Things I have lost

Found a fun list of things lost weight is equivalent to.  So far I have lost a sperm whales brain (16#), a car tire(20#),10 dozen large eggs(15#),a rack of baby back ribs (2#) and an average human brain (3#), or a total of 56#.

Four more pounds and I can just claim to have lost an elephant's penis (60#)

Let's have fun with our losses.  Can't wait to see what Tuesday brings.

Have a great night, catch you all in the am.  Hugs, Kathy

Are you kidding? 56 lbs. no way. how many days has it been. sounds like too much too fast. how do you feel. I am getting both excited and nervous at the same time. I really dont want to lose too fast it will panic my family and maybe even me. I would like to stop taking blood sugar meds. and get my numbers down around 100 for a while. they have been so high this year my feet burn and hurt all the time so i am looking forward to that. Congrats on the weight loss, take good care, and God Bless you.

Hi Mendy, this includes the 44# lost before surgery.  Lost is lost.  Gained 15# in water weight with surgery, lost that plus 12 more in the last 12 days.

I am so glad the water weight finally shifted on out.  I feel great.  Hugs, Kathy

kathy, you are a riot. i will have to think about this. give me until tomorrow. vick

i know, i have lost two whale penises 120#, five racks of baby back ribs 10# and an average size human brain 3#(almost).. i must say, getting those two penises off my back were the most uplifting. lol  vick

Knew you could do it Vick.  Thanks for sharing.  Hugs, Kathy

Oh Kathy, you're a hoot.  What I want to know is HOW do you know how much an elephant's penis weighs.   And if it weighs 60 lbs, how big are his feet?
