I am currently 160 + down from my highest weight (562.3) after having gained back from my goal weight after keeping it off for 7 years. I am back at it and I have lost 14 lbs. I used to always think of weight loss in lots of 25. We owned a snoball stand and I used to have to haul 25 lbs bags of sugar. A lot of them. 
When I had reached my goal weight before - I got down to 210, I would imagine trying to walk with 7 of those bags on each shoulder. All day, everyday. My weight today is 400. I can't even imagine trying to put that 150 lbs on my shoulders and carrying it around all day.
If you have less to use than I do - use something smaller - say a 10 lbs bag of something. I always got a kick out of thinking about it that way.
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!

I used my daughter as a unit of measurement for comparisons. She's six and about 65 lbs. I've lost 91 or so now, I can't imagine carrying her around (and then some) all day long.2

I always think of a pound as four sticks of butter...now wouldn’t those sticks look funny popping out of different spots on your body?1

Those are all cool. I think it is kind of fun to visualize it in someway.1

I just read online that a standard red brick weighs about 5 lbs. I've lost 18 bricks so far and when I hit my goal (-200 lbs) I'll have lost 40 of them.2 -

I am about to carry a scale out to the trash can if it doesnt start acting correctly again soon.6

According to my scale I have lost 8 bricks, according to my spreadsheet I should be in between 9 and 10. I want them dang bricks!2

Here's some perspective. I've lost (overall) 90 lbs. That's a newborn calf!

Thankfully you look a bit happier in your photos than the calf! 2

I have lost 23,608 nickels.
If you are in the US and ever want to check your food scale the nickel weighs 5 grams.
