For fun: How much weight HAVE you lost?
I've almost lost an average me-height adult woman. Which is.. really disheartening to think that I -had- an average me-height adult woman to lose. But also something that I'm SUPER proud of myself for doing :D

I have just recently wrapped my head around how much I have lost. Sadly most of it is from the lap band making me so sick before and even after I had it removed. That said I have lost the refined sugar an average American eats a year or a 2 yr old horse and an average human leg! That comes out to 140 lbs!!! I am dumb founded I just wi**** wasn't from so much damage to my body and I feel 10X worse than when I originally got the band so was it worth it, not really, I'd much rather be heavier and feel better. I'm thin but can't even go out and enjoy it!
Including pre-surgery weightloss, I've lost a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and the World's Largest Ball of Tape!

I have lost an averaged sized refrigerator (200 pounds).
How in the hell did I carry that much extra weight around??
