    Yes, I can see it! I felt the same way for awhile. Are you tall by any chance? I am 5'9" and pretty well proportioned so I think that made seeing results more difficult. Even now at 42lbs gone, people I havent see will say "you look great! died you change your hair or something?" I actually kinda like that now. Makes me feel like I maybe didnt look as awful as I thought before. My sizing difference isnt much either, but most importantly I feel so much better and have way more confidence! I hope you do too!

    Can tell in the face and the only reason people are mentioning that is because you're clothed from head to toe basically. I'm willing to bet you can tell all over your body.

    Can't really compare the pics as they're both really different in size & your pose, but I can see a significant difference in your face :]

    I didn't see a difference in my appearance until yesterday!
  • yeh you can. you have large boobs so not as obvious. but in 2nd pic your boobs are biggest thing. the 1st picture your stomach was. you look alot better and younger. well done xxxx

    It's hard to accurately compare, just because you are wearing such different outfits in both, but I'm sure if you were to do a bra/panties comparison for yourself, the difference would be obvious. Also, in my experience when I went from ~202 to 180 two years ago, it took people awhile to notice and even then, it wasn't crazy obvious. But, last year, when I dropped just a few pounds, down to ~173, it seemed like EVERYONE noticed and commented on it. So, it is sometimes hard to tell, when you are starting off with a higher weight and are taller.


    Like, others have said though, your face looks much thinner! You look great :)

    Your tummy looks smaller, your boobs look bigger (awesome side effect of shrinking tummy), and your arms look like they are probably a bit smaller too but, because they aren't at the same angle in the second picture, it's hard to tell.
    Your camera is also hiding you face, but I would bet that your neck and face are a bit slimmer too - that's the most common spot for weight loss to show up first.

    You are doing great - keep up the hard work!

    I can tell in your face, its slimmer. Just wait until people you know ask you if you have lost weight without you telling them, thats the best compliment of all!!

    It doesn't really matter if we can see it. What matters is can YOU FEEL it?
    Clothes fit looser, body feels better, health is good, have more energy?

    That's the important stuff. Way to go!! keep on putting in that great effort!!
