    I laughed out loud at the Welsh Pony.

    However, I have only lost a brain. Which is bad news for a student during finals.

    ****The other day i carried into the house one- 25 lb bag of dog food AND my 25 lb grandson and thought about how hard it was just to function with that much extra weight on me. I have many lbs to go but it does help to realize the progress I have made. Thanks for the reminder.****

    20 pounds = an automobile tire

    yeah, it feels like I lost a tire. in Spanish we call fat rolls "llantas" and that's the word for tires so that makes perfect sense to me.
