My Holland giant measured in tonight at 93 circ., 63 top/botton, and 62 1/2 side/side. It is getting hard to measure since I cannot see both sides when I measure. It is easy for the tape to twist. I have a total OTT of 218.5 inches which is an increase of 5.5 inches since Friday night. According to the chart, I am currently at 240 lbs.

It is catch-22. My first goal is to keep my pumpkin alive, but I would love to break 300 lbs. I just get nervous since my pumpkin is developing some stress cracks at the top. They are healing over, but I would feel better if I did not have them.

But a fifteen pound gain in three days tells me that my pumpkin is really slowing down which helps with the cracks but not the total weight.
