I know I have been guilty of this before. Eat healthy and move your butt and see the change in your body.

    Eww! Is that really fat? It is more than I thought (volume wise) if so.

    Yes that is what one pound of fat looks like. You should see the 5 pound pictures.

    Love this.. When you think of 15 or 16 of those 5lb ones... It's just crazy. Gross I still have atleast 10 of those to lose to! X

    Glad you posted this! I've always been very happy to lose a pound in a week but so many people get upset over that kind of loss that sometimes I feel like my expectations are too low! I lost exactly 1 lb this week and felt kinda conflicted- I was so happy I finally lost but also thought "should it have been more?" I feel better now :flowerforyou:

    bumpng to keep this to remind me to stop complaining when it's ONLY a pound. It makes me feel really good knowing I already lost 80 of those pounds and am now on my journey to lose the rest of it. Another 40 hopefully. Oh my! That's gross! I can't believe that crab was in me!!!!!

    Also, pounds add up! I remember going crazy thinking "If I see that number on the scale one more time, I am going to scream!"..that was over twelve pounds ago! It's not like you're going to step on the scale and magically lose twenty pounds in a day, it takes time! :)
