    So far (before MFP) Ive lost a automobile tire. Now if I could only lose 10 dozen large eggs I will hit my goal!

    Of course I see this when I'm at the elephants penis. I don't think I'll be bragging on that just yet!

    BRaye325 you could say you've lost 3 automobile tires and a few guinea pigs instead :)

    How about this: a guinea pig, a rack of baby back ribs, a bald eagle, a human head, a 3 gallon tub of ice cream, and 3 Chihuahuas

    I'm down by a sperm whales brain and an ostrich egg!

    (Although, I think that saying I'm down by 5 racks of baby back ribs and 60 Krispy Kreme donuts might be a better representation!)

    Just 1 cinder block, more or less, to go!

    Ten Chihuahuas and a Guinea pig while using MFP; add an ostrich egg and an average human's brain to that to get the total since I started losing.

    I moved on to the fats and oils an average American eats in a year. Better than where I was and I hope to have lost an Irish setter by year end.

    As of today, I have lost an automobile tire. (I lost 10 labs -chemical additives- before joining MFP). Here I was thinking it wasn't all that much but, wow!, a whole tire!

    Chemical additives, a human head, a brain and a dozen Kristy Kremes. 22.5 pounds, 12.5 with MFP.

    2 automobile tires! Which is hard to wrap my head around. I still feel like I am the same size as before even though the mirror, my measurements, and my clothes sizes say differently.

    It's like my brain/self-concept are having a hard time catching up to the weight loss.

    That's the same for me. I was at the grocery store a few weeks ago and someone parked too close to the drivers side of my car. I saw it and thought I'd need to climb across from the passenger side. Being a little annoyed, I tried to see if I could get in. Not only did I fit in on the drivers side, I didn't even need to touch the other car with the door. I was shocked (and kind of happy).

    I recently passed the - newborn calf mark - crazy!

    Where are you?

    This list is so fun! I see I have only lost a smallish newborn...which kind of makes sense since what motivated me to get back to MFP is that I hit the weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant (many years ago).
