I don’t really see any results from it, but I didn’t take photos to compare. My pants are fitting just a little bit better, so there must be some changes, even though I don’t see them. My mother has remarked that I’m really starting to get an hourglass figure, but I think she’s just trying to flatter me even though she tells me she’s really being sincere.

However, I have noticed a lot of muscle growth, even though it isn’t visible. I’m more concerned about losing fat, but I’m sure that’ll come with time. For me, it’s really hard to change my diet, so I try to limit myself each day as best I can. I haven’t really made any diet changes, so I know my results are going to be slower than they are for others. But I do know I will get results in time. I’m a LOT more active than I used to be. I used to just sit in front of the computer all day. Now I hit the gym three times a week.

Sounds like she answered her own question–feels great, stronger, inc. weights, enjoying it.
If these aren’t results, I don’t know what are! Sometimes we don’t realize that even small changes like these ARE results. I agree with everyone…consistency and persistance are the keys to seeing major body changes. One day at a time.

For me they just seem to sneak up on me. Now that I am almost near my goal weight, when I am eating clean and working out hard on a regular basis though they can come almost daily: a little muscle pop here, new definition there etc. It motivates me to get my behind out of bed in the morning so I can see if anything new has appeared overnight lol

I measure my waist every few months but that’s it. I wish I wasn’t such a slave to the scale because I know it doesn’t always reflect what is really going on. Also, I took pics in December and will take some again in June. I am starting a 12 week program (a modified version of Body for Life for Women) this week so maybe they will be in May (when I finish) instead? :-)

For some reason it is just like “BAM” I see it clearly now! :) I definetly prefer pictures, measurements and BF %, although BF % can be off depending on how you get tested. But definitely pictures and measurements. HHHMMMMMM….the scale, what a bad word. I would like to say I don’t become victim to the scale, but then I would be lying. As long as I am doing what I am supposed with nutrition and working out, the scale does not bother me because I know that muscle weighs more than fat…it is when I am in my down times that I need to get rid of that horrible thing.
