5 Gallons of Milk!!

I just hit 50 lbs lost!!! (doing the happy dance) I started to think about what weighs 50 lbs and it would be like carrying 5 gallons of milk with me wherever I went! I love my band.....I have 5 more gallons of milk to lose, 6 would be my stretch!

I am proud of me.....not something I am used to saying!

    I once complained to my mother, while on Weight Watchers, that I'd only lost a pound the preceding week. She replied "Picture a pound of butter. Now picture it around your heart."

    I'll never say "Just a pound" again.

    YEA YOU!!!! Congrats! You have lost 25.5 LARGE boxes of Velveeta cheese!

    You sure you have only lost 5 gallons of milk? One gallon doesn't weigh 10lbs, does it? Seems less. Maybe you are more like 6-7 gallons of milk! ;)

    Thanks everybody!! I think you are all right....its a combination of butter, velveeta, bags or potato's and sugar!!!!! Oh yeah and some milk!!!

    I have a feeling that the next 50 are going to be a little more stubborn. Time to kick into high!!!!

    a gallon of milk actually weighs 8lbs. You have lost 6.25 gallons of milk. That is even better! Great job and keep up the good work!
