Ive lost 20lb since giving birth (3 months ago), but ive REALLY had to work hard to lose the last 10lb... so in 10lb no one can see a difference, and neither can i. Its a bit discouraging because most people that lose 10lb, its noticeable somewhere. but for me, its not. (ive inquired to multiple ppl if they have seen a difference, none have and neither have I.) Im still in the same size clothing, i dont fit into any smaller sizes, my body still looks the same. my face still looks just as chubby as does my other body parts....WHY?! it's quite discouraging to not notice any difference at all =/ am i the only one this happens to? what causes this? and i know that amount cant possible be "water weight"...

    10 pounds really isnt going to be that noticeable unless you're like 4'4" or something and it's usually not enough to equate to any differences in clothing sizes, especially depending on where you've lost it. for instance if you've lost a majority of weight on your face, wrists or feet, that's not going to translate to much difference in clothing.

    just keep up the good work and you'll get there

    10 lbs is great though, you've accomplished losing 20 lbs all together which is awesome. It does take time to see a difference though. Take your measurements is one suggestion I have. You may not see a difference visually but you may have inches coming off where you wouldn't be focusing. You said your clothes size hasn't change so maybe do measurements on things like your arms and your legs. You lose weight everywhere not just at the places your clothes sit at like your chest and hips. Stay focused and keep going. You'll see a difference soon I'm sure. Good luck.

    Thanks everyone.
    I actually do take all of my measurements. But they havn't budged for well over a month. I do hips, bust, legs, arms, waist, neck, calves. Pretty much everywhere. But guess i'll just keep on trecking...and im only 5 foot 1....so im just confused...
