40 lbs gone but very little difference :/

I see a big difference in your waist and hips! Sometimes its hard to see that difference in ourselves because we see ourselves everyday and have this vision of how we'll look after losing the weight. Also some people have lots of subcutaneous fat (fat around our organs) and that is were it comes off first which in actuality is really good! I've found that I don't feel like my stomach as gone down as much as I hoped it would at this point, but when I compared pics side by side its clear that I'm burning fat on the sides of my stomach and right under my bust first (that part is virtually flat at this point) and thats why the front part of my belly doesn't show as much of a difference as I imagined it would.

You're doing REALLY GREAT! Keep it up!

How do you not see a difference????? its very obvious there is a difference..keep going!

All of these MFP's who are viewing your pictures cannot be wrong. There is definitely a big difference fron June to now. I bet your clothes are fitting much looser. Just continue whatever you are doing

from the pic .. there is a lot of difference.. ur actually pretty sexy in after pic. u keep it up and your going to be smoken..and im not joken... wow did i just do that? lol.... not kidding bout it though..u do look good.. so keep it up... and i know how u feel 80 lbs loss for me and i feel no difference for the most part.. still feel like chit all day long. however there is a few small things here and there that come up that is knew or different... like maybe having less trouble putting certain cloths on, being able to grasp my hands behind my back, my martial arts uniform fitting like it should...well as well as fat people cloths fit any who.. and might have to see bout getting a smaller one soon..hopefully not to soon, expensive. can do longer workouts, more difficult work outs etc.

there is going to be all sorts of changes your not going to notice and some that may take u a while to notice... some of my changes i didnt notice for some time... just do my ussuall routine then one day all of a sudden i notice it or im thinking bout it at the time and then go what the hell when i do it a different way... no matter what loseing weight and doing exercise makes u better in so many ways..even if u get to goal weight exercise should be a life long thing... skinny/overweight it dont matter . it does so many things for u that it is a must.

Tremendous difference, love. Your stomach lost a great deal of size. You should be very proud. If you really can't see it you might be suffering from body dismorphia. Time to do some research and maybe speak to someone about it so you can appreciate your other victories without getting discouraged.

you can see the difference hard work is paying off . Well done !

I can definitely see a big difference! Be careful girl, don't let your subconscious convince you into thinking that all your efforts to lose the weight are hardly. That happened to me at one point in my life....eventhough I'd lost the weight and had reached my weight goal (130 pounds), was able to wear size 2 clothes, and people around me always complemented and congratulated me for the weight lost, my subconscious convinced me that I was still FAT!!! I always saw myself fat....eventhough I wasn't, so I started overeating again and stopped working out....the pounds started creeping up! I tell you this, losing the last 20-30 pounds have been more of a challenge for me than losing all the weight the first time (200s-130)! Once our subconscious convince us that we are meant to be FAT, it's harder to lose the weight! Learn from my experience....don't fall into the trap! Keep trying to be healthy ....nobodyelse will do this for you! Good luck. )

I can definitely see a difference Well done.

Please! Add me! I started at 254, I am currently 220 and I have felt like I've lost nothing! You can see the difference on you! It's annoying because I've almost given up

I can definitely see the difference! Don't be discouraged! Keep going girl

I have been overweight ever since I can remember. Always the chubby one with the booda belly I had just lost hope in ever changing because i thought I never could. I have just recently got married to an incredible man who is a whopping 115 lbs! I more than doubled his size at 260! I have finally reached a point where I am mentally happy with my life and i just need the outside of me to match the happy, beautiful inside so I started MFP about 4 months ago and I am here now just about 40lbs light giver or take but the difference seems to be very little. Which as you can imagine will bring down someone who wants a change after working so hard for it.

4 months ago (embarassing!)


Now (not much difference)

there is a big difference. but try taking all your photos at equal distance from the mirror. i've noticed with mine that if you are standing closer ur look bigger so stand farther like your before photos and you will see it (:

Sometimes it is hard for us to see differences. And it takes the eyes of those who don't see you nearly as much. There is a pretty noticeable difference in your waist, face, and arms. keep up the good work, hon.

Congrats on the 40 lbs lost. I definitely can see a difference in the pictures. I highly recommend that you take measurements every 2 weeks. I find that it helps with the motivation. It's one of my favorite things to see the changes in. A weird measurement that I take is from my belly button to the bottom on my stomach overhang. That measurement really shows the difference in my body changes!

Keep up the great work!

I see a big difference...well done and keep going:)

Pretty big difference, if you ask me. Great job!
