    Almost a small bale of hay, since having the baby! 3 gallon tub of ice cream since MFP!

    A few more pounds though and I'll have lost the combined weight of my children...which is scary to think since I sometimes carry them both and it's rough!

    I've lost a sperm whale's brain all together, and a house cat since starting MFP! My boyfriend has lost a microwave!

    This list is awesome.
