    Holy Moses!! No wonder elephants mate for life:noway:
    I was feeling kind of weird/down about my weight loss. A lot of people's tickers said over 20 pounds lost or something equally if not more amazing. And I felt like my weight was coming off so S.L.O.W.L.Y.... But I found this list and it made me feel better! Maybe it can help others too! I have lost 12 pounds! Or a Bald Eagle. I was pretty happy with that.

    OHMIGOSH! I love this! Thank you! I'm somewhere between the tire and the pile of a years worth of a persons consumption of pizza! That really puts it into perspective. However, I don't think they've seen just HOW much I LOVE PIZZA! Hence, why I still need to lose 40-60#!

    Smile, it's infectious!

    Thank you for sharing!

    So, I've nearly lost a human leg (thankfully, just the weight, not the item...), and I have an elephant's heart left to go!

    This is fabulous! Weight loss is much more fun when you think of it this way!

    I don't think you should be down about losing 12lbs that is enormous. Congratulations x Oh and I seem to lose weight slowly too, just be happy it is going in the right direction and enjoy the journey, good luck! x
