  • I laughed out loud at the Welsh Pony.

    ****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.
  • I've lost a small bale of hay and a Chihuahua :happy:I will eventually say I've lost an elephant's penis:laugh:

    I've dropped a newborn calf and a chihuahua. By the next time I weight myself, I expect I will have lost a newborn calf (thank you, Insanity).

    So far, I've lost about a newborn calf. However, I have 187 pounds I would like to lose, in case anyone is interested in picking him up at my place.
