I'm super excited to say today when I woke up and took my daily photos at all angles that I actually saw a difference so I did a comparison on my computer and made a photo of it so this is what it looks like to lose 13 lbs although to me I feel like it looks and feels like more than 13 lbs (:

I censored it because I felt I should.

ETA: I also lift heavy, that may be why it might looks like more than 13 lbs but can't be sure. lol. Measurements are more friendly than scales.

    Your waist and stomach are looking great! I would have thought more than 13 as well.

    THANKS! I wondered if anyone would notice. That's actually the first place it was noticeable. That and in my thighs.

    My stomach has ripples too. But I have found that as I lose the weight and do abs and glutes classes several times a week, the ripples are disappearing and muscles are tightening the loose skin up. Not sure I will lose all of the ripples but so far they are disappearing (slowly) from under my bra area down toward my belly area. :smile:

    I wish I knew how to answer all these in one. lol. And Yeah, I've noticed it has tightened up some and I moisturize and take vitamin E as well as do ab toning exercises. I'm hoping. I really would hate to have a lot of loose skin. But, I have terrible skin anyways. I had stretch marks when I was younger when I was not big. So, I knew when I got pregnant I was going to get a lot and I did...But, at least they have lightened so I'm hoping that when it's all said and done that I won't have excess skin and if I do that it tightens up with more toning exercises.

    Yes, it does! I've been lifting since I started and although I believe I've gained some muscle which has in turn made my weight loss a little slower I can still see the difference (: I take photos everyday, tho. lol.
