Do you ever feel even though you know you have lost weight you just cant see it, i think i look trimmer, but i just dont really see it....

I don't see it either. The only thing that confirms to me that I've lost weight is my clothing getting too big/fitting into a smaller size. The scale, mirror, and measuring tape don't seem to "register" in my mind.

I have the same problem. I have no idea how I look. I weighed 198 lbs, but the scale said that I weighed about 20 lbs less and I actually believed it. :/ I can only understand that my wrist is getting smaller for whatever reason...

I feel the same way. I guess I thought I would look slimmer. So I always question the scale.

I can't tell I lost weight either, even when people ask me how I did it and how much I lost.

The only thing I DID notice in the mirror was one less double-chin lol, so that is definitely a good thing.

The best measurement for me is my clothes. And I do a fashion show in my closet about every 3 weeks to see how close I am to moving down a size. It's both depressing and fun (if that makes any sense)!

It's still hard for me...and I hit my goal a year ago!

I really see it when I get ahold of one of my old clothes or look at pictures

Its such a weird way to measure progress anyway. I am not as light as I was a few months ago, but I look better and my clothing fits in spite of being up about 8 pounds.

Weight training will do that... but also silly things like water retention which can mask losses and things of that nature really make the scale irrelevant IMO.

Besides, I know it's said all the time but who really cares what the scale says? People don't see a number when they look at your body!

yea when i lose weight i don't see it in the mirror but clothes are looser and the scale shows. generally look better in pictures too but don't see it in the mirror.

you are more critical on yourself
reality is that people around dont care too much

I dont see much in the mirror...or even pictures

And the fact you look RIPPED ;p.

I know how you feel! I try and look at my before and after picture to remind myself of how far I have come. But sometimes I still feel like I still have the mindset of the girl in the before picture - I feel fatter than I am!
