These pictures aren't from my highest weight to my lowest, sadly I didn't think to take any of when I was at my biggest.

I started out at 115kg on Jan 4th of this year. I'm now 93kg. Still morbidly obese but I have lost a couple of clothing sizes and feel a bit lighter on my feet.

These are from 107kg to 93kg. In the 107kg picture I am sucking my tummy in as hard as possible. Yeah, I know my underwear is terrible. I only had granny undies then and a maternity singlet. I now fit underwear and bras from regular shops, but had a pilonidal abscess removed from my butt crack recently so sporting new granny undies. Also I have a bad overhang obviously from being overweight and having had 2 c-sections doesn't help. My stomach was actually hanging down to touch my things at 107kg.

I'm just asking for a little help here...can anyone see ANY difference? If so, where?

Thanks so much. Gulp...here goes...

    Totally! Look at your side, like if you were going to outline yourself. You have definitely slimmed down! Nice work!!! You can do it!!!!

    there's a difference! Your hips most of all. Your arms are also closer to your chest and your shoulders are thinner too. And your tummy is tighter in the last pic even though you said you were sucking it in in the first.
    You're doing awesome!

    There is a serious difference here! I can see it in the stomach the most! You should be so stoked! The fact that you are now able to fit in smaller clothes and you feel lighter on your feet is huge! Good work! Be proud of yourself and keep going. I don't even know you and I'm proud! (:

    Awe thanks so much! I've still got a good 40kg to go but at least others can see a difference.

    I bought some new clothes on the weekend and all the stuff in the "fat" section was too baggy. I got XL from the regular ladies area!

    Huge difference in the hips, less tummy, upper arms are thinner too.

    Notice how the arm that isn't holding the camera looks longer in the after pic? That's because it now has less body to get past.

    And sorry to hear about the pilonidal... they're nasty things, I had one done when I was 16. But it has never reoccurred, thankfully (my father's has).

    Tons of difference, my body is very similar to your "before" photo. Everything pretty much looks smaller and I am betting you feel more room in your clothing. Nice job!

    Wow, so you lost 22 kg in 3 months? May i ask what did you do, what kind of diet? Did you excersise a lot?

    I just started my journey, and am about 114kg, have a goal to loose 15-17 kg until the 1st of july, i thought that is very much impossible, but gave me a hope, so, thank you.

    And yes, i can see the difference! :wink:

  • Fantastic difference. You are smaller everywhere. You must freel the difference just when you pick something up from the ground! Yay!

    There is most definitely a difference! You're doing great! Keep up the hard work and don't give up. You said you are feeling better on your feet and that is a big accomplishment in itself and means everything in continuing your journey!

    Tummy and shoulders. Big difference. Sometimes it's tough to see it yourself because you're so focused on what's left to lose. Take measurements every month. That will convince you more than anything else. Awesome job!
