Do you see it?? 22 pounds! How do I not?

How can you NOT see the change. I know when you look at yourself it seems like that.

You're cheeks are smaller and rounder.
Your muffin top is almost gone.
You have less arm flab.
Your boobs stick out farther than your tummy. (Sorry if offended)
You look much much younger.

I'm on a year of solid working out. It takes a looong time and the results always seem to be out of reach. I just get pissed at myself and try harder.

I feel the same way sometimes. I can't see what others see on my own body. I can see the change in your body. Your face is slimmer, and the midsection is smaller as well! Good For You!! You will look in the mirror in the next few weeks and say "OMG that's me!!" the waiting does suck but you ARE looking great!

What?? How canu not??? Your face looks thinner, your tummy smaller...girl u are rocking it! I'm going to post mines I lost 27 total since january 31st but 21 since joining MFP. Keep it up cuz it's working!

Oh and look at your shoulders- you can really tell there too....... ! Keep it up!

^^ Yup..You look Awesome.

I see it--i think bc you look at yourself everyday, it's hard to notice the "change". I know with me, I had lost almost 50 and the only reason I saw a change was bc my clothes had gotten big and then one day I found a pic and compared it to now and was like, "wow, I guess you have lost weight" LOL

It is hard to see the change when you see yourself every day! Have you taken measurements? I would guarantee you've lost inches around your midsection from the first picture to the second. Even if you can't see the results yourself right away, it's hard to argue with a tape measure

Definitely noticeable - especially in your face/neck and upper arms. Keep at it!

One thing I've noticed is the weight loss/visual results never happen where you want them to happen at first. However, you've dropped 22 lbs! No question your pics show progress - but probably not where your mind WANTS to see progress.

I (and I assume many others as well) want to see progress in my gut/lovehandles/chest. However, so far most of my progress has been on my lower half. If I just look at my gut/lovehandles/chest, I don't feel as though I've made much progress. BUT - I can fit into pants that I haven't worn for ~4 years!

Progress is progress and 22 lbs is AWESOME progress. I assume you've noticed your clothes fitting a bit looser?

I'm right with ya.

Man Boobs aka Moobs: Check
Flabby Belly: Check
Second *kitten* on Back: Check

Right now I've lost more weight around my face and neck than anywhere else. With a shirt on I look skinny and hungry. With it off I'm basically fat nipple boy. I can pinch way more than an inch on my extra back flab but. Belly is almost tight though so I'm getting there.

Started at a 36" pant size. I'm in 32's now. My weight hasn't really changed much though. I think when you get close your weight loss itself tapers off but you keep getting skinnier.

Right now I've dropped about 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I'd flopped during Girl Scout Cookie season. (Gotta help the girl scouts right? Besides the boyscouts sell popcorn. LAME.)

I fluctuate alot right now. I do a Keto diet so I know that when I'm fully in Ketosis I drop weight like crazy but I'm not really any thinner. I've tested this. I didn't eat more than 30g of carbs per day for 2 months. Got down to 165lbs from 189. Ate Thanksgiving dinner and a whole lemon pie. Within 24 hours back to 189. I was crazy thirsty and just kept absorbing all that water. After going back to no carbs I went down to 176 in 5 days.
