I've lost a lot of things...my car keys...my purse....some days my mind. But now? I've lost a kayak.

Thats right....a kayak....and I couldn't be happier.

I work in the outdoor sporting goods industry - so...I took this pic a few weeks ago, at the 40lbs lost mark...which happens to be a pound more than the catalog weight of this Old Town Heron. In fact....now that I've lost this kayak, I can fit inside of it!

Since this picture was taken....I've also lost the paddle to go with it :) Now, I've still got a bit to go...at least a trolling motor. And maybe a scuba tank. I can do this....and so can you.

    I love this!!
    That is so brilliant when you can put it into perspective like that. I always love to search for an item that resembles the weight gone!
    I've never heard of a kayak though! gold!

    Keep up the great work xx

    OMG THAT IS HILARIOUS!!! It would totally rock when this is all done if I've lost my 12 year old!!
