    You're stressing over 2 weeks progress? Get a hold of yourself. 6lbs is actually great (and unusually high) for 2 weeks. Worry about 2 months progress, or even better, 2 years progress. 2 weeks is just the very beginning.

    I can certainly see a difference. I wish I had shown that much of a difference after just 2 weeks. It is quite noticeable, but look most folks are not going to "see" a change unless it dramatic to them. Folks you see every day won't notice because, like you, they see you everyday. Folks you see only every week or so, won't notice unless it is dramatic between seeing you. As others have said, wait until you have lost for a couple of months (at least) and you bump into someone you haven't seen since before you started.

    Love your profile pic DopeItUp. I'm a huge NIN fan.

    Don't be discouraged Shayzeepoo...6 pounds is great for 2 wks! I started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution 2 wks ago and I've lost 5.4 so you're ahead of me! If you're looking to lose in your waist I totally recommend it. That is where I've noticed the most difference--1.5 inches already! I definitely see a difference in your pics. Keep up the good work!

    2 weeks is still VERY fresh. It will take time for you body to adjust and reflect changes. You may not SEE the changes right away, but I recommend taking measurements to compare.

    HANG IN THERE, YOU CAN DO IT!

    EDIT: just saw the pics... i can totally see a difference!! Whatever workout you do- just stick to it!

    progress isnt measured in days and weeks, it is measured in months and years.

    if you really want this you have to be somewhat consistent with your diet and exercise, make it a habit and time will fly by and before you know it you will have some KICK *kitten* 2 month progress pictures

    feel free to message me as i am very familiar with your situation, meaning i used to be 279lbs at the age of 17. Now i am 19 and @ 195lbs and have dreams of doing a body building show in a couple years

    you CAN do it, but it will take effort on your part

    I have just started doing pole dancing classes (once a week). It is a great workout. It is building my strength and flexibility. My thighs are definitely getting smaller and stronger. It is a great workout.

    * Contrary to what some believe, it is not a stripper class... the class I take focuses on fitness, dance, and being comfortable with yourself.

    I feel like they are awful..

    I guess I should leave them up, maybe it will keep me going forward.

    Here they are, I. Just so terrified of negative feedback.. I'm a wimp.

    I do see a change in your stomach and hips. I know what you are feeling though. I can't tell I'm even fat so that's my problem at the moment. But I do know I have a stomach and big thighs. Keep going!! :-)

    ugh...i don't know how to work these html codes, but basically, the image i am trying to post says it takes 4 weeks for you to start noticing a change in your body; 8 weeks for your friends to notice; and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice.

    i can't see your pictures from my work computer, so i can't tell you if i see a difference or not, but i'll tell you, it took 15 weeks for me to notice my own changes when everyone else had already started noticing at 10 weeks. keep at it! don't get discouraged! :)

    Very big change in the stomach area, plus you have some GREAT natural curves throughout your body. You should be proud. You are going to look great at your goal! Don't hide those pictures, use them to push yourself harder. :)

    I would recommend Jillian Michael's Body Revolution 90-day program. Yes, it is pricey, but it is so worth it for strengthening and toning up your body, and also giving you cardio at the same time. I completed one cycle of the program, and I am no starting it again to keep up my results. It is a tough program but it works :smile:

    KEEP IT UP!!!

    It's frustrating to not feel like you see huge results right away, you work so hard and are so dedicated you expect to see a huge difference right away.

    I got wrapped up in my routine and was so concentrated on that I was totally surprised when I put on my jeans and they were loose!

    I'm going to keep pushing, I'm going to push harder... Thank you everyone!

    I'm going to start 30 day shred on Sunday (I'm out of town all weekend) & keep doing my hot yoga 3 days a week.



    I'm going to stop weighing myself so often.. I'll be back with much better pictures in 2 months.

    I'm in week 2 of BR. What were your results for the program if you don't mind my asking? Just curious to see where I could be in 90 days.
