Met a Major Goal

I have lost 100 pounds!


Since November 2009 I have lost the equivalent weight of a two month old horse





or 5 automobile tires or20 chihuahuas



I found this list on the web somewhere. 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 ****a an average American eats in a year

24 pounds = a 3-gallon tub of super premium ice cream

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

At weight Watchers they would tell us that even just a quarter of a pound is a stick of butter. I guess that means that I am now down 400 sticks of butter but that is too much to comprehend. I like thinking of that horse though.



Now I need to give him a name and watch him grow as I shrink.

What do you think I should call my imaginary pony?
