Thank you OP for posting these pictures.  I found it very interesting.  A pound of fat is definitely more than I thought it was.  Good to know.

When you lose 1 pound of fat-it's the same as losing 4 sticks of butter...................

so-everytime you lose one pound, you can say-I lost another 4 sticks!

            Best Answer:  One pound of fat is the same size as a pound of butter or margarine. However it is spread over the body under the skin and can be stored in the abdomen around the organs.

cat has nothing to do with anything...........spotted him in the butter research................thought he was cute

I should set some around the house. It will keep me from raiding the ice cream on occassion (lol). I have so much trouble losing weight since my back issues and pain with excercise. When I tell the Dr.the Dr says then eat less food for less calories because I dont burn them. And then I tell her if I eat any less I wont have anything to eat! (lol).

Anybody remember Oprah's little red wagon full of fat equal to the amount she lost?  She came out on stage pulling it & wearing her cute little size 8 (or was it 10?) jeans?  I think that was when she did that liquid diet (Optifast?).

Anyway, I was thinking about pizza for dinner.  Now I think I'll have a glass of water & a breath of air for dessert.

any time i lose a pound i equate that with a pound of butter.  but, those pictures of fat will do the trick too!
