Progress pic question

I also find that taking measurements can be more rewarding than pictures. For instance, according the my measurements I've lost over 5 inches on my waist, but I can't tell that much of a difference in the pictures.

Also for some help with pictures: Make sure you are standing in the same manner as the original photo. I noticed if I'm even a little bit more relaxed than the picture before it can throw off how the progress looks in the picture.

Happy Picture Taking!!

I'm honestly just really scared I won't see positive changes even though I've been working my butt off. that would be so discouraging to me

Be careful with this. If you go in with a negative attitude, it could affect the way you view yourself.
I take pictures weekly, and I compare them. If I'm having a good day, I can easily see the difference. If I'm feeling low, I'm critical of myself and can't see any difference. If you're doing it right, you're getting results. You said it yourself, you've been working your butt off. Go in with a positive attitude. You've been working hard and hard work pays off. If you sit down and look at the picture and you're confident in yourself, the changes you've been making and the work you've been putting in, you might have an easier time seeing the difference.
