I started this a little over 4 months ago and have lost 35 pounds. I am disappointed that there does not seem to be much of a difference, but I will not get discouraged this time!

    I can definitely see a difference. Have you taken your measurements? Sometimes that's the best way to see a real difference.

    Do you feel different? When I started I was doing Zumba every week for several months and I couldn't see a difference BUT I felt different! I could walk up a ton of stairs and not get winded, I had more stamina in all aspects of my life. So don't get discouraged, something is changing!!!

    I have to disagree with you...You chin is definitely more defined now. Keep on trucking, Killer! Go another 4 months and then another and then another...That difference will come!

    Wear the same clothes in your before & after pics! =]

    That will help you see how things fit differently and will help you see the difference

    I can see a difference - your face (neck / chin) and your wrists. If you had worn a similar arm length top we would have noticed more :)

    So can i, from the bits of flesh you can see, your wrists and forearms look smaller and there is a difference in your face. Do you measure yourself? An inch here and an inch there might not to overly noticable, but it all adds up and means you are definelty going in the right direction. The total inches lost makes me more motivated than what the scales say.

    I can see a difference. Keep at it. We're always our own biggest critics. Just keep up the good work.

    It is a bit hard to tell with the different lighting and outfits but I also definitely see a diference in your face and arms.

    Take measurements - sometimes they tell a better story than the scale.

    i can see it in your face. Take your measurements and try to wear the same clothes when you take photos. It's there (or rather not there) just keep working at it :)

    I totally see if in your face and arms. You should wear the same outfit as the first pic to get a better comparison. Your heart feels a differance trust me. You're doing wonderful!!
