October 2011 ~ before my journey

Easter 2012 ~ about 4 months into the journey

Maybe it's cause I see myself day in and day out. Or perhaps its the fact that I can't see past my boobs anyway when I look down but I don't really see any change and it's ticking me off. The only people who mention anything are family (hubby and my mom) or good girl friends who know how hard I'm working... basically people who "have to" notice and be supportive so I don't really know if they're being genuine or just being good supportive friends/family.

So I turn it over to you complete strangers who don't have to be nice... Can you see any changes? I know they're not the best pictures but I don't have anything better.

    I can see a lot more definition in your waist for sure. It also looks like your hips are slimming down too. Keep up the great work!

    Yes, you can definitely see that there is more space between your chest and your stomach, and also your stomach looks smaller in relation to your legs too!

    Good work! How much have you lost? Looks like at least 50.

    Keep it up!

    blessings.

    Its hard to tell with the smock over the tank, but i would say yes. It looks like your stomach is flatter under your boobs. Your undershirt caves in more in the second pic.

    IDK...the clothes are hiding it- so for sure the waist line (belly area) looks smaller in brown than the blue. you need better pics for sure, like side view, to be honest. try no cover up or wear loose fitting clothes next time.

    Not yet...9lbs isn't awhole lot when you have so much to lose.

    But hang in there. It's usually hardest for the person losing the weight to notice the changes themselves anyway!

    You are off to a great start, keep it up!!

    You can definitely tell that you have lost in the tummy area! =) Your face looks slim too. You look great after only 4 months! Keep it up and don't be so hard on yourself. I say the best way to really see results is to take a look at how your clothes are fitting you nowadays. ;)

    I can see it, but I know exactly how you feel. Some days I feel like I can see the weight off me and then there is other days I don't fell like it. It is like my mind is playing tricks on me. Inches tell me no lie though, and that is what I am working off of.

    Thanks! It's about a 35-40 pound loss so far.

    I've also gone from a size 24 to a 16/18 in pants.

    This isn't meant to be derogatory.

    In the first picture, your boobs and stomach stick out about the same.

    In the second, there is a large gap between the two.

    So, yes! I can see it!

    Great job!
