Compare your loss to something random

cjduckie

Hi all

So here's something I've just thought of that might be a bit of fun... we've all heard the weight loss comparisons e.g. 2kg's is 4 whole blocks of butter; or wow - that's a whole pocket of potatoes etc... Now, where my thought came from is I have finally passed the 3stone lost mark i.e. 20kg's/44lbs gone!! I travel a lot for work, so the first thing that came to mind when I realised I'd lost 20kg was "that's equal to my whole baggage allowance!!! a whole suitcase!! the airlines should give me free double baggage allowance!" Ahahaha :laugh:

So... I thought it might make for some interesting chit chat... Compare what you've lost so far to something completely random, and let's see how creative you can be :drinker:
