    This photo I have on my orginal post is not photoshopped. However, the photo I am going to post is photoshopped. I went to virtualweightloss.com and they took about 5 days to get it back to me. I knew it would be off though...I asked them to photoshop 50 pounds OFF....The resulting photo looks kinda like me NOW. (at 12 pound loss)

    Now there's something to smile about, haha!

    :flowerforyou: hi i am lynnie's sister, trust me you can do it just keep at it I stopped weighing myself everyday for a while because when you hit a certain stage and your not seeing any results if you go a week wthout weighing yourself and then you step on the scale and see that you've lost even 1 lbs it totally give you your confidence back sometimes I will go for two weeks just to see that i have lost 5 lbs or even 2 lbs if you get on that scale everyday and day after day you don't see the results you want to see it can get pretty depressing and then i think that caused me to want to eat so maybe try what i suggested it really did help me i just stopped focusing on losing a half lb a day and kinda just went with the flow for awhile, just please don't give up i have realized that i will never be able to give up the rest of my life i will have to battle with my weight but that's ok i'm stubborn and i don't like to lose lol lol if you ever need any support i'm right here just a click away:smile::smile: :smile:

    I can definitely see it in your belly! I couldn't at first but with the side by side, that made it MUCH easier to see!

    I started out at 202 and I'm at around 10 pounds lost now. I personally don't see a difference AT ALL, however, I've been measuring and I know that I lost 5 inches off my waist. Also, I was able to ditch the size 20 jeans for the size 18's and those are starting to need a belt. No one in my family has commented about how I look so I'm pretty sure it's just not very obvious yet.

    I think when you get to around 15-20 pounds, you'll really start to notice the difference in yourself. People around you will be complimenting you as well and that will just give you positive reinforcement for your own feelings. Awesome job so far and keep it up!!! You can do this and we'll be waiting for those before and after photos!!!! :smile:

    Don't worry about how fast you lose it - it is a lifestyle change, so you have years to go! :laugh: You'll make it!

    One of the best things I've found is to wear the same outfit when you take comparison pictures... yeah, a little annoying, but you'll see the differences SO clearly!

    Don't you dare give up! :drinker:

    WOW! Everyone is so wonderful, thank you! My Mom came out today for Memorial Day and she hasn't seen me in since I started this. She didn't say anything...no one has said anything about any changes. So I guess it's like ngwife4life said, it's not going to be noticeable untill I'm closer to 20 pounds. And Supagurl, I'm going to take your advice and not get on the scale for awhile. When I'm ready, I will....but I'm not going to set up a date with it. I'm gonna play hard to get...LOL!!

    Thanks again everyone....I'll be honest, I was ready to throw in the towel the other day. I didn't exercise today, but then after dinner I just felt like I really needed to get back out there...so I walked for a half an hour (had to get back for the two year olds bath). All your kind words were running through my head as I walked.

    This is a very humbling life experience and I am extremely thankful for all of you that replied!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    You are going to do great. Never give up! And just realize this isn't a sprint! It's a long walk through the rest of your life. You have forever to keep working at getting it right. I can't wait until you post that someone complimented you and how good you are feeling. Patience is a virtue!

    Don't worry about seeing visible changes just yet. It will happen as you continue. By the way, I definitely see a difference in your tummy area.

    I've been working very hard at this since the beginning of April, and I haven't seen the scale move very much. However, I've been dropping inches, so I know that it's working. It takes time! Be encouraged!!! :happy:

    Yeah, I can tell!
    but I know how you feel! I lost 12 and so far I don't see any change...I am still wearing the same size clothing and all, so I'm just powering through it, knowing soon I will be able to see the difference!
