Weight Loss Photo - a fun way to look at it.
How about sometime during December everyone post a photo in this thread of what represents the amount of weight you've lost this year on IP!!! I'll go first.
I've lost this.

My first thought was, since I've lost a gold brick, can I keep it?
But now, I will use this for those nosy questioners "so how much did you lose"?
Now I can say a gold brick! It would seem like a polite way to steer the conversation somewhere else (and probably equals the amount I spent on IP products as well)
Great list.

I have to respond with what I lost only because I have never typed these words before... I have lost a human brain and an elephant's penis.
