I'm just shy of 5 gallons of milk. If you were to compare your weight loss to every day items what/how much are you? To be honest this is my second time around on mfp. It is much more difficult the second time. I will appreciate the loss much more and not *kitten* up this time. Now back to losing 1 gallon at a time. Good luck fellow food junkies.

    That means we've lost over 500 sticks combined! That's epic! Paula will be horrified ;) Unless she found the sticks of butter we lost...

    If it's Kerrygold though it's all mine. I'll keep that in my freezer. No one gets my Kerrygold. NO ONE!

    But seriously though. That's a LOT of freaking butter.

    for anyone interested ilostwhat is a great site, you input how much you've lost and it tells you the equivalent (I think it's pretty similar to the list @LaceyBirds posted above. :)
