Wanna see five pounds of fat?

[ZerasPride]

The following link will take you to a picture of five pounds of fat next to five pounds of muscle. It's an interesting visual and perfect for those times when you are losing inches but not seeing a change in your weight on the scale. This really helps me to understand the process better.

That fat looks so disgusting. I would much rather have the muscle. It is a great reminder for when you lose inches but the scale won't budge.

Great visual and great link. It really helps to put things in perspective especially since I am getting smaller and not seeing much movement no the scale lately. Thanks so much for posting this.

Ewwwww , fat is gross. I was contemplating skipping my exercise today, but now I'm going to make it a point to get moving!

That explains a lot! I'm with Cindy, I'm about to pop in that excercise video.
Thanks for the link, I poked around the site too, it's pretty good.

Thanks for posting that very interesting site. It really helps to put things in perspective when the scale doesn't move in the right direction but your clothes look and feel better on you. It really motivates a person to get up and exercise!

Wow!! That really hits home!! I'm saving that link and everytime I get the urge to skip exercising, I'm gonna look at that. Thanks for posting!

I just think, keep losing that fat and turn it into muscle. That'l really help you look slimmer.
