    From what I've lost before starting MFP and what I lost using MFP, I've lost just shy of a cinder block (32 lbs).

    This is a great post. The best way I can explain my loss is to share this excerpt from my profile. It started out as my signature, but as you can see, eventually got too long, so here goes:

    "Started April 13, 2009
    12 lbs. Gone in first month
    6/6/9..18 lbs. lost = one "Pepper" (my Shih tzu)
    DOWN 25 lbs. by 4th of July/Actual 23 lbs. gone
    8/2/9..28 lbs. lost = one "Mai Li" (my Lhasa)
    8/8/9..Down the BIG THREE OH!!!(30 lbs. gone)
    9/13/9..37 lbs lost = TWO "Peppers"
    10/12/9..Down the BIG FOUR OH!!(40 lbs. gone)
    11/2/9 Down 43 lbs. = One "Mai Li"* & One "Pepper"(*Mai Li lost 3 lbs.)
    11/10/9 -Entered land of ONE-derful Ones!!
    12/8..Down the BIG FIVE OH!! (Two "Peppers" & 1 "Bradley"(Yorkie)
    DOWN 60 lbs. by Christmas Day!! Held at 50 lbs instead :(
    7/29/10..Down 60 lbs.= 1 ea, Mai Li, Pepper, and Bradley!!"

    My eventual goal is to lose TWO Each, of Mai Li, Pepper, and Bradley = 120 lbs. and maybe a Chihuahua, for a total of 125 lbs.

    Something tells me I may have to be satisfied with one two month old horse and an average house cat --111 lbs.

    I've lost 10 dozen large eggs but I still need to lose a 2 year old (although my child has weighed 33lbs since he was 18 months old and he still isn't 2 till October)
  • I lost a rack of baby back ribs! Now I need to get rid of that elephant ear. Cute post thanks.

    "8 pounds = a human head"

    Well, that explains why I feel like I've lost my mind! :laugh:

    Let's see... I lost an Elephants penis about 8 years ago (it was possibly an Irish Setter, but can't remember exactly!), gained back a Bald Eagle, lost a head, gained a head, lost my head again (all sometime in the last 5 years), gained a 2 year old about 2 years ago and proceeded to have lost the cat in the last 9 months... Now if I can only lose my head (yet again) I'll be fine :tongue:

    I've lost a newborn calf, but one of my friends told me I've lost an Olympic gymnast and I think that sounds bigger (even though they're pretty tiny). I'm hoping for a small fashion model. Thanks for posting this great list! :laugh:
