  2. Well, I had lost a bald eagle, but packed on a rack of baby back ribs on vacation. So I have only lost the amount of chemical additives that each American consumes in a year.

  8. 80 pounds = the World's Largest Ball of Tape

    And still more to go! I am looking at 160 for my goal weight even though the dr. is saying 130. I started at 336 (yep another 330 lady), 5' 1/2". I now am at 254. However, I had gastric bypass. Not the loser's way out, just a tool to get me there. I have lost and found the same pounds for YEARS. After almost a year of doctor-supervised weight loss plan, it was time to go for the gold. I had my surgery in October 2009.
