    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:
