What else? I wanna read more!

cheers! :hat:

Hi Ladies ~

I hope you don't mind me dropping in and saying what I've lost !! I have had such fun reading this post and seeing what you all have said !!

I've lost 1 1/2 Toy Miniature Schnauzers, like my Maizy who weighs 10 lbs !!
Wish I had a pic to post but i dont here at work !

CONGRATS to you all !! :carrot:

This is a great thread! Congratulations to all of you! Losing a cat, a dog, a kindergartener, a bag of sugar, a bag of dog food, or a carton of litter (boy do I hate toting those around Target!) is a great accomplishment!

No cats....
 

Wow! Everyone is doing great!!
My cats names are Shamis & Tucker. I adopted them from the MSPCA when they were about 9 weeks old (They are 2yrs old now). They are brothers that love to snuggle as you can see! They are more like man-beasts!! Weighing about 15lbs each!!!
I've lost 8lbs, but no cats yet!! LOL AWESOME thread! I love cats!!

Oh Christie, I *LOVE* your boys :) That appears to be a laundry basket? With a pair of BLACK pants in it? :lol: I have to get dressed with everything EXCEPT my pants in the morning and I throw them on just before I head out the door--even if I don't hold a cat or sit on anything, hair just seems to naturally get sucked onto black pants :)

Alison, sorry to but into your thread but if I did not know better I would say Shamis the cat on the left was my Joey.

That's actually Tucker (guess I wrote the names backwards-whoops :dizzy: ) I can't believe how much they look alike!! They really could be twins! Tucker does that all the time too! I have tons of pictures of him doing that! LOL! When I tell him "you're so cute" he automatically starts doing that. I call it his "I think I'm cute" pose!!;)

NoworNever-I actually live in the house of hair! anything or anyone that comes into our apartment is automatically covered! they LOVE to lay on stuff that is black!! I gave up trying to get the hair off my black peacoat, b/c it just wasn't worth it anymore!! I still love them though!

Let's see...I've lost about 2 10 lb. bags of potatoes, minus 2 or 3 potatoes. I'm at 17 pounds lost so far. In 2 more pounds, I'll match the weight on my driver's license (which I lied about in the first place!).

I can't get my kitty to cooperate to see what her weight is. I think she's around 10 pounds, too, so I guess I lost 2 kitties, too! She looks like your cats, Christie! Maybe they're distant cousins!

I got some new scales yesterday so tried them out weighing my sons.

I was shocked to see I have lost in pounds precisely what one of my toddlers weighs! I can't imagine carrying him round all day!

Thanks, everyone, for making this such a fun thread! :D

I just thought of another (less cute) way of expressing how much I've lost -

33 lbs. of this:

I've lost a 1yo child...Not literally of course :dancer:

I've lost a childrens-sized bowling ball! And, that is the most darling picture I have ever seen. Awww, I love kitties. Way to go!

A bowling ball - you must be glad you're not carrying that around any more!

I'm glad you like the photo of my kitties - they are spoilt little darlings who wouldn't hurt a mouse :mouse:

What a great idea for a thread, way to go!!!
I've lost either 3 bags of potatoes (the 5-lb bags) or an adult size bowling ball. Either way, this puts a totally different spin on things, because I wouldn't want to lug around either one of those all the time.

Congrats to everybody on the great work :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:
