OMG, you are SO where I want to be. I am 10 lbs away from a weight beginning with a '1' and that loss will also put me in the "overweight" category.

I can't 'weight'!

The Story of 80 Sticks of Butter

A number of years ago, a dear friend of mine just starting on her weight loss journey was seeing a nutritionist. During the first week, my friend reported the loss of her first 2 pounds, saying, "Well, it's just 2 pounds," to which the nutritionist responded, "You sound like this is no big deal! Think of it this way - 1 pound equals 4 sticks of butter...so you just lost the equivalent of 8 sticks of butter!" Quite a unique way of looking at shedding pounds.

As of August 16, 2010, I have lost the equivalent of 80 sticks of butter (I'll let you do the math...) However, I still have many more sticks yet to lose. This is a record of my journey.
