There was too much to go thru when I tried to search and see if this has been posted before so I decided to post anyway. I wanted to have an idea of exactly how big 1lb of human fat is. I dug around on google and found this picture. It makes me appreciate losing 1lb.

haha :P I remember when I started at Herbal Magic, they showed me what 5 pounds of fat looked like. I got to hold it and look at it, and that's really what sticks in my mind everytime I think about it.

1lb of fat is equal to 3500calories

Thanks for posting! that really is disgusting!

I remember a long time ago doing weight watchers, and every quarter pound was a stick of butter. Now, I just imagine all of those sticks as I'm running on the treadmill!!!!!

Great (but kinda gross) post! That definitely helps motivate. I've been thinking about trying to find one of those plastic fat models on the 'net - maybe put it on the coffee table to impress guests.
