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!!!

    Wait... Wouldn't 22 pounds be 88 sticks of butter? 22 * 4 = 88

    I have been watching what I eat for the last year and so far I have lost 140 sticks of butter......or 35 lbs!
    My hubby ( who found out he is diabetic and on meds) has lost almost 200 sticks of butter.....or 50 lbs!

    My goal is another 25 lbs.....which sounds so much better than I said last year!

    March 2010 = 218
    May 2010 = 207
    August = 195
    November = 187
    January 2011 = 183
