    Look at that tiny waist! You look gorgeous, lady!

    Also, there is quite a noticeable difference from your before photo. You look thinner, younger, and happier!

    You may have stalled a little bit, but continuing your good habits and pushing yourself physically when you get the opportunities, you WILL get there :smile: And every stall along the way you will still be closer than when you started!

    Plus, what I find helpful when I get frustrated with slow progress is to think about the behaviours and not the results: Is there a merit to being physically active and eating less with better foods outside of weight loss? Yes. I will be healthier, stronger, have more energy and be less at risk for a myriad of diseases. Reason enough to continue right there.

    Also, when I get frustrated, I think about what my alternatives are. Will eating more, eating junk more frequently, or working out less often accomplish anything good for me? Nope. So what's the question then? Do I continue? Yes. So then I start thinking "what can I change about my attitude or outlook to keep me encouraged rather than discouraged?" I'm going to do this regardless. Might as well be proud of my accomplishments and take joy in the little changes/discoveries rather than letting the obstacles ahead of me or my pace get me down.

    You don't even look like the same person - you look about half the size you were! You have done fantastically. Can you see the difference looking at the photos? I don't see myself looking different in the mirror - but in photos I can see small changes. You should be very proud of what you have achieved. I think you may have body dis-morphia too. Maybe look into it?

    I have been at my weight loss journey now for a little over 5 1/2 months and the scale was moving great and now its at a stand still and I am having a hard time noticing what I have done so I thought I would share a before an after pic and I hope you guys can tell a difference. This journey as been a very emotional journey for me to find who I am :) I feel like I should look better after losing 50# and I have 30# more pounds to lose just seems out of reach! Thanks for listening to my story...

    WOW seriously you can't tell!!!! OMG I thought I suffered from body dysmorphia! lol. You look amazing and SO much smaller than you were, probably 1/3 less of your former self!

    Good luck with the rest of your journey. x

    Honey, Your beautiful :heart:
    Sometimes the eyes are blind to our own progress, take off those fat glasses and see how much you've changed!

    Even if all you did was maintain as you currently are, you would still be a huge WIN! Stick with it and even if it takes twice as long it will be worth the wait!

    you look amazing. I also have trouble seeing my differences i think it is from a poor self body image all these years. Keep up the great work !

    We are our own worst enemy. There is always something more or better. I have a picture I took before my husband and I got married. I remember looking at it thinking i was so FAT. Now I look at it and say I wish I was that size.

    You need to love yourself at all sizes and then love yourself enough to get healthy.
  • You look AWESOME!!!!!:flowerforyou:
  • Before I read your post I just saw your pictures and I literally thought to myself "Wow, she looks great!!"

    So, you look great :flowerforyou: :smile:
  • Huge difference! You look great! Keep it up!

    You look fantastic, great job!
    I sympathize with your predicament though, I'm in a similar situation. I've dropped 56 pound in 4 months , 44 pounds still to lose. People keep commenting on my new appearance but I can't see it. I still feel bloated and uncomfortable and when I see my reflection I look just the same as i always did.
    I guess we have to trust the scales and the tape and the kind words of the people in our lives and avoid all mirrors!
