Weight Loss Comparison With Everyday Objects

November 16, 2011

Okay, normally I don't do 2 posts in one day.  But, I'm going to.  I just found this on the HCG forum (on FB), which has a ton of great stuff.  But, this was not only an eye-opener, but fun!  All of us on any sort of weight-loss journey use the word "only" when describing how much weight has come off.  Yet, we quickly follow it with how much better we feel.  Well, this is why ...

Go to the chart below and find how much weight you have lost (from 1 pound to 400, they are all there).  Then, it'll say what your "lost" from your body.  After you find it, message me here (as anonymous so it'll post, but then put your first name so I'll know who I'm talking to).  FYI -- I've lost a cinder block.  That makes me feel awesome, because I have 4 of them in my garage and they are REALLY hard to pick up!

WHAT HAVE YOU LOST COMPARISON: 
1 pound = a Guinea Pig
1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs

33 pounds = a cinder block
36 pounds = a mid-size microwave
40 pounds = a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg
44 pounds = an elephant’s heart
50 pounds = a small bale of hay
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner

  1. I've lost 10 dozen eggs and counting, Lord willing. Going to Disney next week on P2. We will see how that goes. May have to take 2 weeks off. I have been reading about people doing that and being successfull. They do the Atkins Diet to maintain.

  2. GREAT JOB, Lisa! And, you've only been on this for 22 days. That's just plain awesome. Keep up the good work! Yes, people can do planned interruptions. I've not tried them, but I think you just stop taking drops 2 days before your break, then increase your calories (mainly in protein) to 800 calories a day. Then, when you're ready to get back on, you start the drops again and go back to 500 calories. I think. But, ask Abbie (her blog is over there on the right), because she's my guru. OR, join the HCG support group FB group and ask there. They immediately get back and know everything!
