I still can't see it!

I am 6 kilos down (from 104) and I honestly can't see any change at all in my body. I look at myself sideways on in the mirror and my tummy looks like it did when i started. A few friends have said I look a bit slimmer but I think they're just being polite.

I think maybe it's because I started off quite big? Hoping that the smaller I get, the more I'll notice!

    Totally normal. It took me like 30 lbs to notice. You can take some pictures though, and that will be more noticeable.

    Uuuuuurgh, it's so disappointing! I'm never going to get to 30lb before my wedding. :(

    A better way to see the changes is by taking pictures and putting them side by side.

    Is always hard for you to notice the changes , you see yourself everyday in the mirror and sometimes we don't see what everyone else does,

    I am looking at my pictues side by side and I still can't see a significant difference. It's so frustrating because I've worked so hard to lose 23 pounds. :sad:

    I think I look a tiny bit slimer but it looks like I only lost 5 pounds instead of 23. I am only 5'1 so 23 pounds should of made a bigger difference. It's kinda discouraging..
