40 lbs - Before & After photo...I can't see a difference?!

itsCheek

Hi guys. I'm 5'8" and since the beginning of the year I've gone from close to 200 lbs. down to 162 lbs. as of today. I've done it by good ol' diet & exercise...first I did a Paleo diet, then juiced, now I'm a gluten-free vegan, and am juicing this week as well. I've started a running regimen 5 days a week, but sometimes I'll mix it up with some yoga or Jillian Michaels videos from YouTube.

Anyway, I'm not trying to fish for compliments or anything, but I put together photos of my weight loss and honestly I don't see a difference in the pix!!!! Maybe I just have some sort of mental block...IDK....Can you see ANY difference at all?!?!! My clothes are all too big on me, people who know me say I look skinnier, but when I look at the pictures I get kind of sad that I can't see anything. I see a little difference in my arms, but that's about it.

Most of them time when I see B&A pix from other people there is a noticeable difference! Don't worry, I am still 100% motivated to reach my GW of 135 lbs. and won't stop till I get there! (FYI, my ticker isn't correct because I wan't logging anything when I first started).

I can see a definite difference. It's hard to tell on yourself. I've been measuring myself and that shows me a big difference. Also, you carried your weight pretty well so it's harder for you to see it. You've done a great job!

Do you take your measurements regularly? Sometimes that is the ONLY way I know I have lost fat.

Yes - I see a difference. Don't get discouraged. The scale shows you've made progress and I'm certain a measuring tape would tell you even more!! Congrats on your loss!!!
