What Does Your Weight Loss Compare To? Let's Have Some Fun!

230lb is about the weight of one-half cubic meter of freshly fallen snow!

Hahahaha thank you, knew I could count on you!

Sometimes men say the stupidest things to women.... and as an almost 6ft tall woman, no matter which way you slice it...I will never be average....

So one of my Docs- not bariatric, who has been one of my greatest WLS supporters... one day I was at his office he said "You've lost more weight than I weigh, it was like you were carrying me on your back'... {{cringe}}

Somehow that was meant to be a complement to the great job I was doing.... but it got lost in translation...LOL

Or when the PS was trying to explain something to me and says "We are about the same size (referencing height and weight) but you have broader shoulders" .... really Doc? On what planet does telling a woman she has broader shoulders than a man make her feel good about herself? Or make her listen to whatever you are trying to explain after that.....

I can laugh at them, and they are both great Docs but....

So I have lost a person- another person my height and obese... that is really mind blowing to think about...

I have also lost 11 20lb thanksgiving turkeys....

Just gotta say:  If I had a Hugh Jackman, I would not want to lose it.

Wow! I lost a refrigerator! . I still can't believe it! 

From a size 32-34 to a 10-12! 

The weight loss initially was rapid but then slowed considerably. However by following the rules, over 5 years I have been able to lose & now maintain a steady weight.

i developed a thyroid condition, a goiter, an enlarged thyroid, which was recently removed. It caused sluggishness, & slight weight gain. The doctors have said that when the medication is properly regulated, I will be more energized & able to lose the few pounds I gained. 

I cooked a 12 pound turkey for thanksgiving. I've lost the equivalent of 10, 12 pound turkeys.  I can't believe I carried that much weight on my body!

Knowing I have lost a typical refrigerator makes me feel mega awesome!! 

WOOT!

Since surgery, I've lost the equivalent to the Stanley Cup!! lol  

Since I started losing weight after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in July 2014, I've lost 3.5 Gold Bars (95 lbs).  That is so funny!! 

As of today I have lost (overall) the 1984 Olympic Women's All Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist, Mary Lou Retton.
