Butter redux

As promised here is a photo of me with the butter equivalent of the weight I’ve lost. :)

That’s 64 500 gram blocks of butter in that trolley. Here’s a closeup:

    Holy butter baskets, batman!

    That seriously puts everything you’ve accomplished into perspective, doesn’t it? Bravo, you.

    I’ve just stumbled upon your blog via Marshmallow… but I’ll be back.

    Cheers!

    I love it! Did you get any funny looks loading it in, taking the picture and unloading it again? (hoping you didn’t need to buy all that butter!).

    You do not look like you still have 48 pounds to lose, you look great!

    That is a great idea. Its nice to see a visual of all your hard work. Good job!

    Thanks all. I did get quite a few funny looks. Especially when my wife started taking the photos. But it’s worth it.

    Sometimes on this weightloss journey I think we tend to be too focused on the goal and forget how well we’ve actually done. So I thought I would help myself celebrate the progress.

    And besides, it’s just plain fun!

    Great picture! And you look great too! I agree, it’s very important to remember what we’ve accomplished and celebrate the successes.

    Nice pic Andrew, that is an amazing amount of butter. Can’t imagine you used to carry that much extra weight on you.

    Wow! That is so amazing! Sorry you’re ill, that always hurts my diet too, but hang in there, drink lots of water!

    Doesn’t that put into perspective! I bet you did get some looks that day! Go you!

    Hi Andrew,
    thanks you for your friendly comment on http://www.purzelpfund.de. We wondered if you would mind, if we’d put one of your photos (especially the second one ;) )from above with our article linking to your page – as a kind of teaser…

    In Weight Watchers, we always say that’s *x* number of sticks of butter, you’ve lost. What a great way to show it!
