    I just read that. Congratulations. I have almost lost 'the fats and oils an average American eats in a year '. Actually that isn't a nice picture - all that oil and fat...

    BTW - you are doing great.

    I'm just starting this journey and am still pre-op... but the mental image of losing 10 dozen large eggs is pretty awesome. :)

    Thanks for posting and congrats to all!

    Apparently I have lost an average American woman, at 5' 4-1/2". If anyone has seen her, please let me know.
