What Do Things Weigh?

I used to carry about 9 of these around with
 me every day. Yikes!!!
Just to put your weight loss into perspective for you, here are some weights to compare to:

Sack of potatoes...5 lbs.

Gallon of milk...about 8 lbs.

The average three year old child....31 lbs.

A medium sized watermelon...3 lbs.

Adult Golden Retriever...70 lbs.

Three apples...1 lb.


SOOOO....that means if you have 50 pounds to lose that is the same as carrying around ten sacks of potatoes worth of weight each day. Can you imagine how hard that is on your organs and joints? This is way more than a cosmetic issue. When the weight comes off you will find daily tasks are so much easier when you aren't having to haul so many extra pounds along with you.
