Hey all! I just took another progress picture after losing another 10lbs. BUT, I really don't see much of a difference. I am focusing on my belly area because that is the only trouble spot I have at the moment! After 2 kids in the past 3.5 years it was getting out of control LOL! Everything else is toned and tightened! I can kind of see a little difference in the lower part of my belly but nothing that screams 10lbs LOL! What do you guys think? Should I add more strength work into my routine? I am running around 5-7 miles 5 days a week and doing strength 4 times a week. BTW I am 5'5". The first picture is after losing 20 lbs! The last pic I just took yesterday. The pics are from different distances so maybe it throws it off.

    I can see a difference. It is not a ton but is noticeable.

    I can see a little more sculpting round the pelvic bone specifically, however, for having two kids and such... You are amazing lol

    Look at your pictures upside down if you are having trouble noticing a difference.

    Yes I can you can tell you are getting a better toned mid section and more muscle than the fat. But you looked great from the beginning it just keeps getting better as far as I see. Keep it up

    I can definitely see a difference, great job!

    Your before belly looks like mine now (it actually might be a tad smaller, haha) and your after is where I want to be!

    I see that you're running a lot - much more than I am ATM. I also haven't incorporated strength training to my workouts, though I know I should, especially seeing your results.

    I can never spot a difference of only 10 lbs sorry, but on the positive side you look fine in both pics.

    I can see a little difference - there is a bit more definition near your hip bones!
