I'm losing steam here, people. Week to week i'm down 1 lb, up 2 the next, down 1 lb, up 4 the next. It's exhausting. I'm working out 6 days a week. Eating well, doing Boot Camp twice a week...I am NOT seeing a change in my body and it's really starting to get to me. SO here are a couple of pictures of me when I started, and here is me a few weeks ago. Can anyone see a change???

    Sorry no I do not see the difference but I do believe that the number on the scale is not what you should be going by. You are a RockStar and workout hard, what are the NSV you have accomplished? How do you physically feel?
    I think everyone should ban their scales from the bathroom for two months. Keep at what you are doing.

    although its easier said that done its more about how you feel. do you have more energy typically? are u able to do more crunches or can you increase the weight that you are lifting? things like that....i have a hard time letting go of the number on the scale too. so i know how you feel.

    yes, your tummy looks smaller and more toned. definitely a difference! keep it up! i'm in the same boat as you - us that have less to lose and more to just firm up - it seems to take longer

    Oh thank god! You guys are really cool! I still kinda don't see it - but I know that you just get used to looking at yourself. I knew fresh eyes would be able to see progress I was missing. Thanks SO MUCH for all your responses. I'm already starting to feel more fueled to keep going!

    It's not a huge change but definitely different. You're looking more toned. And as someone else said, stomach and thighs are slimmer. Don't give up!

    The same thing happened to me for almost a month...up and down. Keep at it and it will stabilize and change. I'm not a medical professional, but I think it takes a while for your body to become accustomed to the change of lifestyle. I also think you look firmer and more toned. Keep going...it will get better!

    Thanks guys! Yeah, I guess I feel like I should be further along and looking better than I do. I've been at this since August, so like 7 or 8 months, and I see others on the site making huge strides over a year. I guess everyone's different though, and I shouldn't compare my journey to anyone else's...

    I can definitely see a difference. The stomach is flatter, thighs are smaller and less flab on the sides. Great job.

    I can see a difference in the mid section, if you really want to know do measurements. Although the scale can be intimadting the tape usually doesn't lie and I tape once a month so that way I know I get results. Keep up the good work you look awesome.
