I've lost a Keira!!

Cccaroline

Hi everyone

I've lost 17 lbs so far, and when my daughter saw this, she told me my 6 month old grandaughter, Keira had just been weighed, and she weighs 17lbs, so I've lost a Keira!!
What weighs the same as your weight loss?

so far i've lost more than my 3 year old weighs probably the same as my 3 year old and my friends 3 month old together

(although ignore my ticker, i've started a fresh with new goals hence why it says 0lbs lost!)

More than double what my 1 year old weighs!!

I am 1lb off what my 3 year old weighs.... it really does make you feel good when you put it into this perspective. Well done

So far, I've lost more than my 4 year old daughter - by the end of the year, I would have lost my WIFE...

You know, 16lbs. is the weight of the heaviest bowling ball. You've lost more than that, which is truly impressive. Actually, I am right about where you are when you consider weight I lost before I started MFP. That feels pretty good, I too lost a Keira (or bowling ball)

want2walknotwaddle

2 car tyres and 2 guinea pig.............. wondered where those spare tyres had gone

MissingMinnesota

So I lost the average newborn baby stuck to the worlds largest ball of tape.

At the beginning of the week I celebrated losing my daughter! Well, the weight of my 2 year old (28lbs), its awesome but a wee bit scary too!

I've lost a car tire. Wow!

elinsofie

OMG, I've lost my head! That would explain a lot... :laugh:

andyj1984

I've lost two housecats and three guinea pigs! LOL

I actually did a test today, I got one of my hiking rucksacks and kept filling it with stuff until my scale read how much I had lost. I was shocked when I tried to lift it. It was the most fantastic feeling to "feel" how much weight I have lost from my body... Numbers on a scale are one thing, but when you can actually hold the amount of weight you have lost it is so impressive!

Congrats, before clicking on the post I googled Keira and found a model that looked like she was 90lbs. So I thought you might have...

sallycheese

What weighs the same as your weight loss?

I thought at first you meant Kiera Knightly, who also looks to weigh about 17 pounds.

Googling "weighs 24 pounds," my first result was that a giraffe heart weighs 24 pounds. So I'll go with that. I lost a giraffe's heart.

according to your chart I've lost the "chemical additives an American consumes each year" - wow, that's an eye opener...I'm happy to loose that - in fact chemical-wise, I'm sure I lost more that than since having quit smoking! (8 yrs ago)
