After having my second baby, I lost a car tire, a bowling ball, and two chihuahuas! It's way more fun to say that than, "I lost 45 pounds [3]."
Losing weight is hard, and this chart posted by fitness coaches Jaymie Moran and Jim Walsh turns (@bodysmartfitness [4] on Instagram) all of your hard work into something tangible that you can celebrate. I mean, you may not feel like losing 11 pounds is a big deal, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose [5], but when you think of losing an average-sized house cat, it seems way more substantial, doesn't it? And one pound is a guinea pig?! A visual like that will make you want to high-five yourself!
And while I don't want to think about how someone figured out what a sperm whale's brain weighs, I do appreciate that this chart could inspire someone to keep going on their weight-loss journey. Tell us: what have you lost or what do you hope to lose?
