Weight Loss Equivalents - MiniMins.com

Ok, I would like to know how much everybody has lost, and tell me the equivalent that you can relate your loss too.

I thought this would be a great thread, I hope you like it too.

Since I lost 25 pounds, mine pounds loss is equivalent
to 25 pounds of hamburger! That is a whole lotta beef that disappeared off of my body!

Ok, who's next.. what is your weightloss in equivalent to?

Also the size of an average two year old

I lost 112 lbs, which is 1 pound more than the average American eats in red meat a year and 6lbs short the complete Encyclopedia Britannica

Thanks KD,
Big or small, I love all of those equivalent comparisons. No matter how lil weight or how much weight, we all have the same GOAL to lose weight, so we can all relate.

I also gained a tonne of self confidence along the way

Lol I wish I had found this diet about 20 years ago, then maybe I would've been hot!!

Bit old and saggy now though! I think I need the air conditioner back to help with the hot flushes of menopause

Oh minilady that is funny. Hey oldie but a goodie no doubt. Hot flashes, I am always so cold,(I suffer from Raynauds syndrome) I seriously can not wait until I have my first hot flash, just so I can warm up!!!!! I have a long way to wait though unfortunately...
