    you know while I was out doing C25K W2D3, I was wondering what the amount of weight I lost would look like. Seriously! I was!

    Something my friend did... She lost 50 pounds and her hubby was giving her grief about not having lost more (idiot). She took him to the local feed store and picked up a 50 lb bag of chicken feed. She then tied that 50 lb bag of feed to his back and made him carry it around all day. Suffice to say he was rather tired and sore! He gained an appreciation of what she had been living with in short order. Not another word said as she continued to lose weight and ultimatly lost 85 lbs.

    Ugh!! See it annoys me when people say 'oh, I only lost 2.5 lbs this week' ... that's like half of the 1st pic for goodness sake! And even 1/5th of the first pic (so 1 lb) is better than nothing, yet people still moan! Sorry, rant over! :laugh:

    That's gross. I know when I catch anyone saying, but it's just a pound. I remind them that the butter you buy in the store is "just a pound". Not as gross and it's something everyone has bought at some point.

    This is definitely interesting for the shock value though

    When I get down that I've "only" lost 20 (vs some people who are at 50, 100, etc), I just need to look at that 20. WOW! disgusting. Now wonder I feel so much better!

    LIke previous poster said, I think I need to print that for my fridge! BLECK!

    I'm one of those people that complain that I have only lost 7 pounds in a month...it's annoying...but I'm just really hard on myself. Now after seeing this, I can see why weight loss takes so long! Think of every little fat cell that makes up the 5 pound cluster!! Thanks for this! I needed it!

    ick ick ick. that is gross! i resolve to (1) NEVER complain that I have "only" lost 'x' number of pounds after seeing that and (2) to stay focused and on track to get that gross blob out of my body! I seriously am going to print that picture and post it for when I have weakness! That is just way too gross to imagine!
