Well those pictures sure do put things into perspective lol. I can't even imagine 5 gallons of almond butter being carried around every day by us...Anyways you look absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work

I love that comparison. Sometimes I look at stuff that weighs as much as I have lost and I cannot believe I used to carry that weight around. You look great, well done!

I thought a different kind of ‘success story’ might be nice, so here are a few every-day representations of how much weight I’ve shed to date – 40lbs, with some help frm Google and their image search.

5 gallons of Almond Butter:


This beautiful chair:


Large bag of water-softening salt


This super awesome Celestron Telescope


These awesome light fixtures:



Star Dart carnival midway game:


A kindergartener:


Large bag of ax-E-Glo™ Stabilized Rice Bran *horse feed* Dimensions: 24 in × 18 in × 6 in


Giant fish:


Five 8 lb bowling balls:


And last but not least:




Anyway, you get the idea. It’s amazing to thing that I was carrying this much weight on my body CONSTANTLY every single day. How much have you lost? What’s it look like? Feel free to post pictures too!

I love this post! GREAT JOB!!

EXcellent post! You made me laugh!! My favorites are the carp and the kindergardener....so great! And thank you for the great visuals, i've lost 30 pounds altogether--before and during MFP--and those pictures brought it home to me just how much weight that actually is. i think i had developed body-blindness before i decided to start getting healthier, and now that i'm on the road i have a hard time seeing the difference. But it's almost a giant carp or a kindergardener!! LOL!!!! Love your way of looking at things. :happy:

I absolutely LOVE this post!! What a fun idea. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds total, so this gave me even more incentive. I am down 14 lbs so far - I think I need to look for some things that weigh 14 lbs now as a reference.

Thank you so much for the extra motivation! And you look fantastic, by the way! Congrats on all your hard work, it sure is paying off!!

This thread is fantastic! I hadn't thought of comparing it to something. I started googling, turns out I have lost the equivalent of either-

a petrol lawn mower
a large safe
an assisted wheelchair
a large business laser printer

I am blown away- and I know I will carry on with determination and drive!
