    I see a difference!!! youll get there no worries! For me ive only lost 10 lbs but i can notice some inches lost but i can tell my body feels different, less jiggly belly and more firmness even with the little bit lost! Keep it up! feel free to add me. What workouts are you doing? and calorie intake?
    KEEP IT UP!!! every little bit adds up = ]

    I see a big difference! Good job!

    Most people never notice the difference in themselves, and bigger people usually take longer to see results. I had to lose 30 lbs before ANYONE (not just me) noticed.

    right now im eating between 13-1500 calories depends how hungry i am. as for workouts i try and go for nightly walks/jogs after my hubby gets home the elliptical squats and currently doing the 30 day plank challenge

    Thats great! keep it up! I just restarted the 30 day shred( started it 1 month ago and only got to day 3 due to some other things going on) but i love it!!! I've also been doing the hiphop abs, it sounds odd but it actually motivates me especially when im sluggish feeling and dont want to work out and its a good burn! I am making sure to remember myself that its not just lbs, its inches and also to take progress pics and see a difference in toning up and my body shape coming back. = ] You got this!

    Until there is a HUGE noticeable difference, I would suggest taking measurements. So, you may not notice, but the measuements are proof. BUT I do see a differenc. Especially in how wide your hips and waist are.

    Your right. My hubby saw a difference after 5lbs because he sees me naked. But it wasn't until 20 lbs(before I joined MFP) that people at work started to notice. Probably bacause all my clothes are baggy.

    Your body is actually super similar to mine. Have you had a child? I havent really seen any one with the same shape as mine. May I "freind" you?

    I think the reason you arent noticing is bc your body is getting narrower (good!). I know the feeling bc I lose the same way. I feel like my stomach looks the same no matter what weight Im at bc my body just shrinks altogether in size the same way your's does. I just get smaller and smaller before I actually look skinnier

    i still have a bit to lose and im losing my motivation,

    What people tend to forget is that there is a mental aspect to weight loss as well. Often we are our own biggest critics unfortunately :( First off there is DEFINATELY a difference!! And it's a noticeable one! Take lots of pics cause they can help remind you that your body IS changing! :) As my boyfriend has said to me, you are shrinking! :P

    I see the difference - your before pic looks like mine 17lbs ago. Trust me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, just keep pushing and give your body time!

    If you haven't already, take measurements, photos.. it helps a lot. I didn't notice the difference in my own losses until a week or so ago.

    I can DEFINITELY see a difference!! and GOOD FOR YOU!! 17 pounds is amazing!! Don't you dare lose your motivation-if everyone can see a difference now, imagine how much of a difference you'll see in another 17 pounds down!! Just keep up what you're doing because it's obviously working!! "If you're tired of starting over again, stop giving up." One of my fav motivational quotes. hit up pinterest for some good motivation pics :0)

    that is exactly how i feel !!

    if you are like me, it happens like this bc you are small framed and naturally narrow so the fat really has no where to go (theres not a lot of width on our bodies). you will shrink to the point of pretty tiny bodied, and thereafter you will start to get skinnier. you dont expand in width much either when you gain so gaining/losing is less noticable than on a different body type
