How many gallons of fat have you lost?
1 US gallon of milk takes up the same space as 7.8lbs of fat.
20lbs of fat is the same size as 2.56/gal of milk.
1lb of fat is 29.05 cubic inches, or a cube 3.09 inches on each side
1lb of muscle is 23.89 cubic inches, or a cube 2.88 inches on each side
Grab the 5 dice in Yahtzee...that is about the difference in size between the two
So, how many gallons of fat have you lost?
3.67 gallons for me.
1gal = 7.8lbs
2gal = 15.6lbs
3gal = 23.4lbs
4gals = 31.2lbs
5gals = 39lbs
For those challenged by math (Weight you have lost in lbs / 7.8) = gallons
20lbs of fat is the same size as 2.56/gal of milk.

1.44 so far, but just started diet and exercise program January 8th. I never thought about it in terms of gallons, but that really makes you think about how many hot wings I have lost so far...By my calculations, that's a little over 1009 hot wings in just 20 days. Now I'm motivated to keep going!0

That is a good way to look at it.
Did the math a while back to realize that 30 lbs of fat is the equal in calories to eating 191 Big Macs (128 if you also get medium fries and a diet Coke).
105,000 extra calories.
I don't think I ever got anything except large fries, and my "largest you got please" sodas were never diet.0 -
