    Girl, you know you look good and that's exactly why you posted those pics! I saw what you did there.


    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 : )

    The mirror isn't lying. Your brain might be, but the mirror isn't.

    Side note: Love the ink!

    You look awesome.

    The same thing happens to me. I don't see changes in the mirror, but I can see it in photos. I think we can be more objective when looking at a photo. In the mirror, we zero in on every flaw, real or perceived. In photos, we can look at ourselves as if we were someone else... and see the "big picture."

    I have the opposite problem... for years I have looked in the mirror and thought I looked ok. I was ok with my weight because I didn't "feel" fat. I don't know exactly why it finally clicked.. but I suddenly realized I AM FAT! 220 is too much for a woman my height...

    You look great... give it time to adjust.. Take pictures, look often and tell yourself you look great. You do!

    I have to take photo's to see the truth, cus my mind has not yet caught up with my body. I still see that 250lb girl looking back, but the photo's tell a different story. I think it's just our minds having a hard time catching up. You look great!


    ^^exact same for me.. I have lost so much weight already that sometimes I look in the mirror and dont even see myself.. its so strange but it hopefully will get better!! You look amazing btw:flowerforyou:

    you should go for some skinny jeans and get rid of those flares, or wear really tall boots so the flares don't drag on the floor.

    But seriously, you look amazing. I would like your size 8's please. :)

    YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! don't let yourself think anything different

    but I have the same problem :( I look in the mirror & I barely notice any difference in myself... :( I do notice it in some photos... but taking a picture of myself in the mirror isn't one of those photos...

    but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope to be your size some day ;) but I'm 5'8" so it will probably be a little different ;)

    Lol sometimes I wonder if it is my scale the one that lies. By the way what size are you now? you look about my height and that is about how thin I'd like to be and right now am a size 6 and 141 lbs so am trying to get an idea of how much more work I need to put into this to be about your size.


    I'm 5'6... Last Saturday I weighed in at 140. I am a SNUG 4/5. 6/7 are too loose in the waist, but fit through the thighs... 4/5 fit in the waist but tight through the thighs... stupid saddlebags! :/

    Hey, we are in the same 'boat' I am 5'6" this morning I weighed in at 138. My work pants are 4's and my jeans are 6 and some 4's. My problem is my belly! Stupid Belly! :o)
