Not sure I see the difference 30 pounds down

There is totally a difference! Absolutely--congratulations. The contrast of the pics takes something away. For your next pics--more light in the room, close fitting clothes and you will see all you've accomplished jump out:)

You are most certainly less wide now. I know that sounds weird, but your hips and torso have really shrunk!

Definite difference especially in the mid section. Keep at it.

JimWink

It's very noticeable in your face and belly! Keep up the great work. (we're all our own worst critics!)

I took a second set of progress pics today. These are the first real pics I have to compare to, the ones of the left at 217, and the ones on the right at 187. I know my inches are different, and I feel different, but I really don't see the difference in the pics.
I was really hoping to notice a huge difference, as my motivation was running really low today. Husband says it's super noticeable, and urged me to post them, saying I'm being too hard on myself. Anyhow, putting these up in hopes that the internet will tell me I'm wrong (as it typically does haha).
I know the quality of the pictures are questionable. The only full length mirror we have is in the garage, and it's pretty obvious how often I get out there with a bottle of windex.





Darn it, this is taking more courage to post than anticipated...Okay, hitting Post Topic...now!
And attempting to fix size, it should stop being enormously large in a minute.

YES!! You can see it in how the clothes fit, and awesome.

Huge difference! Go you!

Definitely changing hun. You may not notice as much as others. Sometimes we hold unrealistic visions of our bodies. If you feel frumpy you'll seem bigger than you really are. Ever wonder why size 0 women say they are fat? They just FEEL it.

HUGE difference! Keep it up!

Your face and décolletage look fab, As for your gorgeous shapely ankles! :flowerforyou: You are doing amazingly. I bet your husband is loving the new you.
Compliments aside, I think it takes a special skill to be able to see the small changes day by day as we are on familiar territory and see what we expect to see rather than what is actually there. If that makes sense?
But there is no doubt that there is a big change.

OP truthfully, yes there is a difference!

The same sort of phenomenon happens when looking in the mirror, often the person themselves, cannot see any difference and yet everybody else can.

Just keep on persevering, because you are doing just grand so far )

I can't believe you don't see the difference! It's very obvious!!! You'll just have to trust us on this one. :flowerforyou:

lottaheat

Totally understand! I've lost 25 as well, and for me the challenge is my body is just a smaller version of it's heavier self. Until I get down closer to my goal weight (within 15 lbs) my curves and hips/waist don't show up the way I want..,AND then there's firming everything up via exercise and weights for that sculpting. Don't fret, stay on course! You're peeling away the layers and it won't be long!

mamoojack

Not see a difference??? You are kidding!!! You look great!! Keep it up!!!

dr3am3r

I CAN DEFINETLY SEE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR HIPS AND WAIST!!!! YOU SHOULD BE EVER SO PROUD!!!

AmyLRed

big difference! looks like you tend to lose all over, which is why its harder for you to see it when looking at any one specific area. I too, couldnt see it on myself until i lost 30lbs plus.
I can easily see your loss in all the photos, but especially in the last one, side view! wow! there is a
lot less of you

And, to put it in perspective, you have lost 3 ten pound bags of potatoes! go to the grocery store and lift that up and realize how much you are NOT carrying! Or 4 gallons of water, or your average 2-3 year old

helenmc40

You look awesome!!! sometimes it is not how we look but how we feel and how our clothes feel. I can totally see the difference and I am sure you feel the difference? More energy, better sleeping, little skip in your step? You have done great, keep up the good work.

PlunderBunneh

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Seriously, best ego boost ever. A huge hug to every single person that commented in this thread, I feel a thousand times better. It's just so easy to get down on myself, as I'm sure everyone can understand.
I hope everyone has a wonderful fabulous day!
:flowerforyou:

heatherterp

first off by the time you get to this post I hope you are convinced there is a difference! Secondly you are doing great keep it up!

SPerko4980

Love your sense of humor (the mirror in the garage and the Windex!). I think as in anything we are our own worse critics because BELIEVE ME -- THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE!!! Surely if you can't see it your clothes must feel it. I'm encouraged as I've just been on it a week and to see how much difference 30# has made on you -- I can't wait!!! Continued good luck and, for at least this - listen to your husband

b0mbxchelle

You know I lost 30 pounds and I can see a little difference, but all of my clothes fit the exact same.

mikellsmom

you look great.... there is definitely a huge difference... you can really see it in you face, legs, and stomach... keep up the hard work.. really paying off.

natalie2355

omg! your face!!!! and your stomach!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good job!!!!

hotmama1174

It ia always hard to see once own successes as we are always hardest on our selves. Before even commenting on your pictures...CONGRATS on your lbs lost so far, your commitment to lose weight and your continued success!!!!

On to the pictures....OMG you can ABSOLUTELY see the difference!!!

From head to toe....even though the flash is in the picture, I can see a difference in your face (cheeks are smaller)...your shoulders are thinner and not as broad...your chest is smaller....your waist is a good amount of inches smaller...as well as your hips, thighs and even your calves and ankles!!!

Keep up the good work!

Gemini_1980

Major progress from what my eyes can tell! Good job:bigsmile:

MogwaisGrandma

It is really noticeable in picture 2 when you look at your face and 3 from the side.

Your clothes now fit you and are not stretched over you any more, that is the difference.

clay1976

It's really obvious in the profile pics on the bottom. Huge difference! Lookin great!
