    You have made a huge difference so far! It’s just difficult to see when you look at it everyday. We all judge ourselves pretty harshly. Pick something new that has changed for better and focus on that. I have to imagine that your energy levels are increasing, and it’s probably making activities you used to do much easier now with 2 fewer stone!

    It looks like you are rocking it so far. Consider this a portion of your journey (1/2, 1/3, whatever you have left). Now go out and thrash the next leg of your weight loss!

    Visit the thread called “what’s your NSV” in Success Stories. NSV means Non scale victory. For me, the NSV’s were excellent motivators when the scale or my eyes weren’t enough to keep me going.

    I see a large difference.

    You do realize you’ve lost over 11% of your body weight so far?

    29 pounds is six bags of flour, several large bags of potatoes, or a giant bag of potting soil You used to carry that around, all day, every day.

    Take regular photos of yourself for comparison. I wish I’d done that earlier on.

    I used to laugh at the concept of Body Dysmorphia being a thing, until I experienced it myself. Many of us suffer from brains that, well, mess with our minds, if you’ll pardon a bad analogy. I still look for the widest gap to get through, apologize for being in the way of people I’m not, reach for clothes that are too big.

    Those progress photos will help.

    Good job!

    I like to consider my weight loss in terms of Pounds of butter. 29 Pound stacked on the table is a crap ton of butter.

    I can totally see a difference!

    I've yoyo-ed 30 lbs and never change pants sizes....just how my body is shaped I guess.
