    There's a difference :) It's really noticeable in your face

    Looking good, and yes - the scale isn't always the best measurement tool. How you feel in your clothes and how you look in photos can really help when the scale doesn't reflect your efforts.

    Yes there is definitely a difference, especially in your face :) Seriously get rid of the scale or at least try not to care what it says because it is a total liar ;) My scale has barely budged (roughly 8 lbs lost in around 80 days I think?) but my body looks so much leaner and my clothes fits so much looser. I just put on a pair of summer pants that I have not fit into in 3 years and they are loose, yet scale has hardly budged. Not to mention the fact that I am so much stronger and fitter, probably than I have been in years :)

    Scales are just the fitness industries way of making tons of money ;)

    Like the others said, it's really noticeable in your face, though probably that's because your body is sorta hidden in the second pic... congrats on 18 pounds!

    YES! I can see it .

    your facial features remind me of a Biggest Loser contestant. I can't remember her name but she was AWESOME. She pulled a car, do you remember? She was so far behind everyone but she won against men too.

    Great job.

    There is definitely a difference! As well as pictures, you should take your measurements...then when the scale doesn't seem to be moving you can see how many inches you have lost. 18 pounds is great...be PROUD of yourself! :flowerforyou:
