Dont get me wrong. I am very happy with losing 25 pounds. It's half of my 50 goal. I am just dissapointed that it doesn't show more. Maybe I have more then 50 to lose. Cloths feel much better. Body stronger. I can run longer. Maybe the next 25 will show more. Still happy overall.

    I bet is shows and you can't see it so much because you see yourself in the mirror every day. Twenty-five pounds is awesome. Don't loose heart. You lost a Thanksgiving turkey....with stuffing!

    You're doing wonderful! Keep it up! I've lost 7 lbs in the past 3 weeks (since I started MFP) and I can't tell. However, my co-worker seems to see a slight difference! I am hoping to start seeing results soon... not seeing results has always destroyed my state-of-mind for weight loss--I would give up too soon. However, I don't plan on giving up... not at all! :) I am going to lose 60 lbs :) down 7 lbs, only 53 lbs to go! >.<

    I see it!
    You're face, shoulders and arms are definitely slimmer! Also, you're waist is more tapered!
    Great Job!

    I can see a big difference. Your face is the first, then your thighs, waist and arms. Your posture is different also, which is a huge difference! You should be very proud and motivated to continue. My suggestion, pick up a 25lb weight and see how heavy it feels. Then realize that is what you lost and your body was use to carrying it around. Another suggestion, start doing some weight training to tone and create muscle definition. Keep on the path as it will pay off!

    It completely shows. Your face, neck and shoulders are totally slimmer. You have done a fantastic job. I know it can be hard to see when you are seeing yourself everyday but there is a real difference, congratulations on this amazing loss. I hope you get to see it soon too. Good luck on your continuing journey.

    :flowerforyou: You can definately tell around your face area...I think it's the clothes you have on which are preventing us from seeing more?

    Let me reasure you..I didn't recieve any compliments from people until I'd hit the 30lbs mark...I think this is because, when losing weight, your body gets rid of the excess fat surrounding your vital organs...when this is down to certain point, you will start losing off the rest of you. When losing the fat from around your vital organs, it may not be visible in the rest of your body, but think of how much healthier you are without that excess! :flowerforyou:

    I will say this though, after I'd hit 28lbs, I could see the weight loss myself, and every lb I lost I could notice a difference. In the space of 10lbs (28 - 38) people have gone from not mentioning anything, to suggesting I don't need to lose anymore. Crazy eh? The pounds lost seem to really make a difference to your body after you've lost the initial 25+ pounds.

    You should be feeling so proud of yourself...that is an incredible loss...don't let this dishearten you..you have done most of the hardwork and the next 25 will be a breeze!

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    The cloths I wear were bought for the sole purpsose of hiding. I wonder when that goes away.
    I am looking forward to hitting that 28-38 mark and looking much different. For now I watch measurements change.
    I just got my Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred and if it doesn't kill me, it will change my shape.
