You be the judge

So, even though everyone tells me not to look at the scale, I can't help it, and can't help but be dissappointed that it literally has not budged in MONTHS. I've stayed between 125-130lbs for the past 4 months or so

But, at the same time, my clothes definitely feel looser, and my body feels different. So, today, I tried on a dress that I bought a few months ago, and took a picture of myself in, a few months ago.

So the first pic is from February, and the second pic I took this morning.

I am the exact same weight on the scale in both pics... what do you think? Can you see a difference from February to today?

I think I can see a small difference... which is my motivation to stop looking at the damn scale!!

Oh, and I'm still sans bra in both pics... which I could NEVER do before

My poor, lost, forgotten boobs

Re: You be the judge

You look great!! You definitely look more toned in the second picture. Stop looking at the scale, whatever you are doing is working!

Re: You be the judge

You look a lot more toned!! I love that dress it is really cute. Don't let the scale get you down. You are healthier trust me even if it doesn't show on the scale.

Re: You be the judge

Beth- there is a definite difference! You look very fit and toned in the second picture. Your stomach is also a lot smaller. You look fantastic! Have you kept track of your measurements? When I was younger and working out religiously, my weight didn't budge but I was between a size 2-4 and very toned.

Re: You be the judge

I can see a difference. Your arms and legs look more toned and your stomach looks smaller. I'm not even lying or trying to me nice lol...I mean it!! (Sorry I had to put that disclaimer in because I want you to know i'm being 100% honest here!!) You're def. more toned!

I had to edit because I was looking again...and your thighs look much smaller too!! I know its hard to see the difference on ourselves. But its totally there! the longer I look at the pics the more differences I can spot.

Re: You be the judge

You looks smaller overall! I see the biggest difference in the waist and hip area!

Hot mama!

Re: You be the judge

I see a difference in your overall shape. Your waistline is a lot more defined in the second pic.

Re: You be the judge

I can absolutely see a difference - you're tightening up!

Re: You be the judge

Definitely a difference. Oh...I LOVE your hair in picture #2!

Re: You be the judge

I thought so... but you all confirmed what you've been telling me... the number on the scale is absolutely MEANINGLESS, especially when you are consistently working out.

So, I'm going to just keep doing what I'm doing, and take pictures every few months to verify that it's working!

Thanks all!

Re: You be the judge

You can definitely see the difference! You look fabulous! I would trade my boobs in any day to be able to wear cute sundresses without a bra!

Re: You be the judge

i def see a difference! you look great!!

ETA: how tall are you? and what weight are you actually trying to achieve?

i only say this because if you are more muscular now, you are going to weigh more than you think you should. i am 5'5" and weigh probably 130. i NEVER weigh myself, i only know from doctors visits

but people always think i weigh less or should weigh less. so dont be deceived by the scale. that shouldnt be what you look to anymore, being that you are healthy and fit.

I'm 5'4 and hover between 125-130lbs... I always aimed for the low 120's, but I'm starting to realize, that, if I continue to run, that's really never going to happen. But, as long as I continue to look good in my clothes, I guess it doesn't really matter, right?

Re: You be the judge

Definitely a difference. In the 2nd pic your whole mid section looks tighter and thinner. So while the scale might not be dropping you are toning up.

Re: You be the judge

Definitely a difference! Great job!!

Re: You be the judge

i definitely see a difference! you look more toned all around and you tummy went down as well!

you look great!

Re: You be the judge

I think you look amazing in both pics...I dont see a difference but thats because the first pic is perfect!!!

Re: You be the judge

I can see a big difference!!!

So funny - I sent Glinda Goodwitch pics of myself at the same weight, but in completely different sizes...

Sometimes the scales don't reflect the changes you see in your bodies!!!

Re: You be the judge

you look tight- like you are wearing Spanx!

Re: You be the judge

Looking great!!!
