in Health and Weight Loss
hi everyone!! I am in my weight loss journey and have lost around 30 pounds in 5 months( F, 5'9, 160lbs) . I weight train 4 times and week and run twice a week. I am about 10 pounds away from my goal weight but have a problem...

I just don't think I look good without clothes on!!! lol I know weight training is supposed to help define the body more, but even with the weight training.. I don't notice in a different ( unless its an extremely slow transition) Not really looking for advice because I know I just have to keep at it... ( unless you think there is something I can do more) But has anyone experienced this and when did it all start coming together after your initial weight loss. I am happy I lost all this weight, but just kinda discouraging with not seeing the results that I want yet.

    Are you doing a progressive lifting program?

    Keep at it, and recognise that what you think your body looks like is probably a lot worse than what it actually looks like. I know that I have always been my worst critic and don't notice the changes unlike others (like my husband).

    Does "anyone " really look THAT good naked?
    I think everyone will criticise some part of their body when looking in the mirror.
    Even Slim Movie Actors are the first ones to say they don't really look like how they look in Films.
    I've always thought i looked better in underwear or clothes anyway....regardless of how Slim & Toned i am.
    But just keep doing what you're doing.

    I think that I look pretty good naked, not perfect and not up to media beauty standards but still damn good. It has taken me years to like myself this much and I still have down days.

    Keep at it. Odds are good that eventually, you'll like what you see. :)

    That's great!
    Don't get me wrong, i don't think i look terrible naked, but i just think i look better in underwear or clothes.
    In fact, i think people in general look better in underwear or clothes rather than seeing them naked (for e.g, if watching them on a Movie doing a love scene or something i think "just keep your clothes ON for god's sake" ).
    Maybe i'm just not a fan of nakedness. Lol

    You aren't going to gain a lot of muscle in 5 months while losing weight. You'll likely see more results once you switch to maintenance.

    Only 2 people get to see me naked. One thinks I look great. The other goes back and forth because she tends to be moody and fickle when it comes to her own body. One day it's great, the next it's horrible. No pleasing her.

    I think I look better naked than clothed. Or maybe I need better clothes!

    OP, what is your lifting program like?

    Ha!

    I think that is closer to true...

    My gf says I look great, and I believe I do to her.

    Anyone else I don't care that much. I look decent. After that it is just personal preference.

    I feel I look at home in a loose t shirt or skin tight bike riding jersey.

    Being comfortable in my own skin is what matters to me.
