    Have someone else measure you if possible.

    You have some obvious progress- but it is a slow progress and only seems to get slower. Keep up the good work.

    If you think you hit a plateau then change something either diet or exercise. Eat 10% cals more a day (or 10% less). Have an intense cardio week, or an active recovery yoga week, then go back to your normal routine.

    It's likely you won't see the difference after your experiment week, but the week after-once you're back to normal.

    I can relate to what you are feeling. I have more weight to lose than you but an encouraging husband who is assuring me he sees a big difference although the scales and measuring tape are not going as quickly as I would like. Hubby tells me "you didn't put that weight on in a day and it won't come off in a day". He knows too since he lost 40 pounds over the course of a year. If you feel better, please focus on that and keep going as I too see a difference in your pictures. Look for non-scale victories! :)

    Thanks so much. I've just been eating more (eating around my BMR) and I have a bowflex that hubby bought. I do that 4-6 times a week. I have been alternating legs, arms/back /chest shoulders, and not a lot of cardio but 2 times a week ....I should try a little more cardio! :D Thanks everyone!

    After finding my initial measurements on a post-it note on my desk... (oops....) and carefully measuring again, I can see I have indeed lost a total of 5 inches all over my body!!!!!!

    Whoa, huge difference!!!! Do you seen how incredibly different your belly, hips, back, and arms look between the before and now pictures? Amazing progress!

    And good to see that you discovered your initial measurements! You can track them on here too-- it even generates graphs of your changes over time, which are really nice to see!

    Weight and measurements are most accurate after awakening... This prevents the fluctuations of daily fluids from impacting your measures. The photos are definitely showing marked progress. Clothing sizes can fluctuate somewhat with regard to styles so make sure you are comparing style A to style A... I wear 32 in some pants, 34 in others and 36 in others... It depends on the cut. Some 32s (even relaxed fit) will not even think about buttoning but other brands/styles fit snug but well (better than the 34 in that style)... In time your measures should reflect the progress... You definitely are making progress... I can tell also that the way the pants are fitting in the two photos.. the first is a snug fit while the second appears looser...Best wishes on further progress.
