Hi Kim,

Yes, it is a bit of a shock to see a pound of fat depicted isn't it. Your photo shows that really well.

I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to also link to a previous post, on the same subject, as LessToLose also did a great post showing the difference between fat and other things, so if you would like to see more pictures, then her post is here:

She's showing 5 pounds of fat versus 5 pounds of muscle - it shows how the body size and shape would change as we lost fat and gain some muscle.

Therefore, it's not all about the scales, but how we look and feel.

Hope you have a great week.

Lowcal :-)

Yes not a problem everything helps and thank you for your response

Wow Freya your so right we do become flippant when we say "only lost a pound.

Can't wait to see what 5 pounds look like.

Thank you☺

the small one is the 1pound the large one is the 5 pound ?
