What You have lost.....

.....Or need to lose......

There was a post similar to this before, so sorry if I am duplicating but I find this amusing as a comparison......I need to lose an Irish Setter (or my 11 year old daughter, which has closer perspective for me). How about you?

40 pounds = a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg
44 pounds = an elephant’s heart
50 pounds = a small bale of hay
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
60 pounds = an elephant’s penis (yep, weights more than his heart!)
66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
70 pounds = an Irish Setter
77 pounds = a gold brick
80 pounds = the World’s Largest Ball of Tape
90 pounds = a newborn calf

    A 5-gallon bottle of water, then I'll assess if that's good or not. But that's what my doc says. :drinker:

    I've lost the 5 gallon bottle of water and have a small bale of hay left to go

    Conversely - my total goal loss equals my daughter's weight when I started this madness!

    An air conditioner...I'm kinda wishing I started at a higher weight so I could lose a whole Arnold Schwarzenegger lmfao!

    ETA: My ticker isn't my total weight lost, just when I started on MFP.

    My goal WAS to lose 60lbs until I saw the elephant penis thing :/ now I am re-thinking lol.

    But then again... I would rather LOSE an elephant penis than have an elephant penis worth of extra weight on my body...

    So far I have lost a 5-gallon bottle of water, a rack of baby back ribs, and a small guinea pig. By the time I am done I will have lost an average football lineman and a guinea pig. My goal weight is 145 lb and I started at 446 lb. :smile:
