I copied this down from someone on here, when I first started this journey and I thought it would be a fun reminder for all of you who are down about not losing what you expected right now....

Your weight loss =

1 pound = a Guinea Pig
1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs
3 pounds = an average human brain
4 pounds = an ostrich egg
5 pounds = a Chihuahua
6 pounds = a human skin
7.5 pounds = an average newborn
8 pounds = a human head
10 pounds= chemical additives an American consumes each year
11 pounds = an average housecat
12 pounds = a Bald Eagle
15 pounds = 10 dozen large eggs
16 pounds = a sperm whale's brain
20 pounds = an automobile tire
23 pounds = amount of ****a an average American eats in a year
24 pounds = a 3-gallon tub of super premium ice cream
25 pounds = an average 2 year old
30 pounds = amount of cheese an average American eats in a year
33 pounds = a cinder block
36 pounds = a mid-size microwave
40 pounds = a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg
44 pounds = an elephant's heart
50 pounds = a small bale of hay
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
60 pounds = an elephant's penis
66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
70 pounds = an Irish Setter
77 pounds = a gold brick
80 pounds = the World's Largest Ball of Tape
90 pounds = a newborn calf
100 pounds = a 2 month old horse
111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year
117 pounds = an average fashion model (and she's 5'11")
118 pounds = the complete Encyclopedia Britannica
120 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month
130 pounds = a newborn giraffe
138 pounds = potatoes an average American eats in a year
140 pounds = refined sugar an average American eats in a year
144 pounds = an average adult woman (and she's 5'4")
150 pounds = the complete Oxford English Dictionary
187 pounds = an average adult man
200 pounds = 2 Bloodhounds
235 pounds = Arnold Schwarzenegger
300 pounds = an average football lineman
400 pounds = a Welsh pony

For example, a loss of 128 pounds means you've lost almost a newborn giraffe or:
(10) dozen large eggs
(4) dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
(2) Chihuahuas
(2) Guinea pigs
****lephant penis
(1) average 2-year-old
(1) human head
(1) rack baby back ribs

Hi, Sher.
I remember this. It's fun to "find yourself" on the list, although I'm not sure which weight loss to use! ;)
I'm wondering, too, why I can't see Debbie's reply. Is it just me, or can others not see it, also? :(
Blessings,
Mary

Her reply was on here....I don't know what happened to it though..... How odd! That usually only happens when  you are blocked and I know what that is like! LOL

I know Debbie wouldn't block me. I say that, but did I check to make sure? Yep. I think there are still some OH.com glitches happening.

I have lost 168 lbs (303 to 135).  I have lost an entire Oxford English Dictionary, a sperm whale's brain, and a rack of baby back ribs.  Coincidentally, I used to be able to eat a rack of baby back ribs and it's a feat I wouldn't even be able to come close to doing now.
