Ruler shapes

Hi there. I'm interested in seeing some pics from other ruler shapes.

Does anyone else get a little discouraged at times because your overall body shape stays the same so even if you are smaller it doesnt look that way?

    I do feel that way and then I go back and look at my measurements and I feel better. Im the opposite. My body is changing into more curves b/c my starting shape was "round ball" LOL.

    I can tell you are getting smaller sometimes its hard for us to see the difference b/c you see yourself every day. People comment on how much I have lost and I really dont feel that much smaller.

    i have false curves :laugh:

    i definitely know i'm getting smaller because i can fit into smaller things, but pictures can be frustrating unless i do a side by side comparison of wearing the same exact thing.

    Several weeks ago I was getting discouraged because I felt that I was not making any changes in my body. I don't have a tape measure that I can put around myself so I used a tie, yes a tie, I put it around myself and marked it and measured it, to my surprise I found that I had lost three inches around my waist..
    I have also noticed that the bigger sizes I am used to buying are fitting me better, in fact to the point that they are to big in a lot of cases. Just so you don't think that I'm small person, I have been wearing 4x-3x sized shirts. In July these shirts I was pulling down all the time so that my extremly huge gut stayed covered. From what I have learned over the years, you will find the changes in your clothing before you see them on the scale.
