Ice Cream is the bain of my existence. It's what contributed most to getting me here. With the band, I am learning to leave the evil ice-cream alone. Tonight I was reading the slow loser's club posts (I think Vines is great, too) and I noted that she represented her weight loss in "bags of concrete." I thought "what a charming idea!" So, I set out to find out how much weight I lost in terms of my own personal devil - the devil of ice cream!
Here are the facts I looked up, and the formula you can use to determine how much weight YOU lost in terms of Scoops of Ice cream!
Ice Cream analysis:
One scoop of premium ice cream has 250 to 300 calories<O:p</O:p
It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose a pound<O:p</O:p
Thus, each pound of weight loss equals 12.7272 scoops of ice cream assuming an average of 275 calories per scoop.
Formulary:
YOUR Weight loss, divided by 12.7272 = how many scoops of Ice cream you are down!

Here's an example:
Based on a 46 pound loss, that is equal to 585.45 scoops of ice cream lost.
