OK, so this might sound really stupid, but, today I was browsing through some pictures I have on my computer. I have been taking various shots of my size since January and putting them in a file so I can see my progress..

Now I Know I have lost weight and I know I am smaller. But my stomach has always been my enemy.

Anyway yesterday I took a photo and put it in my file next to another two I had and I noticed a difference!! Not a massive difference granted, but the difference nonetheless.

On the first pictures my belly was just a mass of wobble with no shape at all, it just flopped in whatever direction gravity was pushing it... I hated laying on my side and when the dear husband came over a cuddle *cue suck in and tense up*

The last picture I noticed that my sides were getting a shape!! I don't know how to post pictures on here, but it is on my profile.

Only a silly WOW! moment, but it has put a smile on my face knowing what I am doing is SLOWLY working... Can't wait to hit the gym later!

*that is all* LOL :)

    It's always the little things!!! My stomach is the worse for me and I noticed that it's been going down since I've been wearing the wrap when working out. It helps to keep your stomach in when working out. I love it lol Congrats again!!

    That is AWESOME!

    Pictures help me soo much too, cuz without them, I would've given up already. My weight has stayed the same while my body is transforming, so I find the Pics to be soooooooooooooooooo helpful.

    Consistency is Key! KEEEp it up!

    Not silly at all! I have the same issue. The first thing I noticed was the same area. Made me see that hard work does make change. The small changes are the ones that keep us going! Congrats!

    That's awesome Emma, way to go!! It's totally the "non scale" victories that are such a thrill - I can absolutely relate :)
  • You think it isn't a huge change. I don't. I think it's a huge change! You look great!

    What wrap do you wear?.. If I could get rid of the cellulite in upper leggs & shrink the Baby fat (which I am hoping that the workout on the elliptical will help) I would be one Happy Lady!!!..Congrats on the difference.. Keep pushing on...Thats what my Hubby keeps telling me...

    What do you mean wrap? Sorry if that is a dumb question LOL.

    I was working out all the date of the photos and it is has taken...

    10 WEEKS and 2 days to get from first pic to last pic...

    And I have another 10 weeks until my holiday, I so cannot wait until I compare my pictures in June with these ones!
