    As of today, I have lost an automobile tire. (I lost 10 labs -chemical additives- before joining MFP). Here I was thinking it wasn't all that much but, wow!, a whole tire!

    Here's the chart,

    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

    I've now lost this entire list - 86 pounds and counting. What have you lost so far?

    2 automobile tires! Which is hard to wrap my head around. I still feel like I am the same size as before even though the mirror, my measurements, and my clothes sizes say differently.

    It's like my brain/self-concept are having a hard time catching up to the weight loss.

    That's the same for me. I was at the grocery store a few weeks ago and someone parked too close to the drivers side of my car. I saw it and thought I'd need to climb across from the passenger side. Being a little annoyed, I tried to see if I could get in. Not only did I fit in on the drivers side, I didn't even need to touch the other car with the door. I was shocked (and kind of happy).

    This list is so fun! I see I have only lost a smallish newborn...which kind of makes sense since what motivated me to get back to MFP is that I hit the weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant (many years ago).

    A two month old horse and a sperm whale's brain, though over the course of my life I'm sure I've lost and found a Welsh pony...or two!

    I've lost a chihuahua and a guinea pig. Would love to some day be able to say I lost a cinder block (that would put me at my goal).

    I'm down by 2 automobile tires and a chihuahua!
    I can hardly believe it, it seemed so slow coming off, but then a few months down the road, it has all added up to a lot.

    Let's hear some more! I never get tired of this. :)
