I had lost 4lbs. before I came back to MFP. I've lost 20lbs. since I came back , January 6. It has taken me 3 months to lose these 20lbs and I feel great, but do get discouraged (sometimes) at how slow it seems to be coming off. Do any of you go through the same thing?

    I can see a difference. You are coming along great. I have also lost 24lbs(I just haven't updated my ticker yet)since Feb 1st. I have 15-20 more to go. I don't get discouraged, I don't want it to come off too quick and I have been losing pretty consistantly. But sometimes I wish it were July already so I could be closer to my goal.

    I can definitely tell! You are smaller all around. Slow and steady is the way to keep it off, right?

    Thank you all. It's a long road ahead, but like someone said, slow and steady wins the race. We can do this!

    I can tell a difference! You're doing great. Sometimes it helps to tell the difference if your pictures are taken while you are wearing the same thing each time you take photos. That works best for me to see how my clothes fit on me differently.

    You look fantastic! Definitely tell a difference and 20lbs since January is pretty freaking awesome! That is roughly 5 lbs a month which is a good healthy loss. Keep up the good work you will reach your ultimate goal in no time!

    Yes totally! I am right there with you!!! I am down 20 and wasn't sure if I could see a difference. I found I could really tell in my stomach and my face if you do a side by side.

    I totally see a difference! Especially in your side view, you're slimming down your tummy nicely!!! It's always harder to see changes in our own bodies because we live in them. Somedays I feel like I've made no progress and then I meet up with family and they're all like, "You look awesome! How much weight have you lost!" and then I feel better.

    I can definitely tell a difference. You're doing great! It took me about 7 months to lose 32 pounds. I agree that slower is better. Good luck reaching your goal!

    You are doing GREAT!!! It took me over a year to lose 40 so, i understand but, we just have to keep pushing. 20 in 3 months is actually not bad at ALL!! You can definitely see the difference!

    Slow and steady wins the race! Frustrating but, we will get there!! :-)

    You're doing great! and yes can definetely see a difference. it has taken me 7 months to get down 27 pounds, but lost alot in inches. keep taking pictures and maybe measure. you will see differences in one of them when you feel like the scale isn't motivating you. And keep doing what your doing - Wonderful Job!

    You look great! Those were a great 24# that you worked off of yourself! You can see the difference in your arms and stomach areas. I can see it. Your arms look toned more and skinnier! I can't wait to lose at least 20 pounds. Almost there, but I have at least a total of 70 more pounds to loose. Such a big number.... That's sure going to take a while. CONGRATS on your 24# loss!
