Day 429: Who Is Still Fat?

It's been quite a while since I posted about the kitty Weight Loss Challenge, but rest assured that it is still ongoing. I just haven't been weighing in the kitties. We really have only two contestants now, Cocoa and Sam, as everyone else is a delightful weight. Chloe, in fact, got a compliment from the vet last month about how svelte she was now.

I don't think either Cocoa or Sam are ready to be called svelte but they are both looking very good. So how do they weigh in? Here it is:

• Cocoa - 12.2 lbs (starting weight of 17.0/total loss of 4.8lbs)
  Cocoa's lost an additional 0.6lbs from her lightest weight of 12.8, but she's lost twice that since her last weigh in (since she had apparently porked up a bit after that 12.8 weigh in). She's starting to get rid of all the fat around her chest and neck (which is where she carries her extra weight instead of her stomach) so I imagine that she's about half a pound from ideal. (And only 0.2lbs from a full 5lbs weight loss!)
  
• Sam - 18.0 lbs (starting weight of 24.0/total loss of 6.0lbs)
  Wow, check out that total weight loss! No wonder Sam is looking so good nowadays. His back leg is distinguishable from his body and, when he's standing, he has a definite waist! Even his tail looks longer since he's lost the fat rolls on his bottom. He's still got a ways to go and, since he's only lost 0.4lbs since last October, I'm sure it is going to take a while. But after loosing 6lbs, another 4lbs should be cake! (Well, maybe more like a rice cake. It is weight loss, you know.)

So that's where things are now. Pretty good, isn't it? Not bad for 429 days of work!
