  • I've lost the amount of cheese Americans eat in a year.
  • I've lost the chemical additives an average American consumes in a year! Aiming to lose between an automobile tire and a mid-size microwave (total). Cool! Thanks for posting, OP!!

    Thank you for this, I knew about the difference in size/volume of fat and muscle but never actually seen a picture.
    Very enlightening!

    That's an awesome visualization and confirms why strength training is so important, apart from the fact that it feels awesome of course.

    So far, I've lost the amount of pizza an American eats in a year (really? That much? You guys really love your pizza!) and am aiming somewhere between a cinder block and an elephant's heart.

    That is if indeed you lost a pound of FAT only. Which is what I think we all hope for.

    I know that losing weight can feel like an uphill battle. It often feels like trying to build an ocean with an eye dropper. If you, like all of us at one time or another, want to feel better, look how much you actually lost! Look at your accomplishment! Keep on keepin' on! :D

    ! Pound of Fat (This made my day)
