Lost 114 lbs. working on getting rid of a recent 10 lb regain...and WILL succeed!
While you were gone, I posted another fun way to look at losses, see below.
Found a fun list of things lost weight is equivalent to. So far I have lost a sperm whales brain (16#), a car tire(20#),10 dozen large eggs(15#),a rack of baby back ribs (2#) and an average human brain (3#), or a total of 56#.
Four more pounds and I can just claim to have lost an elephant's penis (60#)
Let's have fun with our losses. Got this list from my doc's office when I went for pre op teaching.
How much do you want to lose?

Le't see what the site does with that.
