I know that losing weight can feel like an uphill battle. It often feels like trying to build an ocean with an eye dropper. If you, like all of us at one time or another, want to feel better, look how much you actually lost! Look at your accomplishment! Keep on keepin' on! :D

! Pound of Fat (This made my day)

Below: 5 Pounds of Fat next to 5 Pounds of Muscle

And, last, real-life equivalents to what you've lost! :)

Good Luck, Everyone!

    Love it. I'm trying to lose a newborn calf.

    That would be really funny if it wasn't so...not.

    I knew it. Out of all the numbers on the list, mine has to be the "elephant's penis" one. I can't even imagine how big it is as it's not something I see every day.

    Wow! Thanks. Really changes your perspectives... And also shows how you can be smaller but weigh the same when you're losing fat and gaining muscle.

    I think that's like the ones they used to have at Thrifty's way back in the day. I think it's be Rite Aid now. Where you can buy the ice cream by the scoop....or three.

    So far I've lost a cinder block and I'm going to throw a party the day I lose an elephant's penis, just because it's funny. And, you know, because it's a pretty decent accomplishment in its own right.

    I love this! So far I've lost a car tire! It's sort of neat to see what you've lost compared to real world objects.

    Also blows my mind I quite literally just lost the weight of a spare tire.

    I've lost an average human leg!
    Next two goals are and irish setter and a two month old horse.
    Final goal: average woman (although I knew that anyway as I aim to half my SW)

    Nice to have something to visualise!
