Do you feel this way?

So I've lost almost 10lbs through MFP and C25k, which I couldn't be more thrilled about. However, I feel like I'm not seeing results when I look in the mirror. Yes, the scale tells me I've lost weight, but I feel like I don't look any different. Does anyone else feel this way?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have lose 70lbs in 4 months and I havent (until recently) been able to see it. I know my clothes are fitting differently BUT I cant see anything. I cant see the weight loss. I hear compliments daily but I dont see it, and it sucks when you dont see your accomplishments. If you're anything like me you kinda get down because you're not seeing it.

Like I said this was until recently. I saw a picture of me a few months ago and a recent picture of me and I was shocked. I could FINALLY see the difference. I dont know if I saw 70lbs worth of difference but I did see a difference. My best advice is keep doing what you are doing. Dont let yourself get discouraged because this is a goal you WILL accomplish and eventually you WILL be able to see your acheivements. Good Luck hun wishing you the best

Thank you girl!! Congrats on your loss. That is awesome . I know jeans that use to be tight on me are now loose on me. But then I'm like while wait maybe I wore them a couple days before and that's why they're loose. Idk im crazy!!! but thanks for your advice!

I now what you mean!! I couldn't see the weight going ON through the winter! Its like I have some kind of blindfold or something when I look in the mirror I don't seem to look any different even though I'm around 40 lbs UP on this time last year! I don;t know why it doesn't work for me! I mean my clothes sizes were going up because I cuoldn't fit in my old ones, walking around was getting more dificult etc etc. so I have NO idea what kinda tricks my brain plays on my eyes!!

the thing that does it for me every time though is photos/ pictures! I know my camera doesn't lie to me and I got a shock when I saw pics of myself I (purposefully) took at the beginning of the week to proove and to shock myself into taking action (which is why I'm here and trying to move my body around a little bit more every day!).

So, try taking some pictures? and see how that compares to pics from a little while ago? I'm sure there must be some differences, even if they;re just very small, they're still a difference. don't get disheartened hon Its all gonna be worth it in the end!

I'm 14 pounds down and can't see a difference...I took my measurements yesterday and saw that I lost an inch and a half but cant see it in the mirror yet....I still have about 60 to lose so Im hoping the closer I get to my goal, the more I will see it. I'm not giving up and neither should you!
