I have heard that a gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds.

How many of you have lost 8 # already? You are now NOT carrying around 1 gallon of milk on your body.

How many of you are starting out? Maybe your first big goal could be 8# lost. That is BIG if you look at it in terms of how heavy a gallon of milk feels..or 2 or 3.
I have lost 6 gallons of milk just about. Can you imagine carrying around 6 gallons of milk ALL DAY EVERY DAY!

When times are hard...such as the holdiay season, DONT SECOND GUESS what you are doing. Just focus on your goals, if you stumble along the way, pick yourself up. We will surely help encourage you as best as we can cuz we have too- In a group like this, you will definately find support.


My dh says we actually are losing more than gallons of milk becuase fat weighs less than fluid weight...I dont understand that too much but he then said to pick up that 50# coconut oil I have in my soapmaking room. I hate carrying those things around becuase they are heavy...but I WAS carrying that around 1 year ago on my body.
See what I am getting at here.



Feel free to post your lost milk jugs here
