I've lost 22 lbs in almost a year now, but when I'm looking at my progress pictures, I can't really see any difference. Maybe it's just me, since I'm obviously biased against myself, but can anyone here see a difference at all? Please be honest!

    Yes, you can see a difference, your shape is more defined and your tummy is flatter.

    I know how you feel though - I'm now 88lbs down and it still doesn't show dramatically on me because I was so big to start off with. I've only dropped one dress size, and my mum, bless her, says she can't see any difference.

    I still see myself at my highest weight, and I know this is very common.

    Well done on your loss, you've done great!

    Yes you can!

    Look at the little gap between your right arm and your waist which isnt in the first picture. Also your stomach is flatter in the second pic. You've definately got smaller :happy:

    Well done! 22lbs is a great achievement.

    Your thighs are much better defined now, and your shoulders have lost their fat. Your waist is skinnier as well. You've done really well!

    I hope this changes for you! :( 88 lbs is the results of amazing job, so don't let it get you down!

    And to the rest of you - this was exactly the boost I needed - thank you!! I'm still a bit blind to myself, like how my stomach is flatter (to me it's still just a big blob), but it feels good to know that it's only in my own head :happy: You guys are the best!

    Thank you! And I hope so, my weight around my waist is the one I want to lose the most :laugh:
    When I work out, I usually do cardio, but I've done the 30 Day Shred for a few days now and I'm also using the machines at the gym sometimes. Otherwise no, I don't use weigh workouts, but I do yoga and pilates which has helped with toning :smile:

    You look stunning, definitely going to have one very hot physique once you have achieved your goals.

    Your doing all the right things as yoga and pilates work your core throughout.
    I had a PT that worked me on gym rings(like trx) and it pulled sides and stomach in quite a bit....If you have Body Pump classes where you are they help change shape well too.
    I do think your so close to where you want to be....just the last small push!!

    You have more definition! You can see your muscles more clearly and your stomach is much flatter. You look incredible. Please be happy with your progress.

    Most certainly in your tummy!

    Have you tried measuring yourself? I go by what the measuring tape says versus photos. Plus it's nice to see where the weight is coming off first and how many inches smaller you are in certain areas.

    Look at how your arm hangs against your side almost vertical rather than at an angle, this must mean that your much slimmer than before, and your shoulders are more defined again another sign of reducing body fat. Keep up the good work.

    I definitely see a difference, especially around your middle. You just look generally more toned and leaner :) Well done :flowerforyou:
