    Thanks guys. I guess I was just hoping that being 12 lbs down I would have a great NSV. But Im still too big for a pant size down, but my pants now are too lose. Just gets discouraging. But definitely Thank you. You guys gave me my motivation I needed to get off the couch and do D8 of my 30 day shred.

    Definitely shows that you have lost weight... you can't target areas though... just keep up the hard work and the fat will come off...

    I see it in your back. Thats where it started for me as well, and I didnt even notice because we are not usually as used to looking at our backs.

    wow, that's a big difference, especially in your thighs! Just keep going. I am down about 9lbs and I don't really see a difference, but that's because I always focus on the areas that I really want to lose the weight. Don't get discouraged, you will succeed! Just keep Bringing It!

    I can see a difference! The hip and butt and thigh pics especially. You are doing fantastic! Just keep up whatever you are doing, it is working:)

    Betsy is right - you're totally rocking this. Your behind is really noticeably smaller.

    Keep going - you're doing fantastic work!

    Well You can def tell, especially in the waist and butt. There's nothing "extra" that you can do... just keep doin what you are doin and eventually the weight will come off everywhere. I have the same problem with my bottom half... All you gotta do is just keep at it!

    Patience grasshopper! I CAN see a difference. In regards to targeting your thighs...squats, lunges or step ups holding dumb bells, leg curls, inner thigh machine, leg extension machine, walking, jogging...they've worked for me. Keep up the good work!

    So I started a month and a half ago. I'm down 12 lbs but just not feelin it. Maybe because I am too busy focusing on my HUGE thighs?! I just dont know what to do.

    heres the pics...

    Any suggestions for the thighs? I am currently doing 30DS and I jog for an hour every night. I know you can target just the thighs, but any suggestions will help.

    (sorry know I said 13... really 12. whoopsie! lol )

    Our bodies will accumulate and lose fat whereever they do...it's really difficult to "target" such weight loss. Having said that, you're looking even MORE incredible now--looks like you're making great progress.

    As for the thighs, workouts like swimming and walking/jogging are good for getting great tone and smoothing, but maybe it's just the guy in me, but they seem appealing as is--losing weight will slim them, but thighs and hips are partly genetic, so don't beat yourself up too much. Just keep doing whatever it is that you're doing!! :)

    I can see a difference!

    I was once told that you and others won't really notice your weight loss until you've lost 10% of your body weight. For you, that is pretty close, but for others it could be 30 pounds before anyone even notices. This makes it hard sometimes because we want quicker results, but I'm guessing that in the next few weeks you will finally start feeling it. Keep up the good work!!!
