Body transformation without obvious weight loss - photos?

Scales can't tell you the full story, and the weight fluctuates every day, especially if you're a woman and your lady days are approaching. So I'm wondering if you have experience seeing the same (or just slightly changed) weight on the scales, but feeling lighter and with visible differences in the body.
Any photos would be a great motivation.

Same weight in both. Huge difference in how I look/feel with weight lifting. The only time I pay attention to the scale is when I’m trying to cut weight for a competition. I think it’s more beneficial to pay attention to how you look/feel to measure progress

This is only around a 4 pounds difference. And you cant really see a difference. But I can feel the difference in these shorts!!!
I never show above my knees bc I hate my thighs. I'm using these shorts as motivation to see how much I can lose before the 14th so I can wear these for my best friends birthday3 -
@DezYaoified I definitely see a difference! Way to go!1

The both of you are doing amazing, I can definitely see your progress and it's motivating me to continue counting calories and start with some weight lifting.1

Same weight in both photos, lot more muscle and less fat in second, think I dropped over 5% bodyfat between the 2, have lost even more bodyfat over the last year, but am only just starting a cut right now so am fluffier than I will be in 4 months time when I hope to have dropped below 20%

Gd dog, look at that bicep and shoulder.1 -
From April 2014 to August 2018, same weight.
Running a slow, really slow, often derailed, recomp has certainly improved my fitness level, strength, and appearance.
Cheers, h.

Mine was scale dropping 20lbs but still was in my fat pants sigh* then finally lost a few more pounds got back into my old shorts their tight but I can button them!!! You’d think 20lbs would have had a difference in clothing but nope 👎.Had to pass even further to get a change. Even then still far away from my goal weight.0

Incredible!!
Can you share what you're doing (and your age if you're willing to share, cause, dang!)??
Goes to show that even what we would think of as just loose tummy skin that won't go away, does go away with strength training. Truly inspiring!0
