This is ACTUALLY just 5......but I like to share everytime I hit an additional 5 pounds.
Sometimes we really don't realize the impact that just 5 pounds has on our body....it's a major!!
SO, I'VE LOST **4 of these** as of TODAY!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!...Basically like giving birth to 4 -- 5 pound babies!!!
AMAZING!!! :drinker: :drinker:

You're right, we dont really think about the impact of losing pounds. I think we see down one pound and think because its just ONE pound or two or three that it doesnt make much difference but it does.0

just a replica of a combined amount.....probably from a nutritionist office or something I'd say.0 -
That really puts things into prospective now doesn't it??? ugh!!!0

Here is what just one pound looks like.... YUCK! http://www.anatomical.com/pop_largerview.asp?pn=WA7173&pnm=One+Pound+of+Fat+Replica&img=WA7173.jpg0

Yeah imagine walking around all day carrying 4 sacks of potatoes on your back , Before I started here I lost 98lbs, thats almost the same as carrying my 23 year old daughter around with me all the time...and I wondered why my knees ached lol0 -
Wow! That is great to see! I too have lost 4 of those as of today. Awesome!!0
-
Almost 5 of them gone for me! Yay! The other day I was trying to compare my weight loss to something. Like 5 - 5lb bags of sugar I was carrying around. Hard to imaging carrying that around all day.0
-
It's hard to believe I have lost 9 of those so far in the past year. That's a lot of volume.0
-
Thanks... I don't realize even though I have only lost a little over 6 lbs in 2 months, that picture speaks volumn! Yak!!! Can't wait to get rid of 5 more of those...0
-
Wow....sure does make you think!! I've always compared by lbs. lost to a lb. of butter...i.e. If I've lost 5 lbs for example, I picture 5 lbs of butter stuck to my body that is now gone!!! I guess we all have our own ways of visualizing the weight loss....keep up the good work everyone!!

Your right, you forget how much it really is. Way to go!0
-
Fabulous! I've lost seven of them so far - with about the same amount still to lose xx0
-
Oh gross! That's what I'm carrying around in me? Thanks so much for the pictures!
And, lol! I thought of the baby thing the other day too! I was like "I've lost three 9-pound babies". And 9 pounds is big for a baby!0 -
that is really gross . .. good way to put things in perspective!0

Hammer on the head post. Can't imagine that thing is wrapped under my T Shirt0

Lol i actuallyed used to own a very small pet fat... i think it was the same fat as a chocolate bar would equate to. I kept it and set it out at work to look at (in its little tin) to avoid eating chocolate!
