    Great job! The way the shadows look on your belly, I bet a side view would show change you'd notice more.

    And definitely measure, yes. Pick constant spots (the navel is always a good constant one for one), because if you just pick the biggest spot each time it won't show what you've actually lost. I learned that with my thighs. I used to always measure the biggest spot, but I'd lost the top half of my biggest spot before I realized that the measurement wouldn't catch that loss. Now I use the same spot, not necessarily the biggest.

    I don't know what everyone else is seeing because I see a great difference near the small of your waist (right under bust) your narrower. Do measurements you will start seeing it. Also the last weight you put on is the first to go, so belly fat is pesky im still working on mine.

    I can see a difference on your belly and around your waist at the back. I'm almost the same height as you (maybe half an inch taller) and am down around 13lbs and still don't see a difference yet, I think it jsut takes time

    There are small, almost unnoticeable differences. Like your boobs aren't spilling out as much making 'underarm' bulges anymore.

    But mostly, you just need to be patient.

    I heard it takes about 20lbs to see a difference. Stay motivated!

    It takes more time to see results....I'm 5 feet tall and I didn't see any change until I lost the first 25 pounds

    Congrats on the 8! It's frustrating I know (I'm 5'1") but really, about 15 lbs or so is when you will start to see. I swear I lost the first 30 just in my fingers and feet because I hardly noticed anything! Trust in the scale and don't give up.

    I agree! Measurements are key for seeing changes when your are initially starting with your weight loss journey! I was amazed at the inch loss when I had only lost 10 pounds and some people end up losing tons of inches and the number on the scale is not the true meaning of overall success. I actually had my husband hide the scale from me for 4 weeks because I was becoming too obsessed with the number on the scale.

    I see small differences. But your face and breast are where you'll see those first fat losses. Also I think its more feeling better, like more energy, better workouts, better sleep, those kinds of things that those first losses change. More so then your physical changes anyway. Both are great! Good Job!

    I'm 5'1 and i didn't even change a clothing size until I had lost about 20 pounds. You'll get there! Are you doing any type of strength training?

    I am, not even just to meet my goals but simply because I like strength training lol
