I've lost 4.6 lbs so far. Now once I hit 5lbs.. so see my progress.. I was thinking about picking up a 5lb tube of hamburger... so I can see how much i lost..

is that a good comparison?

I was hoping it would keep me going

    I think 5 lbs of LARD and pile it on a plate. I bet that would be a REAL visual for you. Five lbs of hamburger makes me think of making meatballs or something, just sayin.

    I can actually get lard? lol no it wouldn't make me think about making meatballs.. I still use and eat hamburger..but I make sure I don't go over serving ect..

    google "5lbs of fat" and look at the images. There is replica of actual fat that you can see... people holding them; side by side with 5 lbs of muscle... it's awesome and will help you visualize!
