A fun way to visualize what you've lost!

I'm down a sperm whale's brain and a guinea pig. Or a bald eagle and a human's skin. Or almost 4 Chihuahuas!

1 pound = a Guinea Pig
1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs
3 pounds = an average human brain
4 pounds = an ostrich egg
5 pounds = a Chihuahua
6 pounds = a human’s skin
7.5 pounds = an average newborn
8 pounds = a human head
10 pounds= chemical additives an American consumes each year
11 pounds = an average housecat
12 pounds = a Bald Eagle
15 pounds = 10 dozen large eggs
16 pounds = a sperm whale’s brain
20 pounds = an automobile tire
23 pounds = amount of pizza an average American eats in a year
24 pounds = a 3-gallon tub of super premium ice cream
25 pounds = an average 2 year old
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
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
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
80 pounds = the World’s Largest Ball of Tape
90 pounds = a newborn calf
100 pounds = a 2 month old horse
111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year
117 pounds = an average fashion model (and she’s 5’11”)
118 pounds = the complete Encyclopedia Britannica
120 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month
130 pounds = a newborn giraffe
138 pounds = potatoes an average American eats in a year
140 pounds = refined sugar an average American eats in a year
144 pounds = an average adult woman (and she’s 5’4”)
150 pounds = the complete Oxford English Dictionary
187 pounds = an average adult man
200 pounds = 2 Bloodhounds

    First I Lost 25 pounds = an average 2 year old (totally let go of the idea of my school age kid as a baby so yup, true)
    After a long time I gained back 8 pounds = a human head (which is true because I was thinking a lot)
    Recently I noticed I gained more....around... 5 pounds = a Chihuahua (but he was all muscle according to my BMI)
    Lost yesterday 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts (which also seems about right as I lose the rolls around my middle first and they resemble sweet golden donuts you can sink your face in quite a bit.)

    Somewhere I appear to be missing a couple pounds since my ticker does not read 13.5 as this would add up to.

    So there is apparently a 2.5 lbs gain unnaccounted for?

    ETA: I think maybe that guinea pig brought me a box of krispy cremes and I just haven't noticed him in my jeans yet. #richardgere #junkinthetrunk #ew!

    The bartender sets an automobile tyre in front of the guinea pig, and says "hop in and I'll get the flamethrower to make you nice and Krispy."

    Oh, and so far, I'm down an elephant's penis and two ostrich eggs. Before I lost them, I used to place the eggs on either side of the base of the penis, because, y'know… :bigsmile:
