How much weight have YOU lost?

Options
It's always compare your weight loss to random things, so I thought this would be lots of fun : ) I've lost close to 40lbs now so I'm not too far away from the 111lbs comparison, which is the amount of red meat an average American eats in a year :) I'm aiming to lose 100lbs in total, which would mean I would have lost the equivilant weight of a baby horse :P

Have fun :)

    I started on the 31st. I cant wait to lose a whole elephant penis. Consider me jealous for the first time in my life, that someone lost a penis.

    A sperm whale's brain...

    It is so hard to visualize that. Once I get to an average car tire, I'll feel a little bit better.
