I guess I will go by the advice of my dietitian–it is not the number on the scale but how your clothes fit.

My clothes most definitely fit better and I even started wearing tight biker shorts to workouts and to run errands about town. These (mind you, the pictures are from the store's website and not mine; I wear mine under long t-shirts that cover my tummy). And yes, the tummy definitely looks smaller and feels tighter, especially in these shorts that compress a little bit.

It was a splurge to buy quality workout bottoms but they make me feel good and look good at the gym which is motivating.

I cannot find tops to match so I wear old t-shirts. I have tried a pack of wicking t-shirts from Amazon but need to send them back because they are not long enough: when I move, they expose my belly.

I would say at present the belly is the only problem. I like how my legs look (and love how they feel) and am okayish with how my arms look.
