I've lost 2.5 stone. Can't work out if it looks like I have! Pic attached

[ChickenChop]

I've worked really hard to lose this weight and I still have a stone + to go, at least

So I decided to do a comparison photo today, using a pic from April and a pic from yesterday. I was expecting to see some incredible difference but err I don't?

Please tell me the small difference I can see makes it worth while carrying on

I've tried to match the perspective of the first pic but it's tricky

You look thinner but you looked good in the 'before' photo. You don't need to lose any more weight.

You can see the difference, but for a comparison photo you should wear the same outfit - they are completely different shapes

Ok, so there's a stone difference between us (same height) do you exercise? I'm currently 10st and change (65kg) and this is me today in a size 6. I think at around 11st I'm a size 10-12, so sounds like you're on track :)

You look great!
What diet have you been doing?

Wow, are you tall OP? I have never been 13 stone and almost never looked as good as you do in photo 1. I am average height and dumpy. At 12.5 stone I had a huuuuuuge tummy.

You look great.

But you looked really good at 13 stone as well.

I'm 13 stone and 5 ft 8 and look like a sack of spuds

How did you lose the weight? I'm really trying and far have lost a pound

Yes good tips for weight loss please

Can't really tell because the outfits are so different 🤷‍♀️

Psychologically it can take a very long time to adjust your perception of yourself after losing weight - it's a known thing. Focus on the health benefits, your energy levels, ease of movement, and strength and fitness. One day you'll see what we do!

I'm not sure what you expected but you can see you have definitely lost weight.

I know you probably don't want identified so we are only getting leg shots but you probably have lost it all over so you are focused on what's in front of you.

@Onlyrainbows you look so good! That's what I'd to look like

It's really difficult to tell on yourself. I lost 18lb for my wedding and didn't think I looked much different until I saw a video of myself in my pyjamas on the morning of the day.

Try and put the same clothes on, they must be baggy now? Then it will be easier to tell. You looked great before by the way.

Can defo tell you've lost weight! You look really good in both photos.

I'm 12stone 6lb, 5.5ft and all my weight goes on my stomach, thighs and boobs.

I really need to sort myself out but have finished work (office) sat on the sofa and ordered a kebab!! I snacked all day as well.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I've put 2.5 stone on in 4 years and don't want to put the same on again!!

This.

I mean I absolutely CAN see a pretty big weight loss but, if you can’t, then putting the same clothes on should show you.

Please don't say if you recognise me 😀 this is my fat face 2 years ago - when I was at 14 bloody stone - and one from the other day

You can 100% tell! You look great!! 👏

As for what I've done diet wise - Louise Parker method. But really, I just eat sensible portions, mainly plant based, 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I don't low carb, I do restrict sugar

I swim every day and walk about 5K - I don't do either of these at pace or anything

Haven’t read any other posts, but black trouser pic looks “ Thinner” .

Wow OP. I'm the same height as you and at 13 stone I looked enormous. I'm currently 9st11, trying to get to 9st3 and although I look ok I still have a big round flabby belly!

I think toning must have a lot to do with it as you must be way more fit and toned than me.

@LoveKingGary remember these are just static photos and in real life I'm flabby in places for sure.

I'm aiming for 10 stone for now but 9 stone something would be great

Huge difference and would be even more noticeable if you were wearing the same clothes in the two pics. Even more in your face. Well done!

@Carofay thanks! I've got over a stone to go but slowly getting there

@StrawberryFizz27 you sound like me. I am 5ft 5in and at 12.5 stone J have a huge tummy and big boobs and flab everywhere. I wear size 16. I think toning is key. When I've slimmed down to 10 stone and gone to the gym, I am a size 10 with no flab anyway. Can't see that happening again.

You can see it in your face definitely a few pounds of face gone 😃
