I can notice a difference in your chest. Don't get discouraged if you don't see the results others do because I think we're harder on ourselves and sometimes don't see ourselves, know what I mean??

The second picture is a little hard to see....but your chest is smaller for sure! keep up the great work!

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: It's more noticeable to take the same shot from the same distance in the same clothes. If you don't see it now putting the same picture minus 21 lbs side by side will make it really stand out for you. I've see 5 lbs changes doing that.

Congrats on the loss by the way. Greta job so far :-)

You can definitely see it! You absolutely look slimmer. Congratulations!

I'm down 27 so far and I don't see it in myself either, but my jeans are all fitting much looser and I'm down 2 holes in my belt. I'm more excited about how I feel than how I look - I figure if I keep up like this I'll see results eventually, but I'll feel more fit right away.

Focus more on how you feel than on the numbers - you look awesome and I bet you're feeling great too!

You look great! Don't worry about not being able to see it just yet. I read somewhere that it was a psychological thing... Something about constantly looking at yourself. Who knows?! I've lost 91 pounds, and I swear I don't see a difference. I try not to let it get me down though. Because, eventually, I'm gonna to HAVE to see it. I think it'd be impossible to go from 295 to 130 pounds and NOT see it. Lol. Maybe if I go blind! Jeez.

You're doing an amazing job; doing all the right things! You can do this. We all have faith in you.

I see the difference, good job

mommajen89

I know exactly what you are saying! I'm down about 16 and the only place I can see it is my chest and my rear LOL I'm trying so hard to be patient but it's hard!

Keep up the good work! You look great!!!!

I do see a difference...but its sooo much harder to tell when its "you" looking at you..you see yourself everyday, so it will be hard to tell. But I bet you feel adifference in your clothes..right?

I see a difference in the chest area. I think it's really hard for us to see differences because we see ourselves everyday. You should take pictures of yourself at different angles and retake pictures at the same angles wearing the same clothes or no clothes to really see differences each month.

Myself, for example, I lost 9 pounds so far and don't see a difference when I look in the mirror, but I was looking at a picture from a few months ago and saw a major difference. It was a naked back picture. I periodically take pictures of my hair from the back because I'm in a grow my hair to hip length challenge. In the picture from a few months ago, I had major back fat and in a picture taken a few days ago, no back fat. I was really surprised.

I can tell....you look great! It hard for you to tell when you look at yourself everyday.
Find something you did wear & try it on now. You also should be able to tell if you measure yourself.

Keep up the good work! Christine : )

loxleys

you look smaller all over to me. Keep a check of your measurements once a month for even more encouragement. good luck with the continued weight loss.

margie_77

We sometimes don't see it in ourselves, because everyday we're a little smaller and a little smaller, so we get used to it instead of bam 20 something pounds. We see .2, .2, .2... you get the picture.
Speaking of pictures, taking the pictures in the same clothes at the same angle is definitely a good suggestion!

I can see a difference. I see it in your face and in your stomach.

I agree with him. It's easier to tell when the photos are taken from roughly the same distance away. However, I notice it in your sides as well as your chest. So way to go!

Defintely can tell you lost weight. Do you take measurements. You must be in smaller sizes too by now. You are doing great.
