Ht. 5'0", Wt. 124 - Hi there, I have a couple of questions. I have been tryin to lose weight ever since June of 2005. So far I have lost 13 lbs.(my goal is to get down to 110) I dont think it looks like it at all and no one has noticed so i am kind of discouraged. I have been slowly gaining back weight which hasnt been helping my attitude. I was wondering if anyone knows if the reason why it doesnt look like i have lost weight is because it isnt enough to notice or its because i have probably been focusing on calories more then how much fat i take in? Because i mean i have lost weight but i havent lost the fat around the belly and chest area (which the chest area is really embaressing for a guy :( ) I hope someone has some answers or tips to help me lose the actual fat so i look thinner.
