    You look friggin awesome...

    I see someone double my weight when i look in the mirror... it sucks.. cuz i feel like all the effort i'm putting in isn't paying off even though i've dropped 2 pant sizes.

    First of all, you look amazing! :) Congrats on your success! :heart:

    Secondly... I have the opposite problem! My hubby's phone camera seems to be weird if you take pictures with it at different angles. It can definitely make me look fatter - it usually does! But like if you hold it tilted up or down when taking a picture, it can make your legs / upper body look bigger / smaller or shorter / taller than they actually are. It's kinda fun to play with sometimes, but more of a pain in the butt when trying to take a good picture! Maybe that's something your camera does? I dunno. Phone cameras can be touchy.

    Well thanks you guys, but I think y'all are in cahoots with any and all dressing room type mirrors....

    I seriously don't get how the camera makes me look like that :/

    So maybe, just maybe, it you that's making you look that way in the mirror and not a distortion or false image. You have come so far and sometimes I takes our minds a lil while to catch up to our body. Seeing someone else's reflection, that cant be me, no way I'm that thin. Its a come thing for such a drastic change and years of poor self image. Don't worry Hun, you'll get used to it in time.

    I think that is what is going on here.....

    It's hard for your brain to catch up...people who haven't seen you in a while notice right away. Because you look at yourself every day, it's harder to see the changes. But you look really good! Believe the pictures!

    ahahahaha I WISH! I know I look better than I did at 190 lbs for sure, but I seriously don't look that thin when I look straight into the mirror. Usually the camera hates me too.... I think it's cuz like the other poster said about angles and such... but these are totally motivating pics for me to get to where I actually do look that thin!

    mirrors are flat, therefor taking a pic in a mirror will make you look flatter than you really are. i love taking mirror pics. lol

    It's not the camera (or the mirror), your mind hasn't caught up to your body....you look great!

    Thank you everyone.... I REALLY needed to hear this quite honestly.... I've been getting frustrated lately with my progress.... it's certainly motivating to hear that ppl see the progress I have made though...

    so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    If you think it's lying to you, then get a new mirror.

    And after you do that, send me your old, lying, p.o.s. I could use a good lying mirror right now.

    You look fantastic! Wasn't until I saw pictures of myself with some friends that I saw my own weight loss. When we look in the mirror we may still see the same body but in a picture it's difficult to deny the changes : )
