    You can definitely see the difference in your tummy. My tummy is just like yours. I plan to lose 69 pounds. I'm 5'3 and 204. I bet you would see a difference in inches. Keep up the good work and don't give up!

    I see a difference in the little bit of neck area we can see. When compared to the before pic, your neck area seems to be reduced as well. Don't be discouraged. Progress is happening!

    Big time difference are you kidding me. You're being too hard on yourself. You are doing GREAT..... Keep up the good work. And I do agree that after having kids the mid section never the same. But you are slimming down honestly.

    Thank you. i have always had issues with my body image so that probably is not helping. Hoping my mind can catch up with my body !!

    Look at your face, huge difference!! If you can't see that I give up:).

    You actually look like you've lost all over as well. Don't be so critical of yourself you are looking good!

    I see the difference. Believe me I understand, I lost 40lbs since last June and haven't even dropped a pant size, it's very discouraging, but we just gotta keep walking this long dusty road until we see that finish line. Don't give up, you're doing great!

    I'm right there with both of you . . I started at 208 and I've lost 25 pounds to 183 this morning and my progress looks exactly like yours at the top of the thread, I felt the same way. My stomach does not seem to be shrinking at all. But I know I must be doing an overall body shrinking because my size 16W pants are all falling off!

    It took me awhile before I starting to see any difference as well. But when my clothes started to get too big for me that's when I realized I was doing something right. Trust me when I say you'll get there too. It takes time and patience. Don't give up hope. You can do this. :)

    You see yourself everyday and the gradual changes aren't drastic enough for you to notice. But there is a difference.

    Did you take measurements before you started? If not, do so now. Waist, thight, chest, neck. What you may not see in the mirror will reveal itself on a tape measure.
