Did you know that 4 sticks of butter weigh a pound...AND...butter is pure fat. So for every pound you lose, you've essentially lost 4 sticks of butter.
My husband and I came up it sitting at the dinner table early on in our weight loss adventure. Its been a really cool way for me to visualize just how far I've come and really see just what I've lost. So far I've lost 29 lbs...OR...116 sticks of butter!!!
