Try a Weekly picture challenge! Sometimes it's hard to notice the small changes that other people notice because we see ourselves everyday, pick a bikini or workout outfit that shows your body and take weekly photos of yourself in the same place, same positions and your will be amazed at the differences you would never have payed attention to before!
