    17 lbs. lost and no visual difference

    Ok so I know I'm losing weight...17 LBS in 3 weeks to be exact but I have yet to see a difference in the pictures I've been taking. I have taken pictures every week and put them side by side. I am even wearing the same thing in all the pictures. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that I'm losing the weight but it would be nice to see a difference. *Sigh*
    Why is it taking so long to show a loss???? Is this happening to anyone else?

    THEN:
    JUNE 2003 ~ 198 LBS
    DEC. 2003 ~ 135 LBS
    *63 LBS LOST!

    Now: 2009
    March 9 ~ 201.5 LBS.
    March 16 ~ 190.5 LBS. (-11 Lbs.)
    March 23 ~ 185.5 LBS. (- 5 Lbs.)
    March 30 ~ 188.5 LBS. (+ 3 Lbs.)
    April 6 ~ 185.5 lbs. (-3 Lbs.)

    201.5/185.5/135 = 50.5 LBS. to go

    Sometimes it's really hard to see the changes in ourselves. The best thing in the world is having someone that you haven't seen in a month or two (or a year) tell you that you are looking great. It *will* happen, just give it time.

      I just figured that 17 Lbs. would show something, you know?

        Aw, Jen .... I feel for ya 'cos you've worked so hard and a 17-lb. loss is great!!! Anyway, the two pics you posted look a lot different to me! Cheer up ... I've lost nearly 30 lbs. and not a soul other than my husband has noticed!

          Well, the pictures in my posts were from when I did Atkins back in 2003 not now. I wish I looked like that *after* picture now but I will in the future. Thanks for the encouragement though. It's a shame no one has noticed a 30 Lbs. loss, that's fantastic!!!! Great job!

            I lost over 50lbs before I noticed a difference in what I looked like. Believe me, it'll happen. To quote NKOTB, "Hang Tough"!
