Princessjanice - Congratulations on your weight loss. That is a tremendous loss.
I think sometimes that the last person to see the weight loss is the person who is losing it. You see your body everyday, and so changes over a long time scale aren't always as obvious to ourselves as they are to external observes.
If you want a sense of your progress go and find something that weighs 30lbs, and then try carrying it around with you. You will definitely notice how much you have lost then0 -
I agree with Thamantha-we don't really see a difference, but others definately do!!
Not that it would make you feel better, but I didn't really notice anything until I lost 40-50 lbs and my clothes got baggy...
Congrats on what you have lost so far!!!0 -
Its the same with many people, they just don't realise how good they look to have lost all those pounds. Believe me, I am just as bad. Even when I have been slim in the past, I still thought I was fat. Its a self image thing. But believe me, the response from others should reassure you. 30 lbs is a lot to loose. Well done!0

You should be so proud of yourself for the hard work you put in. losing 30 lbs is not an easy thing to do, I know. You may not feel it on the outside but your heart is saying something different. :flowerforyou:0
