    I'm right there with you girl. I just keep telling myself if I lost those 9 pounds I can lose 9 more. Just use it as motivation! You got this! :)

    I bet you do you know. People tell me if I've lost weight that I lose it off my face a bit, keep at it :)

    And it is so frustrating to be told "I can see it in your face". Awesome. Because it was my fat *kitten* and gut that I was hoping would be reduced first!

    get the tape measure out and see if you have lost some inches - and I bet your jeans are a bit looser...... sometimes I look at myself and think I still look like I did last year - but I do not - and I have saved a pair of size 20 jeans to put on now and then to remind me I have lost. Our brain are a bit weird sometimes but if you have lost 9lb then you will look different!!!

    True. I know I am comfortably wearing pants I could barely button a few weeks ago. And my sweater options have multiplied since some older ones are starting to fit again. :happy:

    Measurements measurements measurements. I cannot stress it enough that you should take measurements once a month. In two months I lost barley 6 lbs and even didn't lose anything for another month but my inches flew off. Also pictures (all done the same way) your eyes adjust to how you look and sometimes looking at that pic is all you need.

    Yup, I actually took a picture on 10-14 and another yesterday 10-25, and wearing the same outfit (workout clothes), I can see a difference. Posted on my profile if anybody wants to see what 11 days of dedicated effort did for me. Can't see it in my street clothes, but it definitely shows in the close fitting workout gear. Lost some belly roll.

    I don't judge too much by sight either. The fact I need a whole new wardrobe & underwear means a lot to me (apart from having no money to buy new clothes) People close to me notice my weight loss in my face, but I have a round face which now shows more shape so I'm glad they notice it.

    Others will see it when we can't. I've lost 55lbs but I look in the mirror and see the same old me most of the time. I've dropped 5 dress sizes so I know there is a big difference. Hopefully my brain will catch up soon lol. Also, make sure you do exercises to shape your body as you lose and hopefully that'll help you notice more differences. If you just diet then you will just end up a smaller version of you.

    Did you measure yourself before and now?
    It should be visible in the centimetres...

    I already see the difference in the pants I am wearing. :)
