My mother works on a deli counter and i went in there the other day and measured up 2lbs of fat. When you drop it from your body it doesnt look like much because i drops from all over. But hold it in your hand and it really shows how much it is! I think i will try the groups though! Sounds like a good way to keep an eye on things! Thanks guys!
