How many gallons of fat have you lost?

Morgaath · January 2014

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

What an interesting way to look at it.
Since December I've lost about 1.15 gallons.

In total since my highest weight I've lost 4.48 gallons!

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!

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.
