Wow Julia! Congratulations! You will be in onederland in no time. I'm not on the loser's bench yet, but I start my journey with the info session at OHSU tomorrow night. I'm excited. That list is a little scary though -- do people really eat like 138 pounds of potatoes and 140 pounds of sugar? No wonder we, as a nation, are growing so large. Well, we'll get to lose that sugar now!! Thanks for posting this -- it's a real eye-opener.

This is a great post but I think I am going to have to completely bypass the 55 pound mark. I don't wanna claim losing an elephant penis!! ROFLMAO.
I have lost a small bale of hay and I am 2 pounds away from the 5000 BTU air conditioner!! WOW ... this sure puts things in prospective for sure.
Thanks for posting this, Julia.
