Hey - I weigh less than Arnold Schwarzenegger now!

Back when I was just over 80lbs lost, my best friends wife made a comment about haw she had struggled getting two 40lb bags of fertilizer to her car that day and compared my weight lost to the equivalent of two bags of Sh*t! I thought it was a pretty good reference... At 3 bags lost and still going!

I lost an elephants penis = 60 lbs LOL

An elephant's penis, a bale of hay and half my brain (or an average sized human brain!)
