    oh i love this, i 1st heard of this years ago at a ww meeting. u think 1/4 lb is nothing, " i ONLY lost a 1/4 lb" until u c a stick of butter, then a 1/4 lb means so much more!

    ~i've lost 92 sticks of butter~

    560.5 sticks of butter for me.

    I use gallons of milk. I give them a value of 8 lbs each. It is just something that has always helped me. Sticks of butter may of been a better idea as they would be easier to place back on your body. Where the milk jugs can be tricky!! Congrats on your weight loss!

    Sometimes its helps me to "picture" my weight loss in other forms. I like sticks of butter. As of this morning, I have lost 80 sticks of butter. Imagine THAT sitting on a table!

    How many have you lost!!?!?!?
    (Stick of butter is 1/4 a pound btw).

    That sounds like you used to be delicious.

    mmmm.... butter....

    STILL AM :laugh:

    Down 324 sticks of butter.

    I think I'll start tracking it that way from now on. Really simple image, but has a lot of impact. Thanks. :)

    As of this morning's weight I've lost 422 sticks of butter - ironic in a way because I'm lactose intolerant. Good thing I got rid of all that butter! :laugh:
