    Do you track your measurements? That might be a good way to validate your progress! There is a brand called Myotape (I think that's what it's called) that hooks onto itself so it makes it easier to measure without a second pair of hands. It's available on amazon.

    Have you considered taking pictures, then taking them again a month or two later. Often that will show progress that you will miss otherwise.

    This. I was losing motivation for a couple months because the scale wasn't moving but then I remembered I hadn't taken measurements in a couple months and wouldn't you know, I had lost some inches even though the scale hadn't budged. It was an awesome feeling!
