Down a few lbs with comparison pics

Hey guys,

So I was starting to feel a little down the past while not seeing the results that I "thought" i should be seeing. I decided to do a comparison pic in the same clothes/position to see if there was a difference. I am honestly pleasantly surprised. I feel so much better that my eating well and working out is actually paying off.
I kept driving my husband nuts almost everyday...., "do you see a difference?", " where do you notice it most?" and all those annoying questions!


ETA: The first pic was taken 5 weeks ago, and the last was from earlier today, and about 5 lbs down!

Keep at it everyone and take pictures, it's so rewarding to see how far you can go. I have another 20 lbs to go till i feel like the old me again!

    Huge difference in your midsection. Great job!

    Thank you ! :)

    I'm glad that my midsection is slowly going away. Before I had my daughter, I had a nice flat tummy, but with a c-section and all that it's been hard to lose. They say where the weight was put on last, it will come off first, and this sounds about right!

    I have always had big hips/thighs/bum. I just wanna get it a bit smaller and toned looking and I'll be happy:)

    I see a big difference in your midsection and arms. You are doing a great job!

    WOW! What a huge difference! You look like you've lost a lot more than that. Are you tracking your body fat percentage? You are surely adding muscle and this is a great visual lesson in not paying too much attention to the scale. You have lost inces big time! I've only lost 4 pounds in tha last 4 weeks and was getting frustrated, but I think I'll take some pictures and hope they show changes like yours! Keep up the great work!

    Big difference! You look great! I cant believe that is only 5 lbs it looks like 15 or so! Well done:)

    Good idea!! I've been working hard for about 3 weeks...just started back in again and it's easy to get discouraged when the scale isn't moving down quickly!! I went ahead and took pics too at my 3 week mark so hopefully I will be able to see a change in the next few weeks! You look great! Keep it up!!

    I have gone down 1 size in the past 2 months for pants size, and i can get into mediums and maybeee some smalls in tops, depending where I shop.

    I know I have lost inches too, heres the break down for the 4-5 weeks .

    high waist -2
    low waist-3
    hips-1.5
    arms .5..... i think I may be measuring inconsistently there!
    Bust 1.5
    thigh 1.2

    so maybe all in all 10 inches total all over the body. When i look at it like that its amazing! Im trying not to go by the scales anymore, they are sooo misleading.

    In the past 2 and a half months I have only lost 13 lbs!

    Thank you for all ur kind words, sometimes this journey is soooo longgggg.

    Great drop! You look smaller all over. Looks like you lost a bunch more than 5 lbs.

    Great progress so far. Although the decrease midsection between the pics makes it look like an increase in boobage. This is an extra thumbs up :)
