I usually visualize my weight loss in # of cans of Crisco. Each can is 3lbs. If an Irish Setter is 60 pounds then you lost 20 cans of Crisco. Next time you are in the store make a pyramid out of 20 cans. Fat has less density than water and a lot density than muscle, so the mass of a can of Crisco will be closer to what you lost in mass.

44 pounds which is equivalent to an elephant’s heart is what I've lost as of today.

HaHa Shelly, that was the first thing I thought....I immediately thought of my gain and looked to see, a chihuahua for me too!

I lost a 2 yr old with a cinder block. That's why no one asks me to babysit.

I have lost a spare tire! Now I just need to lose that 5 pound Maltese. (They are much sweeter and cuddly than chihuahuas - I just got bit by one the other day!)

Thanks for sharing this fun chart. So now I will envision the Guinea pig I gained this morning and try to avoid it turning into a box of Krispey Kremes.

yep and the chart goes as far as 400 lbs, which is a Welsh Pony! Just thought it was a cute and telling chart. Saw it a few months ago here on FS and kept it. :)

Today - I was thinking about granny's fun comparison chart & thought it would be interesting to see a "food" or "animals" or "things" comparison. So actually during my google search I learned the average ostrich egg weighs 2.5 lbs not 4 pounds, therefore I actually need to lose about 9 Guinea pigs or 85 mice or 20 rolls of toilet paper or 1,500 paper clips or jelly beans! Here is the site that converts the weight into things:http://www.bluebulbprojects.com/measureofthings It really puts things into perspective when we imagine it.
