    I've lost half of the world's largest ball of tape. That's interesting.
    2 month old horse thats more depressing then the penis
    You think you're depressed about the penis, try talking to the female elephant.

    Since i started here on Sept. 1st, i've lost between a bald eagle and 10 dozen eggs. Over all, i've lost between a microwave oven and a human leg. I hope to lose an elephant penis (that's what she said) plus a Chihuahua:blushing: .

    I've lost a cinder block and a guinea pig.

    Or, as I noticed recently.. one of those huge "double box" cases of Cat Litter.. those things are massive, and I've lost that weight from my body! Woo Hoo!

    yes -- very FUN way of looking at this

    So far, I too have lost a bald eagle and still would like to loose the amount
    of cheese an american eats in a year

    ... just for the record, I dont eat that much cheese but I probably drink 30 pounds of wine on some
    weekends LOL LOL

    ok, I used to :)

    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.

    24 pounds = a 3-gallon tub of super premium ice cream
    25 pounds = an average 2 year old

    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!

    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
