This was a fun thing we did about a year ago on MFP.

Find out the weight of an object that equals about the same amount of weight that you've lost.

For example if you've lost 5 pounds (a book weighs about a pound) so you post on here that you've lost 5lbs. OR lost about 5 books. Be proud of what you lost.

I've lost 81 lbs. OR I've lost a two man canoe.

    That is a fun idea!

    Since joining MFP I've lost 7 lbs....so I suppose I've lost a small bag of potting soil and 2 plant pots!
