Posted a comparison photo today, six months apart, and I still can't quite believe it's the same person.
Todays comparison shot, six months apart
The comparison shots are what got me started in the first place.
honestly the six month gap is what gets me, that is long enough for it to be a real change and not just a good angle.
I took a similar shot at my six month mark and had that same weird feeling of looking at a stranger. Mine's not as dramatic as yours but it's enough that I stopped deleting the old pictures off my phone.
Six months feels like the point where it stops being a diet and starts being a different life. I'm only a couple months in so this is good to see.
Did you notice the change creeping up slowly or did it hit you all at once when you put the two photos next to each other? I'm about 27 down and still feel like the same guy in the mirror
Did you notice the change in the mirror before you saw it in photos? I only clocked my own shift when an old jacket suddenly hung loose.
idk, how long did it take before you started noticing it in the mirror rather than just the photos? I'm about 24 down and still feel like the same guy most mornings
The face is always the wildest part to me too, mine only started looking different in photos around month three., so this gives me hope.
The face thing gets me too. Caught my reflection in a shop window on Magazine and did a double take
The face change is the part I keep waiting on. Six months in and I'm only down about ten, so this is good to see
six months is such a trip to look back on. I'm about 22 down myself and still grab the wrong size off the rack out of pure habit.
The old jacket habit got me too, i keep grabbing the same hoodie out of the closet and swimming in it. Six months is a wild gap to see side by side though
My brain lagged too, took me a while to stop double-taking at my own reflection. The photo comparison is what finally made it click for me.
The photo thing is what got me, i avoided cameras for years and now i actually hand my phone over. Still weird seeing it though
Something flipped for me around month four where the camera started matching what the tape said. Six months is a real stretch to hold steady, so how did you keep the routine from drifting?
six months is a long time to stay consistent, and the jawline catching up last is exactly how it went for me too.
Six months feels like forever from where I'm sitting at three pounds down, so seeing your shot makes the timeline feel less abstract.
Six months is a long haul to stay consistent, what kept you from stalling out around month three?
honestly how long did it take before you noticed it in the mirror rather than just the photos? I'm down some weight myself but my brain still sees the old face
