Has anyone over 200 lbs lost 15-20 and not see much differen

I posted a thread with the same question a few weeks ago, don't worry. I currently weigh 217, I have lost 12lbs and I don't notice a THING. But some people say they notice a change in my face/neck area. After I posted my thread I felt so much better, I realized its going to take a little more for us to loose before people notice. But as you said this is for life, so the more we loose the more people will notice. Believe me people will notice, just keep doing what your doing.

I was 23 8 and today weighed 217. Everyone else is starting to comment, but I don't see a difference. I do feel a difference. Tying my shoe is easier. I have to remember that although I have lost 21 pounds, I still weigh 217. No way around the face that 217 is still pretty big. I really want to get under 200 and see what that looks like.

Hi,
When I began my weight loss journey, I knew I was losing because I was weighing myself (daily......and still do.....personal choice as far as I am concerned), but I had to lose about 30 pounds, and buy myself some jeans that actually fit me before anyone else noticed. I started at 197, so just under your question about 200 pounds.

Almost five years after my journey began, I am 60 pounds lighter, and still watching what I eat, trying to make healthy choices and use appropriate portion sizes, and still WALKING, WALKING, WALKING.

I have the same problem. I have lost about 23 pounds and everyone else says they can tell but I just can't. My mom had lost almost 200 pounds and she told me that even at that weight she would look in the mirror and "feel" like everything was the same. I hope it doesn't get that bad for me. But I can't wait for the day that I can actually see and feel the loss! We see ourselves every day and we tend to be extra hard on ourselves... believe you friend and family and not a self doubting mind!

I started at 227 pounds / 103 kg and started getting a flood of remarks once I'd gone down into the 190s (85-90 kg). Some colleagues and friends were telling me, too, they'd been wondering before that. But it became really obvious once I'd been down by 25-30 pounds and a solid pant size.

Take a pic of you andccompare it to previous pics. I think you are still in the mindset of how you look it's like your looking into a trick mirror where you don't see your real image. That's how I think of it because I don't see it ether I just go by my clothes. But do you feel it in your clothes and how they fit? That's how I go becausevyou could be losing inches? But keep up the goodvwork!
