I started this 2 months ago and have since lost nearly 24 pounds.. I've been feeling So much thinner and prettier... Well while walking to the store I passed by one of those buildings that has reflective windows and saw my reflection... I still look fat and "rolly". Don't get me wrong, this is just motivation to continue BUT I feel a bit sad that I dint look nearly as good as I was thinking.

    I have only lost 8 pounds, but I have had two people tell me they can see a difference already. I don't see it. At all. BUT I was also told I will be the last person to see it. I know that doesn't help a lot, but I bet if you ran into someone who hasn't seen you since you started, they would definitely notice the changes!

    Ya, those mirrors are not designed to give a clear reflection, they are sort of like funhouse mirrors with their distorted pic. Keep it up, you have lost a good amount.

    Don't lose hope! I know where you are comming from. A couple of years ago I lost 40 lbs but only went down, just barley, 1 pant size. I was so discuraged and thought that i just might as well get used to being 'a big girl' cause I was never gonna get thin. I really wish i would have kept going because my body was just getting started but instead i gave up.

    well not this time around! We will do this and in the end we will live much better! One meal, One pound, One mile, One Day at a Time!!

    You always look better when you feel better! We are our own worst critic too. I know what you mean though. I feel like that lots!

    to be fair, those things are all sorts of distorted. It's not really showing you what you're looking like. AND besides, if you feel good, you look good.

    Trust yourself and how you feel and not what you see or how you think you appear.

    Lol. You're judging your looks based on your reflection off a glass building? You might as well went into one of those fun-house mirror rooms or something. Just keep on logging and losing, and you'll meet your weight-loss goals.

    i know how you feel...going from 240 to 230 to 220 make a big difference in clothing size, but I didn't feel normal-ish until i was closer to 210...Depending on how tall you, give yourself 10 more pounds and you'll see it! Trust me! And those mirrors make everyone look rolly :)
