Ugh! Can anyone even tell?

I've been at this since January and I don't really see a change.

28.2 pounds lost and it should be twice that much ugh. I hate this "before pic" so much. We were in the butterfly house and it was like 100 degrees outside and about twice that much inside the "butterfly area" Apologies for that nasty pic.

Can you guys even tell at all?

Are you kidding me? I can definitely see a difference. Your picture on the right looks a lot smaller than the one of the left. Your torso in circumference looks a lot smaller.

I think I'm just harder on myself. You know how you never can tell on yourself because it's *you*?

Holy cow, well you move a lot faster with the weight loss... I didn't even get a chance to see the pic.  It said it was no longer available, did you take it down that fast?  The first person could have been fibbing you.. I want to see too!

I can definitely tell the difference. You look so much smaller! Keep going and congratulations on all your success!

I didn't move it at all? The link isn't working?

I still can't see it... and I was fibbing about the first person fibbing.    I just want to add that you did a great job losing 100 pounds.  Gaining some back may not have been in the plan but it happen, so just  keep on going.  Good luck.

It won't work for me either..it said it had been removed...

If you guys remove the space in the link, you should be able to see the pictures. =) it should read "...heather_dw..." not "heathe r_dw." CC breaks up links for whatever reason if you don't do a hyperlink.

Also, Heather, I can tell you have lost weight, as well. =) Good job!

i can definitely see a difference :) don't give up!

it is so hard to see the slow changes in yourself; afterall, you see yourself everyday! maybe try to use a particular pair of pants or an outfit to track your progress with how they fit, or break out the tape measure once a month to see it in numbers that way.

anyways, you're doing great, keep it up! :)

I can see the difference!  And 28+ pounds is a toddler....so that is a significant amount of weight!

Wow, you can totally see a difference.  You look great!  Especially since in the other pics you look not nearly as smiley.  But, I know exactly what you mean.  I've dropped over 40 pounds and don't really see a difference in myself either.  But, online friends and hubby says he can tell.  And in RL, nobody has said anything.  Again, over 40 lbs and not a noticable difference.  Unfortunately, I think it has to do with size.  It seems that once you lose about a 10% difference at a larger size that people tend to notice.  Just a guess from what I've heard others say.  Best of luck and keep it up!

Yesss! I can totally see a difference!

DEFINITELY see a difference!!!! slow and steady wins the race!! haha take your time and it will be better for you in the long run!

Major difference, dear.  You're doing wonderful, don't give up.  :)

Thanks guys! I was feeling sort of bummed out because I had thought that if I started in January, that by the time we went on vacation in october, it would be DRASTIC. However, it didn't work out that way so that's been a bone of contention for me.

holy smokes! thats a ginormous difference!! you dont see it!!!??! dangg, good job!!

Thank you so much for the information.  I will think of your fondly every time in the future that your little tip helps me out!  :)  Um it ain't gonna cost me much right.. like it ain't gonna cost me "an arm and a leg"  ROFLMAO...hahahaha...  Seriously, thanks :)

Now for the picture.  I can tell you lost some weight too.  Not enough for most people to start commenting on.  Remember sometimes we can look different just because of the clothes we wear and most people will not mention a touchy subject like weight loss unless they are sure it is really happening.  Good luck to you in your journey.

CONGRATS on your loss so far!  I can see a difference for sure!  How many calories are you eating??  are you doing any sort of exercise?

It's slow and frustrating but is SOOOO worth it in the end!

Keep up the great work!  We are all here for you!

~H~

OMG! you can totally tell! congratulations.

Definitely see a big difference - especially in your waist size!  WAY TO GO!!!!
