Today, I bought a 6.6 pound bag of cat food and a 15 pound bag of cat food. I carried them out to my car and realized that in total, I was carrying 21.6 pounds and I've lost 22 pounds since March. It was almost hard to believe I've lost so much since I'm not a very big person and I still have 13 more to go.
wow - what motivation to maintain the loss! I don't want to make my body carry around big bags of cat food all the time! ;)

    kittywrangler! congratulations!
    when i had lost 11 pounds, i read that was equivalent to a medium housecat. i have 2 medium cats (11 lbs each, give or take a bit) so i've lost both of them now. i have one tiny cat too (about 8 pounds) so once I'm at my goal, I will have lost more than all 3 of them combined!

    i might be turning into a crazy cat lady... measuring weight loss in cats... :blush:

    and as for big housecats, the largest I've seen was an orange guy weighing in at 29lbs. So indeed that would make 11lbs a medium cat in comparison LOL I wish I had pictures. He was majestic.

    Brilliant. Of course now I'm going to weigh my cats and measure my progress against their weights, this must be the first recorded Crazy Cat Lady diet!

    I can totally relate to this. I've lost 5 stone and my youngest boy weighs 4st 13lbs. I wouldn't want to carry him around all day either!
