I began at 170ish pounds, dropped to 135, then developed a binge eating disorder, and gained some of the weight back. Then I began my journey once again.
I'm 5'2.
The left is 142.5 (mid January) , the right is 136 (last week)

The left is last Thursday, and the right is this morning.

Can you guys see any changes in any of the photos?
No matter what you say, I will not quit my fitness journey, so please just be honest.

    you got a tan!

    Edit: joke aside, I personally can't, but do I understand correctly we are talking about less than 10 lb? I was not able to see my own until 25 lb so I must be blind or something... you are very very pretty, there is no jiggly fat which is best :smile:

    yes you can .. slight diff.. you look good in both pics though! and you look at a healthy weight.. and maybe just concentrate on maintaining and working out just for the health of it.. too skinny is no fun.. i think you are just right! right now! :bigsmile:

    It's only been a week between the 2nd set of pictures. It's a long journey, give yourself more time!

    There is a bit of a difference in the waist in the first set. But the angles aren't the same in each so that makes it harder to compare.

    I'm the same height as you and I really do wish I looked as good as you. As long as your bmi is good, and you feel good in yourself and how you look, I would stay just as you are. You look fabulous!

    PS. You are the same weight now as I was 16 years ago (very green with envy :-) )

    I have the same problem, how is it I look a LOT fatter with 5"4' and 146 lb? There is no justice. Some people are just lucky I guess.

    I do A LOT of cardio (running, and elliptical), but my body type is a "pear" (bottom heavy), so maybe that's why.

    The difference is hard to see because your pose is so different in the first pics. you have your elbows up, this elongates your torso and makes you appear thinner. The second pic your elbows are down, and the effects of elongation aren't there.

    Take another pic and pull your elbows up like you have in the first photo and I can GARAUNTEE you will see a difference.
