                    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!0
- 
            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:)0

            GREAT job and in such a small amount of time too!! 
 I can definatly see your stomach, butt, and thighs have toned up/gotten slimmer!0
- 
            thank you pitbullgirl!0
- 
            Yup overall difference! Wish you could see it!0
- 
            Quite a difference..Keep it up0
- 
            thank you! i did see it once i took the pics.... cant wait to see what the next few weeks bring0
- 
            that is a huge difference! Goes to show the scale is NOT the best thing to go by.0
- 
            HUGE difference already! I can't wait to post mine...I just started yesterday 0 0
- 
            Check out those arms!0
- 
            wow only 5 lbs? You must have lost a lot of inches!! Good for you!! What a difference already
 edit: forgot to tell you. Your booty is shrinking!! and your arms look much thinner!0
- 
            Eeek! Thanks my mfp buddies!! This gives me so much motivation to keep on going.
 I need those hips and booty to shrink moreee. They will sadly be the last to go tho lol0
- 
            I see a big difference in your midsection and arms. You are doing a great job!0
- 
            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!0
- 
            Great motivation, you look amazing (:
 If it's not too weird to say- you're butt looks amazing.0
- 
            You look great, keep up the good work!0
- 
            Big difference! You MUST have gone down a couple of sizes...no? Congratulations and keep up whatever it is you're doing...it's working!0
- 
            Big difference! You look great! I cant believe that is only 5 lbs it looks like 15 or so! Well done:)0
- 
            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!!0

            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.0

            But your bum is going this makes me sad.                        0 this makes me sad.                        0

            Great drop! You look smaller all over. Looks like you lost a bunch more than 5 lbs.0
- 
            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 0 0

- 
            Great job! I can totally see a difference! Keep at it! 0 0
