I have lost about 5 gallons of water.0

So far (before MFP) Ive lost a automobile tire. Now if I could only lose 10 dozen large eggs I will hit my goal!0
-
Of course I see this when I'm at the elephants penis. I don't think I'll be bragging on that just yet!0

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

If you can remember all that to tell someone else.... great0

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!0 -

Hi SodaKat, how are you getting your ticker to show up in your posts? Mine disappeared0

Average newborn. This is funny.0
-
A 2 year old and a chihuahua.0

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.0
-
U will definitely lose an Irish Setter by the year end0
-
These are awesome, keep 'em coming!0
-
Hey, I've moved to The World's Largest Ball of Tape - went right past the gold brick!0
-

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!0

I've now lost this entire list - 86 pounds and counting. What have you lost so far?0 -
Chemical additives, a human head, a brain and a dozen Kristy Kremes. 22.5 pounds, 12.5 with MFP.0

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.0 -

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).0 -
I recently passed the - newborn calf mark - crazy!
Where are you?0 -
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).0

I have lost a midsized microwave!0
