Ha, that's a clever list! I've lost 15 pounds, but I don't find 15's listing as entertaining , so I'm gonna mix and match the other weights.

I've lost a human brain (3 pounds) - I often feel like I have
and a bald eagle (12 pounds).

Thanks for posting that, Kat. Your loss combination made me laugh, love the Guinea pig thrown in.
