    You are doing wonderfully! Listen.. you are losing and I can tell you are smaller. You are just the same shape and smaller. That is what you are discouraged about. I totally understand and many of us have been there. You are losing all over instead of just one place. Keep on track …as you lose more you'll start to get the shape you want.
    It is the injustice of weightless and hard work.. you can't choose where you lose it first. You can do it! :)

    You definitely look like you've lost. You can't compare those pics, one is a distance, one is closer up. The most important part is do you feel better? Don't give up because of a silly mirror!!!

    there is a huge difference, keep those gloves on kiddo, cause every day is a step closer to your goal.... Only last night when I was working out, I thought to myself..."Im never gonna get under 100kg" But then I told myself that I started this journey at 116.9 kg and now I'm 112.9 thats alot closer to 100kg than before! LOL So I decided to keep going and just not quit, cause one day Im gonna wake up and see 99kg =)

    My tummy and upper tummy area is alot like yours...but worse!!

    Patience really is a virtue =)

    There really is a difference, really and truly. Look at the top of your arms and again below the elbow. You've lost several inches there. You've lost some from your face just on the bit we can see from your ear across to your mouth and your stomach is smaller. If you can't tell from the way that your clothes fit would you be able to trust the tape measure? My rear looks just the same size to me but the tape measure says that my hips are 3" smaller and I have two pairs of underpants that fall down.

    I also have the baby pouch belly, I stopped wearing a bikini decades ago so it doesn't bother me too much.

    I can barely see your face but I can tell by your jaw line that you've lost a lot in your face. You're slimming down all over so you're not seeing the whole picture. You're probably focusing on your tummy. You're looking good. Keep up the good work. :)

    Are you taking measurements? If not, I'd suggest starting to track bust, waist & hips at least. Measure once a month or so.

    ....After kids i just feel like my mid section will never look good >.< !!!
    Exercise. As a guy I've lost the same amount of weight and it's night and day (at least that's what they tell me) because while the fat is dropping muscles are coming up.

    You look great and good job ... it does take adjustment time after losing weight. It seems that you sometimes see yourself as you used to be and not the fitter, healthier and more toned new you. good luck on this adventure!

    Funny you should say this, because I've lost 1 stone and I think you can only tell this on the front facing picture rather than the side facing picture (see attachments) ... Anywho well done that's so well keep going

    I think you can Deffo see a difference! I lost 56lbs recently but only dropped one dress size, I think I don't see it but people I haven't seen for awhile notice it more. Wish I took measurements now! Well done!

    I'm the same way. I'm almost 30 pounds down but I only notice a change when I have clothes on. Just in bra and panties I think I look the same.
