Wow, great list! Today the scale read 278, which brings my tally to 37 lbs - the equivalent of a mid-sized microwave. Of course, this is too funny because I just BOUGHT a microwave a few weeks a go. LOL.

I'm hoping to lose the World's Largest Ball of Tape to become a newborn giraffe, but so far have only lost a human head and a guinea pig. Hopefuly at tomorrow's weigh-in I'll be up to an average housecat.

Oooh, nice one!

By Christmas I'd lost the World’s Largest Ball of Tape but I've put on a bit so my total loss at the moment is somewhere between an Irish Setter and a gold brick. I'm aiming at losing around a newborn calf in total - to make me around the complete Oxford English Dictionary.
