It sounds sooo wrong to say I've lost an elephant's penis and a newborn. Ewww!

LOL Niko, that was MY exact thoughts! ;-)

I think I won't give equivalents until I lose 3 more pounds and get to "Irish Setter" status . . .

10 pounds= chemical additives an American consumes each year

138 pounds = potatoes an average American eats in a year
140 pounds = refined sugar an average American eats in a year
Interesting info in that list. Some of them are pretty shocking too. Above are some of the things that change when following Atkins correctly.

For instance, I've been eating whole foods as much as I can for over a year. That + Atkins definitely changes those statistics:

very little = chemical additives consumed in a year
25 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month
2 small = potatoes in a year
8 oz. = refined sugar in a year (estimate on the amount of sugar in mayo and ranch dressing over one year)

That's a HUGE difference! And "they" say this WOE is bad.

I love hearing everyone's accomplishments! Sorry for the elephant one...little odd and not something you really want to picture...maybe add up the number of tires and other smaller things to get the picture instead.

Elizellen - Thanks for calling me K. It's what all my friends call me!

Mizski - I love your observations here...makes you feel a million times healthier.

I imagine 25 guinea pigs would be tough to carry around too...all the wiggling I can't WAIT to say I've lost that many!
