This is what 5 pounds of fat looks like

I googled images for "five pounds of fat" and found numerous photos containing a replicated model of what a five pound lump of fat looks like. I posted a link to one of the images.

Wow. To think I use to carry 10 of those under my skin. Now...just about 2.

That is some nastiness, I can't wait until I'm rid of as much of that on my body as is healthy.

It's crazy to lift weights and think of all that off me too. Actually, and sadly, I can't lift as much weight as I've lost.

Yikes!

oh gross!

Ive tagged this for when I want to eat fattty foods.

that's so awful!!!

That's pretty disgusting... A real wake-up call for some I'm sure.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, i actually carried around more than that just a few months ago but i have lost it!! THanks for posting this it will help me when i want to binge!!

Clarice

That's exactly what I'm trying to get rid of! I'm heading to the gym!!

I'd love to think that the guy is the world's smallest man, but somehow I don't think that's the case :)

Ick. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite pick (which I don't have the link to) is a photo of one pound of fat next to one lb of lean muscle. Wow! So different! The muscle is sooo much smaller.

oops, double post.

The gym that I used to go to had on the front desk, a 1 lb model of fat and a 1 lb model of muscle.  The Muscle is SO much smaller and prettier than the fat.  I loved that... I need to get those for home.. to go in the home gym and the kitchen!!!

You can even buy a 1 pound or 5 pound of blob called "my pet fat" for motivation: http://www.mypetfat.com/thetools.asp

 Ha... that would definitely be motivational!  Not sure I would pay $46 or $150 for it though. 

ohhh that is just GROSS!! ewww to think we have that much in us, i have about 5 of those i want to lose then lol OMG gross!!! That is my motivation to lose it, it's ugly!

I'm sort of shocked that everyone is so disgusted by the sight of fat. We actually need fat for several reasons. Of course, the problem is that most of us have too much fat, lol.

It's just some tissue, geez... It's not like it's a picture of some slaughterhouse...
