Need Motivation

I weighed this morning and I'm down another pound, for a total of 9 lbs. I'm proud of myself yet I cant see it. I can tell my clothes are getting bigger, so I get that. And the scale obviously see's it....but when I look in mirror, I dont notice any changes. Mu husband says he can't tell b/c he sees me everyday :grumble:

Does anyone feel the same? Am I just crazy? How much more weight do I need to lose to notice? Some words of wisdom and motivation would help! Thanks!

    9 lbs is terrific. If you're clothes are lose there's def. a difference, girly! You're doing great, don't get discouraged, I'm sure you will see a difference soon!

    Keep up! Don't give up, this journey is one day at a time, and even though, we would like to see results fast, we need to keep going. 9 pounds is great, I haven't lost that much in a long time, I wish I can be there, but for now I try to relax and not think about it by doing my chores, or read about something else than healthy lifestyle. Don't get discourage, you are doing a great job. (((HUGS)))

    I would try to see someone that you haven't seen in a few weeks. They always freak and say stuff like "Oh my gosh, you look great!" or "Holy wow, how much weight have you lost?" It's a great feeling, definitely gives you the motivation to keep going and change even more. :bigsmile: By the way, I think 9 pounds is awesome! Be proud of yourself!! :happy:
