FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 25, 2012 Thought it woul be fun to compare our losses to something other that lbs so it seems more real. For example a gallon of Water weighs about 8 lbs. my golden retriever weighs 70 lbs. my 18 month old granddaughter is 24 lbs.... So what have you lost? I weighed as much or more then most NFL players...that said I have lost 215 lbs.... the average weight of a Professional quarterback! How about you? 4 ☠carolinagirl☠, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!, dreamers and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 25, 2012 I have lost the weight of granddaughter! For those who have trouble relating, try picking up a 50 lb bag of something and haul it around with you for a while. It really brings it home! 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and FLORIDAYS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
