Now you know when you've lost 60lbs what you will be thinking of..

Thanks Scorpiolady, this is really interesting and I am pleased to say I have lost almost a newborn calf! x

Congratulations...I've lost almost a car tyre...just wish it was the spare one round my middle..

heehee- i have this on my facebook profile

past the newborn calf, working towards a horse! haha

Official i've lost a tyre (19.5lbs so far) just wish my spare tyre on my tummy had gone already lol x

I've gained a guinea pig over the festive period

I'm hoping to lose at least a guinea pig tonight at WI.

I need to lose a gold brick!! Lol.

think mines a baby calf / newborn horse ..

what i did is go to google images and search the weight i had lost .. ifor example: 25 pounds and a pic of a toddler, or dog or big fish would be shown, this shocked me and gave me motivation to carry on, because if you can loose the weight of 'twiggy' you can do anything :P

I have just joined a class tonight & bought the 12 week countdown to keep me on track! I have a car tyre to lose which is apt as I am carrying a tyre of baby weight around my belly! Wish me luck! X

I need to lose a Mature Rough Fell Ewe but will settle for losing a chihuahua at the moment

I STS this week so not even the guinea pig for me....oh well next week fingers crossed its a rack of baby back ribs or even an average human brain...lol

haha- nearly lost a whooooole gallon of paint in 2 weeks

Amazing!

Font of all knowledge!!!!!
