(10) dozen large eggs

(4) dozen Krispy kreme glazed donuts

(2) Chihuahuas

(2) Guinea pigs

****lephants penis

(1) average 2 yr old

(1) human head

(1) rack baby back ribs

No matter how many times it's posted, I always get a kick out of it.

This time I'll add my own. I was trying to explain to my boyfriend the other day what losing 170 pounds looks like. So we weighed him - 165 pounds. Then I had him hold onto a 5 pound bag of red potatoes. He was a little speechless, not gonna lie.

So, I have lost:

(1) Andrew holding a 5 pound bag of potatoes.

lol

and that's what it's all about, having humour and making it last~!

Love this!  I've Lost:

1.5 lbs = a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts

11 lbs = an average housecat

20 lbs = a car tire

24 lbs – a 3 gallon tub of super premium ice cream

55 lbs a 5000 BTU air conditioner

60 lbs = an elephant’s penis

 Or 1 Andrew holding a 5lb bag of potatoes :)

Haha! Good for you :)

I can't wait to tell my 18 and 20 year old sons that I have lost an elephant's penis. The 20 year old will think it's a riot, the 18 year old will probably blush and my poor hubby will just shake his head... again :)

Thanks for sharing this!  

Karen M.---You are hilarious!

How fitting. I originally lost 140 lb of sugar. My nemesis. Now if I could just lose my head I would have gotten rid of the bounce back!

Oh, I lost my head long ago.

;)

Edited to add: Oh. Maybe it was just my mind.
