    Well those pictures sure do put things into perspective lol. I can't even imagine 5 gallons of almond butter being carried around every day by us...Anyways you look absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work :)

    I love that comparison. Sometimes I look at stuff that weighs as much as I have lost and I cannot believe I used to carry that weight around. You look great, well done!

    I thought a different kind of ‘success story’ might be nice, so here are a few every-day representations of how much weight I’ve shed to date – 40lbs, with some help frm Google and their image search.

    5 gallons of Almond Butter:

    Anyway, you get the idea. It’s amazing to thing that I was carrying this much weight on my body CONSTANTLY every single day. How much have you lost? What’s it look like? Feel free to post pictures too!

    I love this post! GREAT JOB!! :smile:

    EXcellent post! You made me laugh!! My favorites are the carp and the kindergardener....so great! And thank you for the great visuals, i've lost 30 pounds altogether--before and during MFP--and those pictures brought it home to me just how much weight that actually is. i think i had developed body-blindness before i decided to start getting healthier, and now that i'm on the road i have a hard time seeing the difference. But it's almost a giant carp or a kindergardener!! LOL!!!! Love your way of looking at things. :happy:

    I absolutely LOVE this post!! What a fun idea. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds total, so this gave me even more incentive. I am down 14 lbs so far - I think I need to look for some things that weigh 14 lbs now as a reference. :smile:

    Thank you so much for the extra motivation! And you look fantastic, by the way! Congrats on all your hard work, it sure is paying off!!

    This thread is fantastic! I hadn't thought of comparing it to something. I started googling, turns out I have lost the equivalent of either-

    a petrol lawn mower
    a large safe
    an assisted wheelchair
    a large business laser printer

    I am blown away- and I know I will carry on with determination and drive!
