What Does a Pound Look Like?

We hope everyone is enjoying the great recipes posted. I have tried the almond chicken this week and it really is tasty stuff. Love me some chicken boobies. As most of us prepare for our first weigh in I thought it appropriate to discuss what a pound of weight actually looks like. Some bitches have weighed in already and a few have commented that they have "only" lost 2 or 3 pounds. This is SO not the attitude to have ladies and you need to stop it, RIGHT NOW.

I know, I know, you're all thinking, "Dual Mom, you don't need to tell me what a damn pound looks like...I SEE my ass, I have a mirror." Just humour* me people. Go to the fridge and take out a pound of butter and put it on the counter. THAT is a pound. So you've lost three of those and you're using the word "only"? You have lost that off your ass, or your stomach or wherever it has come off! Think of it in reverse, think of putting three of those onto your ass....I bet you would not use the word only. So why use it when taking the lbs off? Stop that crazy talk. Every pound lost is a pound closer to your ultimate goal. I have an actual image of a pound of fat, but it's pretty gross, and while I'm all about grossness and shocking people I know some of you probably don't have the fondness for such things like I do, so I'll refrain from posting it.

Over the past week I have been reading many a blog sites regarding weight loss. There are some pretty inspirational stories out there but when I stumbled upon this last night I had to share with you. First off, he's a guy, so he tells it from the male perspective. Secondly, this guy...... this guy had me laughing so hard my stomach muscles hurt this morning. AND he's lost 90.7 pounds over the past 37 weeks and still going strong. His sidebar indicates a list of goals at various weight loss levels; at 90 pounds lost he says he's getting a mani/pedi or sacrificing one of his dogs to the brazilian demi-gods.

This is a sampling of one of his posts:

The Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl blogged ‘bout his weight.
The more he wrote, the less he ate.
The less he ate, the more losses occurred.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Baa Baa Fat Sheep

Baa baa fat sheep,
Have you any determination?
No sir, no sir,
Need some motivation.
Some to make me eat less,
And some to make me move,
And some from all the blogs
That keep me in my groove.
Baa baa fat sheep,
Have you any will?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Now I’m made of steel.

I have no idea how he makes that shit up but that's a very SMALL sampling of the hilarity that is Jack Sh*t Gettin Fit. Go visit and give him some LIB love. Perhaps we'll convince him to do a guest post for us? Hmmmm Mr. Jack, hmmmm??

Be sure to let us know when you have your weigh in posts up ladies and gents so we can cheer you on and offer our words of wisdom. We're all about the wisdom here at LIB, dontcha know?

That's all for now.
