55 lbs of Hamburger Lost!

Posts: 54 Member
edited December 2024 in Success Stories
My wife and I were preparing to cook 250-300 Sloppy Joe sandwiches for a fundraiser to benefit American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life". So, we bought 55 lbs of hamburger and had it on the counter.

It was then I realized .. that this was just about the amount of weight I had lost! My wife grabbed the camera, and snapped my picture with the hamburger as a visual idea of how much I'd lost!

    awesome visual!! 56lbs is an awesome loss but I don't think any of us realize how much we've lost until we see it in front of our face like this. Keep up the great work

    AMAZING!!! It doesn't seem like that much until an actual visual is put in front of you. A few years ago, before I hurt my back, I lost 97 pounds. I was coaching a varsity basketball team and at the banquet the head coach in front of everyone brought up the fact that I had lost a WHOLE JADE. She was a 96lb girl on the team. UNBELIEVABLE feeling isn't it? You should be so proud of yourself. Good luck at keeping it off.
