Lost 40 lbs in 2 years but

Have you been doing body measurements? If you haven't, start now. If you're measuring smaller, you're getting smaller.
I can't imagine losing that much weight without losing inches too--and sometimes you'll lose inches instead of pounds, which can discourage those who don't know better.

I carry a lot of weight, most of it actually, in my belly/abs. I have lost 20 lbs but it is still there. I started taking measurements mid January and to date have lost 3" from my waist, 3.5" from my abs and 2.5" from my hips. It his hard to tell in the mirror since I still see it there sticking out. I can fit a smaller size...but still the pooch stays. I wish it was possible to target weight loss but sadly it doesn't work that way. Just stick with it and it will eventually happen.
