Milestones

Our precious little FattyFatOff has turned 11!  Which of course means that she is now a tween and we can expect lots of whining and moodswings in the weeks to come. Whether that is from her age or from the contestants' lack of food remains to be seen.

We have another milestone to celebrate today, as we have just confirmed that a FFO record has been broken! Current leader and reigning King Fatty, Brendon, has dropped a whopping 24 pounds in just the first week! The previous record was held by another former champion Fatty, Travis at 21.5 pounds in 2010. For comparison, here are some things that weigh 24 pounds:

25 cans of assorted fruits and vegetables

 5 reams of paper

Keep up the good work everyone. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint!
