Can you see any difference in my stomach?

[canyoufeelit]

Definitely not a boast thread 😆

I gained weight around four years ago and despite doing a lot of running/walking/gym classes nothing has really helped me to shift it.

I've changed tack and started seeing a personal trainer.

Rather than weighing myself frequently and getting frustrated by the scales moving slowly this time I'm taking my measurements and trying to use photos to identify my progress (I will also weigh myself intermittently, but not the week after Christmas).

Anyway, can you see the difference in the stomach area in these two pictures? The T Shirt is the same, just the leggings are different.

I think skylightskylight was being kind, and you really overreacted. With your posture difference between the photos and a baggy tee it is really impossibly to tell. Being stronger will help absolutely and is a great thing to do. Totally understand you don’t want to post underwear pics but that does mean we can’t tell I’m sorry.
I also have a substantial (post baby) tum, a lot of which is really poor musculature. I haven’t lost any weight or I think size but have gotten much better at posture and core which when active holds it all in much better.

I use this board a lot and never post but have delurked to say that I think it's really passive-aggressive to come on to an EXERCISE board and imply that someone is being obsessing and that you have 'concerns' for them because they've posted about EXERCISE.

I enjoyed seeing you be called out for it. I wish more people would call out this sort of thing, it seems to be constant on here.

@SkylightSkylight was being kind.

You are the one who is rude OP. Stop being catty.

Well done for your weight loss though.

Thanks all! Really pleased that the difference is discernible 😀

I agree with this. Its an exercise board. Op is making a healthy life choice its really weird for a stranger to have faux concern about someone getting into shape after Christmas.

Well done op you definitely look better in the 2nd photo.

OP to me you look much more tightly put together in the second pic. And your bum looks smaller.

Well done!

I lost 3 Stone a couple of years ago and there is nothing like signs of progress to fuel your determination and enthusiasm to keep going.

You are in your route and have done fantastically so far. Good luck!

Thank you!

I'm ignoring the most recent posters, I think they've mistaken this place for AIBU!

It's very odd to me to tell a stranger who posts on an exercise board not to talk about exercise and results so that's the only explanation I can think of!

Thank you, that's such a good way of putting it I definitely feel more tightly put together and in the past and I need that kind of motivation when the scales aren't moving.

SO much well done on your 3 stone!!

It really is impossible to tell from those pics

you don’t need to post them on here, but the best way to tell is underwear pics front, back and side. And tape measure on any specific areas like your stomach

if you have had children it’s worth checking for diastasis recti too as that can make you look more paunchy and will also impact the core exercises you can do

I've got underwear pics.

I use a tape measure.

I said so further up the thread.

Thanks, though.

I can absolutely see a difference. You look much more toned and defined and better posture. Keep it up. We'll done

Has any weight you lost gone to your mouth? You are unbelievably rude to people just giving kind suggestions/advice

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

I can see a difference, well done.

Thank you :)

You can also quite clearly tell the t shirt hangs more on the second pic. Looks like you can see the waistband sticking out on the first pic but not visible on 2nd. So yes I would say stomach area looks different also.

Quite unbelievable isn’t it

So rude for absolutely no reason

Thank you :)

That burn would shift a few lbs 😂😂
“Do you usually speak to strangers like this?” too op, hypocrisy does wonders for the waistline.

I feel sorry for people like the OP, they scream bitterness.

For what it’s worth, I’m starting on a weight loss journey on 1st Jan and I’ll be taking your advice on board - thanks! 😊

Excuse me?

You post on a thread I started and state that I "scream bitterness"

And somehow you are not being exceptionally rude?

You have been out and out nasty.

I don't understand a word of this, sorry.

I'd be interested to know the difference in your starting measurements and now. Have you lost a lot of inches/cm?
