Amusing myself
 

When I first started loosing weight, I found a couple of cans of beans that weighed exactly what I had lost. Pretty soon, I needed a brick to equal what I had lost. Then two bricks. Now I need this portable car battery thing. When I heft that battery, I wonder how my feet survived!

Anyone else do this? Seems like there was a thread a while back.

I was telling someone else that at a WW meeting I attended just before Christmas they asked us all to bring in food for a hamper the next week. The catch was we were to bring in food that weighed the amout we had lost. It was amazing the amount that came in.

I guess I would be almost three 10lb bags of flour. ;)

This sounds like fun! A good reminder of why we're doing this. It comes off so slowly, it doesn't feel like I've lost that amount of weight. That's a fun way to put it into perspective.

I've lost 3 giant bags of dog food. :D

I'm always looking at weights in the supermarket and yelling to my boyfriend, "hey, hon! I've lost TWO of these bags of cat litter!" And sometimes I insist with childish glee that he lift them up to feel how heavy they are. I'm sure it drives him nuts, even though he's happy that I'm so excited/amused by it. :lol:

I'm lost a 50 lb. bag of dog food...and a little more :D

Since I bought books today... So far, I've lost the weight of my Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure textbooks combined. (And, as I as hauling them all around, I wondered if my total weight loss would eventually equal the total weight of all of my textbooks.)

I was just thinking about this the other day....I have 4 more pounds to lose and then my loss will be equal to my 15 year old daughter. Every time I look at her, I'm totally amazed and overwhelmed at the very thought of it!

I lost about 2 30lb containers of cat litter :) But yes, I wonder "How the HECK did I ever carry that around?!"

i found some pineapple weights at my shopping centre and they weighed 5lbs each and my loss is 2 of them and a lil more...... they werent sooooooooo heavey but still i was proud :D! tho it doesnt feel like ive lost how heavey that was?

We have a lot of dog and cat products going on here :lol:.

Speaking of dogs and cats. My dads dog weighs 48 pounds so she essentially weighs what i've lost, and there's no way in **** I can pick her up! It's crazy to know I was carrying that much excess weight around and didn't break in two.

I tell people I lost a 6th grader.

I've lost my youngest girl who is 5. Instead of losing baby weight, i've lost a kindegardner (sp??). Kinda of funny to think that when i pick her up and carry her around now, that's what i used to carry around everyday!! (oh...and her holding a 5 pound bag of sugar too!!!).
