It is hard to imagine the weight one loses because we really can't see the fat. We just know our clothes fit better or we feel better or whatever. Years ago, when I did W.W., our leader did a visual lesson. She had her local butcher (meat counter guy) package up 5 lbs. and 10 lbs. of fat. Talk about a great visual! To actually see what 5 lbs of fat looked like was mind blowing.
I have lost only 6 pounds but I still remember what the 5 lb. package of fat looks like and I know it is a lot! See if you butcher will package some out for you. {Then give it to your friend who makes soap. She can render it down.}
Below is a visual of what 5 lbs of fat and 5 lbs of muscle look like. The next time you think, "I have only lost 5 pounds", go to you local market and ask the butcher to show you 5 lbs. of fat. You'll never say that to yourself again!
