1 lb of meat

I like to look at my weight loss in pounds of ground beef. Think about 1 lb of raw ground beef....it looks grose.....that's a lot of meat! I've lost only 5 lbs thus far, but when I think about 5 lbs of ground beef it makes me put things in perspective. Just a thought!

I was carrying bags of sugar. Have you ever tried to lift a ten lb or 15 lb bag of sugar. Basically that is what I am. Bags and bags of sugar. So when I lose 5 lbs, I carry something that weighs 5lbs in my hands to remind myself just how much weight that really is!!

When I lose a pound or two and sometimes catch myself thinking that's not "very much" I think about what a pound of bacon looks like.

oh yeah.... a raw pound of bacon...That could do it for me too! LOL.... never thought of that one before

I have lost the equivalent of a 18 month old.....want to get rid of that preschooler in me too. lol
