Just don't let it turn into an elephant's penis or an Irish setter or something and you'll be alright! :D And here's my confession . . . I've lost a two month old horse this year. Giddyup Lisa That's amazing!! Congrats!!!! I've lost a sperm whale's brain (16lbs). I only have a chihuahua (5lbs) to go but my body is being stubborn and I haven't really lost any weight in a month.

I have lost a leg! 40 pounds = a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg Congrats on the missing leg! (LOL) I've lost an average 2 year old since this summer....but I have lost 3 average 2 year olds in all Congrats to you Nance...Keep up the good work. YOU ROCK!!!! Faithe That's fantastic!

Thank you. :) I'm pretty much always the one behind the camera...I normally hate having pictures taken of myself, I hate the way I come out in almost all of them and being self-conscious about my weight doesn't help, but the microwave thing was too fun to pass up! congrats. I'm at the Bald Eagle. I have more to lose too Congrats on the Bald Eagle and good luck with your future goals! Feel free to come join us in the weight loss challenge social group if you'd like!

mothergooseof4 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I lost 10 dozen eggs about a year ago and would like to lose a chihuahua on top of that, but wow is that little guy hard to lose. At least the eggs haven't found their way back. And Nance, I am kind of scared of the pic that will be coming when you reach your goal! Don't know how the elephant is going to feel about that.
