    That makes me feel a lot better, actually. I've lost a car tire. 0_0

    Or 22 guinea pigs, which I think is a much more entertaining way to look at it.

    Or two house cats (though only one of the cats we used to have).

    Think how tricky it is to pick up and carry a car tire - well, you ain't carrying that any more! :) Great, isn't it?

    23 pounds = amount of pizza an average American eats in a year

    Or an average housecat (11 lbs) plus a bald eagle (12 lbs)

    Or a human head (8 lbs) plus 10 dozen large eggs (15 lbs)

    Or 2 average newborns (7.5 lbs each) plus a human head (8 lbs)

    Or a sperm whale's brain (16 lbs) plus a chihuahua (5 lbs) plus 2 guinea pigs (1 lb each)

    Man, this is fun! LOL

    I still need to lose another sperm whale's brain plus another guinea pig to get to my goal, for a total of a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg.

    I find it incredibly ironic that I've now lost the equivalent to the amount of pizza Americans eat in a year considering that I WORK at a pizzeria and I don't even eat pizza. Hilarious.

    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

    60 pounds = an elephant’s penis (yep, weights more than his heart!)
    66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
    70 pounds = an Irish Setter
    77 pounds = a gold brick

    Another pound and I'll have lost a cinder block. My goal is somewhere between the worlds largest ball of tape and a newborn calf lol.

    120 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month

    But I guarantee that's not quite accurate for me...my husband and I generate about 2 small bags of trash per month, weighing MAYBE 25 lb. Big recyclers ;-)

    A newborn calf and a bar of gold. . . interesting combination. That is how much I've lost since my highest weight which is not what I use on MFP.

    It also equal to a little more than SIX CINDER BLOCKS used in construction. The thought of carrying 6 cinder blocks stuns me -- and makes me wonder how I ever got around at that weight. Never going back, that's for sure!
