Apparently, I've lost a koala! I had no idea previously how much they weighed. ;-)

I've lost a car tyre.

I have smaller size clothes (that are too big) and have had a few comments but I don't see any difference really, despite knowing I've lost (I measured myself). So, I totally get what you're saying, Sarah.

 

[m-mouse]

a microwave oven for me!

a microwave oven for me!

Well, that's a lot more useful than a koala. (Not as cute, though! )

 

[alottolose]

it's getting annoying now...too small for 14's and too big for 12s...so squeeze into 12s or look baggy arsed in the 14s meh! x

Needed to resurrect this post as I find it interesting to visualise weight, as we all lose so gradually, we unfortunately don't get to see the major effect of the weightloss like perhaps a friend you've not see in a while or a family member would

So far I've lost a tire, which actually seems about right, as I was looking about 3 months pregnant and now I've a waist again ....I'm aiming for losing a leg x

 

[SilverSilph]

I love this thread! It's awesome!

Nearly a tyre for me!

I can tell you my guinea pig weighs more than 1lb! Maybe I could put her on a diet
