After breakfast yesterday, I went to my embroidery class, which got out a little early and then I went to exercise---shop!! I walked fast as I had a lot to do before they rolled up the sidewalks in Eugene. Today I have lost a months worth of trash and am 1 pound and an ounce from onederland. Yeh. Julia

That is great. I have lost a Guinea Pig, and I'm on my way of losing an average adult man. Bil

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. Linda

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.
