You probably know that one pound of fat is the same as 3,500 calories but did you know that cutting 3,500 calories is the same as saying no to.....
44 apples or
35 bannanas or
206 cups of cabbage or
44 large eggs or
29 cups of 2% milk or
40 glasses of wine
7 big macs or
15 slices of pepperoni pizza
It would also take a 190 pound man to burn off 3,500 calories
back packing for 6 hours straight
walk for 13 hours at 3mph or
walk 101 miles.........you work very hard at losing weight be proud of your succsess

    2lbs this year versus a Big Mac a month?
    That is where I learn what I really value. My cravings. :laugh:
