So I have been struggling for most my life with my obesity. I have had gastric bypass and gained all but 60 lbs back. I have been using MFP to help me on my journey for a month now. I am down 10 wonderful pounds, I finally know what that FULL feeling is, and I can see it. Please be honest can you see it???

    It actually looks to me that it's come off your bum / hips /waist, do you measure yourself as well as weigh yourself?

    This can help boost up the esteem if you feel like nothing is happening. :-D

    Okay, you want me to be honest.. I can see it, yes, at your arms a bit and a little bit at your thighs and your hips.Not that much of a difference, but it is there.
    You know it's still a long way to go for you. But you made the first steps, and I think you can be VERY proud of your 10 lbs lost. Just keep it up. You will see, in time the changes will be far more visible. And the bigger the changes, the more it will motivate you.

    I see the lost in your neck, face area more than anywhere else, someone once told me, the first place the fat goes is the last place it leaves. I dont know if its true, but considering how unfair everything else with weight loss is I could believe it.

    Thank you all for taking a look and telling me you honest comments. I know it will take time, but I like the visuals lol. I do measure my neck, waist, and hips. I have lost about 2 inches in each!

    Yes! I certainly see the improvement! Keep up your work! Like others have said, measurements help boost are motivation when the scale doesn't reflect our work. But really, I think you are in the direction! :)

    LOL Shy is something I have never been. I took the pics in my underwear because I do not and will not own a bikini. This was the best way for me to visualize the change.

    To Everyone "GOD I LOVE THE POSITIVE, HONEST, CARING SUPPORT"

    I am tempted to do the underwear pics too. But. I'm only SLIGHTLY more reserved and hesitant. haha. I might change my profile pic from my sons face to mine.
