Honestly... does it look like I have lost any weight? I weigh approximately 210 in the pink, and 204 in the grey... and in my opinion I feel like I just look like I have gotten fatter. :[

    it does look like you have around the waist, however you are at a slightly different angle on your 204 pic and showing a little more of your backside so that makes it a bit difficult to tell, but from what I see you can tell.

    I can't see any difference but hen it's only 6lbs (well done on those 6lbs though!) and it's only your stomach. Weight comes of other areas too :o)

    I have a length of string and I wrap it around my stomach, and tie a knot in it every few weeks. I can measure from teh start know to now and see I've lost 3" in total. Ant the scales say 9lbs, yet I think I look fatter today than I did a week or two ago :(
    The string doesn't lie though!

    I suppose if I keep taking pictures along the way, I will truly notice the difference.
    I was thinking every 10 lbs. but I got excited and did it early.

    I did similar, took a starting pic, then one three weeks later and couldn't see a difference in the photos.

    I'll just be taking one at teh "end" now, and I can look back at the starting pic as a reminder of how easily things can slip!

    Keep up teh good work, a scales victory is a good one to have!

    My honest answer is the pics look very similar, The one on the left looks slightly fuller.
    But, When i lost weight, the first most noticeable area was my face and neck. My biggest area, my belly took more than 20lb to change by any amount. But it did go from being hard and fat to softer and fat :) Clothes fitted looser , even though i didnt look a great deal different. Then not long after that, my shape started to change greatly. Make sure you do strength exercise as they will make a bigger difference to your appearance than just losing weight.
    So dont lose heart, it will come to you...

    I can definately see a difference.
    I believe there is a roundness to your back in the first photo that is not there in the second.
    Thats a hard place to spot without a photograph!

    People have always told me I don't look my weight.
    At 195 I wore a size 10 in women's Levis.

    I can see a small difference but at first when I started losing it was in my face shoulders and arms.
    I have a length of string and I wrap it around my stomach, and tie a knot in it every few weeks. I can measure from teh start know to now and see I've lost 3" in total.

    Great idea! I might have to try that :)

    I agree. Its better I think to do a full body shot because you can't really know beforehand which part of your body you'll lose the fat from. Yep around your waist is smaller but to be honest the mid-section (especially a side-view) is always going be the hardest place to notice a change in weight.

    Don't be disappointed though be proud of your scale achievement but take measures and also weight train.

    Honestly, I do not see a difference, However with that said, I do not think you look 204 pounds at all. Keep up the great work and keep up taking pictures. You will be glad you did when you hit goal :smile:

    5'3 My weight is 210lb (ish up and down atm) and my goal for now is 168 (12st) but hoping for 140 too afterwards!

    So we're pretty similar, god knows how you get away with looking like that!!
