A while back some one put up a list of what things weigh and I realized then that I had three 33-pound cinder blocks to lose. I guess I latched on to this because at various times I've had to move cinder blocks around our little farm and they are so damn heavy. The thought of carrying three of them around with me all the time is just crazy. Well, I'm happy to report that I have lost one of them now. That one was on my belly, I think. Quite the chunk! Now two more to put down -- can't wait.

Wow! I love when you can compare your weight loss to a common item like that! That's amazing! Great work!!!!!

Blue Girly, way to go on the 53 pounds! Next time you're at the store, try to pick up a 50 pound bag of dog food. Yikes. I'm already feeling so much better to be 34 down -- really looking forward to that fifty mark. Have a great day!

Congrats, Bandista! Glad your Winnie the Pooh belly is deflating ..... LOL

Woo Hoo..... Great Job and Congrats!!!!!

That's awesome bandista! A cinderblock is a great comparison...I like to say that I've lost a 4th grader or a 10 year old. LOL!!!

I LOVE this comparison! It really gives you a visual and a "feel" for what that 33 lbs feels like. So no that you put it that way, no wonder I feel so much better these days! Can't wait until I lose a couple more cinder blocks!lol...I should feel like a million bucks by then! Good job, Bandista and thank you for sharing!

love the comparison,.

sometimes it seems I 'only' lost so many pounds until you compare it to something tangible

then its like 'wow' I lost a cinder block or small child

cool beans!
