  • I have almost lost the amount of weight I apparently have eaten in potatoes this past year!!

    Damn, if I could just lay off the chips and fries I would weigh nothing!!!
  • An Elephant's penis! Oh my! Oh wait, I put 10lbs back on! That's not as exciting, just a small bale of hay! Or 50 guinea pigs WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
  • Wow, great list! Today the scale read 278, which brings my tally to 37 lbs - the equivalent of a mid-sized microwave. Of course, this is too funny because I just BOUGHT a microwave a few weeks a go. LOL.
  • lol, I love this one. I've lost just a couple of pounds more than a bald eagle
  • LOL what a fantastic thread.. I'm just starting my "lifestyle change" and so i'll be keeping you all updated!.... I hope.
  • ive lost the equivalent of a small bale of hay + rack of baby back ribs =52 lbs.
    really makes you think how much you`ve been carrying around. i usually think in terms of bags of sugar or tubs of flora! mad
  • Too funny!! I've lost just over the average 2 year-old Scary thought!
  • A bit more than a 2 month old horse
  • I'm between an Irish Setter and a gold brick.
  • An elephants heart and the rack of ribs
  • I think you would notice if you lost an elephants penis!
  • Not so sure. Last time lost 13st of bloke I didn't notice for ages....

    P.S: Am somewhere between a microwave and a leg....
  • I'm hoping to lose the World's Largest Ball of Tape to become a newborn giraffe, but so far have only lost a human head and a guinea pig. Hopefuly at tomorrow's weigh-in I'll be up to an average housecat.
  • Oooh, nice one!

    By Christmas I'd lost the World’s Largest Ball of Tape but I've put on a bit so my total loss at the moment is somewhere between an Irish Setter and a gold brick. I'm aiming at losing around a newborn calf in total - to make me around the complete Oxford English Dictionary.
