I did something similar..... I was bitching about "only 45 lbs" and couldn't tell. My hubby got ticked, took me out to the garage to the weight equipment, handed me 2 20lb weights. And said, THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE CARRYING AROUND!! Hit home.

I picked up a 22 pound bag of chicken feed at the grocery store and walked up and down the aisle with it. Pretty impressive, since I have lost around 28 pounds. No wonder I trudged up the steps!! Another 50 pound loss and I'll be floating!!!

I like seeing how much less space the muscle takes up. That's encouraging. Fat loss = inches gone. Yippee!!

I once went to a weight loss center ... and they had a replica of fat like this it was so nasty looking!!!!! The muscle definatly looks more healthy!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

That was a cool pitcher,however, I just turn my computer on and look at my 310 pound pitcher and that scare's me enough.........hehe.

I absolutely LOVE this picture. Look at the difference in size! Just looking at the fat makes me hurt. It looks gross and so uncomfortable, doesn't it? Yuck! And the lean muscle... that represents no more pain, self confidence, strength, and life! Hope you don't mind but I touched up the pic a bit with my thoughts on this.
