I still need to get rid of a tyre (both weight wise and the "spare" around my waist

[MercuryRising]

A mid-size microwave - thinking about it like that makes me realise how much extra weight I am carrying

[fieldfare]

An Irish Setter would take me down to my 'ideal weight'. I'm going to have a bloody good crack at it too as my best mate turns 40 in September and I won't be the fat mate in the pictures.

[newrecruit]

Oh Christ I need to lose my own leg!

[MinionDave]

I need to lose a tyre too!

[DesertIslandPenguin]

I need to lose a 2 month old horse, but I'll settle for a hay bale.

[Jojo109]

Irish setter for me =( I want to lose 4 stone by the end of June

[fieldfare]

Have started off well by menu planning and being strict whilst shopping.
I watched the Hairy Bikers diet programme this morning and there are a couple of really tasty dishes I'll be cooking. Am planning on trying to stick to a 1400cal a day allowance.

[kate1516]

Ideally a Microwave for me but would be happy with the amount of cheese an American eats in a year. Mmm cheese - that may have just scuppered todays diet plans :-)

[TheSpottedZebra]

Ooh, I've lost a tire since the summer! I still want to lose about another head.

[LeapingOverTheWall]

If I lost a microwave I'd only just be in the middle of my BMI range .

[TheWhispersOfTheGods]

I need to lose 10 dozen eggs.
I want to lose the average pizza consumption
I am trying to lose the average cheese consumption.

[Octopus37]

A bald eagle would be fab

[speedbird17]

An air conditioning unit and a guinea pig!!

But can't start until I have DS in May!!

[ItsaTenfromDen]

a human leg, might be easier to chop one off.
