I am the same about junk food. My OH gets dark chocolate and ready salted crisps as I don't like those so am not tempted.
There is a list going round the internet you can compare weights too - it's a little odd mind. I've pasted it below. Hopefully we will be at a welsh pony in no time
0.5 pound = pack of butter
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 house cat
12 pounds = a Bald Eagle
15 pounds = 10 dozen large eggs
16 pounds = a sperm whale’s brain

23 pounds = amount of pizza 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
111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year
117 pounds = an average fashion model (and she’s 5’11”)
118 pounds = the complete Encyclopedia Britannica
120 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month
130 pounds = a newborn giraffe
138 pounds = potatoes an average American eats in a year
140 pounds = refined sugar an average American eats in a year

When we all achieve our targets this year we will have lost 3090 pounds
That's 13 Arnolds or 8 Welsh ponies - That will be absolutely amazing .. might even make the papers put that way
Maybe we can count down in those currencies - Arnolds or Ponies or the like - our secret language lol xx

Seems like I need to loose Arnie and a tyre in total. Won't all be this year, be nice if it was but that's really unrealistic. 10 stones isn't that unrealistic if I remain focused at it, with all your lovely support
cmcewn, great loss 8lbs gone. My son weighed 7lbs 12oz when he was born, so you already lost a newborn him!

Thanks Gamy - I am going to take it one stone at a time that way it doesn't seem quite so daunting. Baby steps ...
I am definately going to have to get more organised on the food front. Last night I was exhausted when I got home from work and making dinner was a real chore. So this morning I put a beef stew in the slow cooker so at least our meal will be ready tonight when we get home. I also need to be bringing some kind of lunch to work. I get my hubby's lunch sandwiches ready for him when I get up at 5 am but never do anything for myself - so I don't eat all day. So, one of my jobs is to get myself sorted on that front.
Let's hear from all you ladies, don't be shy now - all friends here ... it's good to keep in touch so we can help each other along. :grouphugg:
