I thought this was an interesting photo. 5lbs of fat vs. 5lbs of muscle. Imagine how much extra space it takes within your body to hold every 5lbs of fat that you have.
I have lost 66lbs so far so 16 (5lb pieces of fat) have gone from my body. When we are over weight we are carrying this around all day.
I thought it was rather interesting to see it in a picture and put it into perspective so I thought I would share!
