So its almost time for me to turn 30 years old, this milestone will happen on July 31st. My 20's have been gluttonous.....every month since I graduated Highscool, I have put on a half a pound. I refuse to live my 30's the same way, so I set out to drop 15lbs before my 30th B-day. I started this on June 3rd and so far have lost 8-10lbs. I have another 5-7lbs to knock off before July 31st and needed some motivation. Yes I have been losing at a good rate, but I know that it will not keep up. Most of my weight loss has come from cutting out soda, iced tea and iced coffee from my diet. I also cut out all fast food and have started going to the gym. So today I wanted some motivation, I do better with visuals than anything else.....so I googled "What a pound of fat looks like". I always knew that a pound of fat took up more space than a pound of muscle, but I had no idea that a pound of fat was this big.
