So if i lose my goal weight of about 75 lbs, does that mean it will magically appear as a gold bar? Cause I could really use a gold bar...

I tell people I've lost my 10 year old DD! Sounds better that the amount of red meat the average American eats in a year (yech)

I've also lost a cinder block, and aiming for an Irish Setter (but may be the world's largest ball of tape!)

I feel for the person who has lost an elephant's nether regions. LOL

15 pounds - also a decent size turkey! Feel like I've eaten about that much turkey on this trip, too!
