You're looking great!
I'm one of those people like you who doesn't see the changes. Now, I also haven't lost 50 pounds like you...I'm only down about 8. But, I know the more I lose I'm bound to think the same as you "I'm just not seeing it". *shrugs* Who knows...guess we'll see when I start really dropping the pounds.

You could have been sucking in when you took the first measurements? That happened to me initially because I didn't want to see how big I actually was! (still in a bit of denial I guess lol) These pictures speak VOLUMES. Remember getting healthy isn't just about numbers in any aspect but how you FEEL inside and out. I bet you have more energy, you are happier, its easier to bike? I'm willing to venture after 50lbs you are doing things that used to be difficult and are just a bit easier and you probably didn't even realize! For me- 15lbs? I have noticed its not so hard to walk up the stairs anymore. I can run just a bit further than I used to and my body re-cooperates faster! Take note of the small changes :-) YOU ARE DOING AMAZING KEEP IT UP and REVEL in the small simple changes your body is making every day! :-) CONGRATULATIONS!0

In the first photo, I had already lost a few pounds... and when I saw the photo later, I wanted to cry. Here I was, feeling all fabulous about myself for losing some weight, and then I see that. Ugh. You will see it too. I really think that photos can be helpful. Hang in there! :O)0 -

I want to believe that I wouldn't do that to myself, but who knows? I was in a horrible frame of mind when I started out and knew how big I was getting. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that is the case. I have "accurate" measurements now though, so at least I can move forward and know what is actually changing. :O)
Thank you so much!0 -

You would think, right? So crazy. Plus, the waist band on all of my pants are huge now. I just don't know how I could've measured that wrong.
Thank you so much!0 -

It really isn't a secret. I have been overweight my entire life and I've lost good chunks in the past, however, I've always gone into it with the wrong mindset. In the past, I would tell myself that I wasn't allowed to have anything "bad," and that "someday" this would all be over and I could go back to "normal." But, what is normal for a person who's been fat her whole life? The reality is, I was starving myself to lose quickly, and it all just came back on. This time, I eat what I know I should most of the time, but if we go out to dinner on the weekend, I don't freak out if it's a pizza place or mexican food, etc. and just have a slice or get something somewhat reasonable off the menu. I haven't deprived myself of anything that I actually wanted... the trick is determining if I actually want it. :O) In addition, I work out a significant amount. I found a local kickboxing class that has done wonders for me, and I cycle quite a bit. Between the two, I get cardio and muscle training, and the combo seems to be working well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it so very much.0 -

First of all....amazing! I totally get the not seeing it part. I have been on a now scale summer because the numbers were frustrating me. I am an addictive 'measurer' and would measure weekly, those numbers too were not changing or averaging a gain. Finally I started to compare pictures. Pictures are my life saver! Keep on taking pictures. For some reason my scale is the devil and my measuring tape a lier! But the camera, it is my best friend. Good luck you will continue and you will feel and look even more amazing than you feel already!0

Wow! Are you kidding me? Of course, we can see a difference!! You look amazing and what progress you have made in such a short time! Keep up the great work!!:)0
