    Since joining MFP, I've lost a little more than an Irish Setter and not quite a gold brick. Since my very heaviest weight, the day I gave birth to my last child, who is now 16 years old, I've lost the equivalent of a 2 month old horse and the average human brain. No wonder I can't seem to think straight! :laugh:

    Feeling like a loser with all the work TinaBaily did but I'll play... I lost the weight of my fat moose cat Butter (should never have named him that he takes fat much too seriously).

    The equivalent of my best friend....I told her if I start gaining the weight back, I need to give her a piggy back ride to remember what it was like so I get my butt back in gear.

    Awesome! Now that would be a workout buddy for sure!

    Around this:
    117 pounds = an average fashion model (and she’s 5’11”)

    or this:
    118 pounds = the complete Encyclopedia Britannica

    or this:
    120 pounds = amount of trash you throw away in a month

    Just depends on the day. Today I'm at the middle one.

    But I'm trying to get to this one:
    150 pounds = the complete Oxford English Dictionary

    or that and an extra 10.

    I've only lost one shih-tzu/chihuahua mix so far (5 lbs of fluff and bones) but I'm aiming for one shih-tzu/chihuahua and one pomeranian/miniature pinscher mix (15 total lbs of fluff, bones, and bark).
