How about now?...

Just thought this would help keep us in perspective... what your doing is amazing!! Your changing your body and your lives for the better. Your becoming healthier, stronger and more awesome with each step you take and each calorie you burn. Dont compare yourself to others, this is your journey and remember no matter how slow your going, your lapping everyone on the couch (including your old self)

Have a beatiful productive day my friends :-)

Love and Light <3 Bri.

    I think we need to rename a pound of fat a "fistful."

    Yeah.... I lost 10 fistfuls of fat last year. Sounds waaay more hardcore!

    Visual motivation is AWESOME thanks!!

    Also, I feel like we should call it a blob. Or a gobbet. I lost a gobbet of fat last month. Gobbet makes it sound like what it is - gross icky fatness.

    I also think is should be a blob, but the visual imagery is helpful, if a bit off putting ;-)

    This may sound silly but I tend to look at 1 pound of fat as a block of Velveeta cheese. Then I imagine how big the stack is. Always makes me happy :happy:

    See I know a pound of fat is good, but I always look at that picture and think 'yep, i am disappointed still'.:ohwell:

    But that's just me personally.

    It is difficult to feel great about 1lb a week when starting off. Always got that glamorous idea of losing it all within just a month or two..

    So, yeah, I do feel a little BLAH about the 1 pound, but slow and steady... in it for the long haul.
