I’m 10lbs down but can’t see any difference, when will I start noticing a change?

When you've lost 10% of your body weight. Look up the paper towel analogy.
In the meantime, take body measurements + progress pictures2 -
How tall are you? More petite ppl will see a difference sooner.
At 235 lbs SW, I would take a progress photo when you get to onederland and compare.
Take photos because you won't notice due to the day to day gradual change.
It's going to take a while. It is a slow and drawn out process requiring a different type of determination than most people realize at first ... What's your goal weight ?0 -
Look for differences in other ways...the mirror and scale only tell part of the story. Check your belt, have you gone down a notch or two? Do your usual pants feel a bit loose? Do you have more energy?1

Never heard about the paper towel analogy before. Brilliant! According to your 10%, only 10lbs more and I should see a pretty good difference. Thanks for sharing!1 -

I’m 5”8.
Yes I think it’s time I stopped hiding from the cameras and mirrors and took a proper look. Time to start taking some pics for reference.
I don’t really have a goal weight.0 -
I notice a difference in how I feel and how my clothes fit before I really see any other differences1

I never notice a change, I think we’re too hard on ourselves! Flip it though, if I’m up a few pounds I know right where they are!1
