Have I lost weight?? 😕

Hello. So it's been a year after giving birth and finally took my health back in action. I took a random pic about 2 months ago and when I wore the same dress again yesterday I felt like taking another picture. Honestly is there any difference? Its definitely true that the person themself can never see a difference and always see themselves as "fat". You become so used to your own body. I feel like I'm looking too hard to see a difference. Not doing this for attention just want to make sure what I'm doing is working or if I need to work harder/be patient. Thank you ladies and gent 😊

I think you look a bit slimmer in the second photo. Less of a bulge on the back and slightly smaller stomach

Are you weighing & taking your measurements regularly?

You do look a tiny bit slimmer in second photo. You seem to have a smoother outline, but that could just be from wearing better underwear

It’s hard to tell from those pics as you’ve zoomed in on the after, which makes you look bigger than you probably are. As pp said, you do look flatter across your back and stomach

Whatsgoingonwithmyhead · 18/01/2024 17:50

Also the second photo is more close up. So not a true comparison

Yes you look slimmer. Your bum is smaller, much less back fat and a smaller stomach.

It's really hard to tell because of the distance from the camera but I can definitely see fewer 'bumps' in the second pic

I was trying to cut my face out. My apologies this is the original picture. Not sure if that helps x

Have you weighed yourself, and if so what does the scales say? It's very difficult to judge from these photos.

thepurgebegins · 18/01/2024 18:08

@Whatsgoingonwithmyhead My weight went down but on the scale has gone back up because I'm gaining muscle. I unfortunately forgot to take measurements but my older clothes are very loose. I just don't want to get too "happy". I'm actually wearing the same underwear style and if anything my stomach should be more visible in the second pic because they are alot looser 😅. I think personally I want to be able to see the difference on my body not just on scales but feel delusional.

You've lost weight, Op. Congratulations 😁

Desecratedcoconut · 18/01/2024 18:39

I think your bum and tum have slimmed a little but your arms are definitely longer 😁

ikuy · 18/01/2024 19:08

Dress looks less tight to me at the back so yes I'd say you're smaller now.

Gogoyoyo · 18/01/2024 19:55

Yes definitely slimmer OP! It's so hard to see it yourself, isn't it?

redheadsaregreat · 18/01/2024 20:32

Hard to tell in a big dress like that. It's going to be much easier for you to tell as you'll know how your clothes fit
