20, 5, and 6 in 4.

20 Pounds
That is what my supposed Bernese Mountain Dog mix weighs at 5 months. I'm thinking he's either a REALLY late bloomer, or there is more mix than Berner. And just my luck, based on his size, shape, coloring, and energy level, I think the mix is Australian Shepherd. Great - two hyper herding dogs in a house with cats and kids. RPG RBG should be able to publish his "Chaos Theory of Life, a Case Study" by summer, and have plenty of material left for a sequel or four. I want 10% 5% of your royalties, dude.

5 pounds
That is how much overweight my German Shepherd mix is at 2 and a half years. We had been feeding her puppy food for a couple weeks since we had trouble finding her regular food, and it was easier to just feed them both from the same bag. That will have to stop, and she needs to lay off the cat food too. I guess the walks are about both of us now, huh sweetie?

6 pounds in 4 weeks
My short term goal. I'm down 4 pounds in 3 weeks, and I'd like to make it 6 by next week. I'll be doing a TON of walking at the Renaissance Faire this weekend, so I think this is doable. I think I'd be closer to that now, but I found some leftover Easter candy last night. Darn chocolate coins, why did you have to be so creamy and yummy? I'm definitely improving - I didn't eat the whole bag, just a few for a treat. Plus, clothes add a pound or two right?

10%? Considering you typed "RPG" instead of "RBG" I'm not sure I can agree to anything more than 3%. I'll see what my lawyer has to say :)

- RBG

Great goal in the 6 in 4. Average loss can be about 1.5 lbs per week so you'd be perfectly on target :) Have fun at the faire!

Way to go on the 4 pounds! (And what a fun post - very creative.)

You have a Bernese Mini Dog! I found forgotten candy too - 2 partly eaten bags of salt water taffy. Mmmm... I'm just drooling thinking about it :)
