edited September 2024 in Health and Weight Loss
I have logged in for 40 days now. In 40 days ive managed to loose 21lbs. BUT I see no change except my face. BUT family members I saw on xmas who havent seen me since September at my cousins wedding noticed it & was complimenting me all night. Jeans I bought a few weeks ago fit perfectly & now are falling off even though I dont see a change in my hips or stomach. Last night I was able to take my jeans off without unzipping them which obviously means there too big now! lol I also bought a new bra & showed it off to my fiance who said "wow it looks good & your getting curves as well" THIS MADE MY NIGHT! But I still dont see it.

Im logging in everyday, exercising 5-6 days a week & obviously having results but I still feel blah! :sad: BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP! My goal is 50lbs down by June in time for summer then my last 30lbs down by xmas.

Sometimes you just need to vent, even if know one is reading this, it helps to get it all out! I was told to just keep up everything im doing & in a few months im definitely gonna see a change. I know weight loss is a journey & doesnt happen over night. It took me 9 months to gain the weight so it will probably take me 9 months to get it off.

I am going to continue everything im doing! Logging in everyday & going to the gym 5-6 days a week. And I MUST keep remembering "DONT TRUST THE SCALE! EVEN THOUGH IT STAYS THE SAME OR SAYS I GAINED, I COULD BE GAINING MUSCLE & ALSO LOOSING IN INCHES!" I have a bad habit of stepping on the scale everyday.

    I feel the same way..... when I look in the mirror I feel that I look the same. I have lost 18 pounds in two months I feel it in my clothes, I think its just our minds playing tricks on us. Like there is no way I could have lost that much.

    You are doing great!! Keep it up. We don't see ourselves as others do. I look in the mirror and see the young skinny person I used to see. Others don't. And now that I have come to the realization that I am fat, I see that and don't see the pounds that I am loosing. My hubby tells me the truth and I am so grateful for that!! Friend me if you wish.
