So I started paying attention to calories right after Easter and I cheated so much the first couple weeks and worked out very little, but I lost 3 lbs. For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been really good about watching calories and I've been working out almost 6 days per week. I haven't lost any weight since those first two or three weeks. I don't feel like I look any different, however I have noticed I feel more in shape when I do my workouts.

Can anyone see a difference in my body, I know I might be being kind of critical but I need to know if all this hard work is paying off because I'm surely not losing weight. Any advice would also be helpful!

The first picture is from the end of February and the second pic is from today, and even though I know I said I didn't really start dieting until after Easter I'm pretty sure my body was about the same as in the first picture.

I would really appreciate feedback! Thanks!

    You seem to be more tone, and I feel like I can see a difference in your belly button! Seems like it's flatter than before.

    Keep up the good work! :D

    Your lovehandles are smaller in the first picture & you look a lot tighter in your abs.

    You are looking good! Keep it up. The fact that you are feeling better during workouts should tell you its working! :drinker:

    Hi,

    Do you use all your exercise cals?

    I wasnt & didnt loose anything until i realised most days i was eating under 1200 which would put my body in starvation mode.

    You look great :)

    I can see a bit of a difference in your stomach but what I notice more is your arms. I am not sure if you have been working on your arms or not but in the second picture they definitely look more toned. If you are working out regularly and the scale is not going down, don't get discouraged! Muscle is more dense than fat, so it is very likely you are losing fat but gaining muscle and the scale isn't moving much. You can see a difference already so keep up the good work and don't get discouraged by the numbers on the scale!!

    Oh and another thing...did you take your measurements before you started? Sometimes I lose inches and not pounds.

    your thighs look smaller to me, but it could be the way you are standing

    I haven't noticed much difference in how my clothes fit but I do feel like my stomach seems smaller.

    I didn't take my measurements in the beginning because I didn't have a tape, but maybe I will get one and go off of that more than off of pounds.

    Usually I make sure I eat the calories I work off.

    Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, I will definitely put them to use.
