Your lower half looks a lot smaller. As does your chest. Unfortunately your shirt is too baggy to tell for the tummy so I can't say there. Keep going you are showing progress. I've heard it takes twelve weeks for you to notice weight loss
I have been doing this for more than 12 weeks. I have been losing consistently since the end of January, but it isn't very noticeable.
Don't give up! It takes a while to notice especially when you have a lot to lose, but just remember that you're doing really really well. This is a great start. Don't worry about it so much, and just keep doing what you're doing!0 -
look at your ancles. and mid section. :flowerforyou: oh and also how your arms are hanging closer to your body now.0

If the shirt in the last pic is the same size as the first one, then there's a big difference!! Just keep going
Also, I suggest taking measurements because then you will be able to actually quantify the difference!

Congrats on the weight loss! Your chest and stomach look smaller. Also keep the "onion peel theory" in mind. When we are overweight, we carry extra fat everywhere, including on the INSIDE of our bodies, around our organs etc. When we start to lose weight, it comes off from everywhere, and not always places we can see. Kind of like peeling an onion….when you take off a few outside layers, you can't tell a huge difference, but when you keep going suddenly each layer makes a world of difference. Keep it up!0

Its hard to tell as you are wearing different clothes but your legs look much smaller, ankle area especially. Keep it up you are doing well x0

First of all just let me say CONGRATULATIONS on losing 38 pounds!!!!!
Honestly, I can see a difference and I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true! Your face looks thinner and in the last two pics, your ankles and legs looks thinner. Keep doing what you're doing...it's working!!!!!!!0 -
Definitely look smaller now; I can see it in the abdominal area and your face especially. Keep up the good work!0
-
I would like to say I can tell all over! You are a beautiful person! I am sure you are as beautiful on the inside!! Keep going with your goal and do not let ANYTHING stand in your way! At the end of your journey, you will not only look more beautiful, but, you will change for the better...:drinker: mentally, emotionally and healthily!0

Definitely a difference! Face very much so and lower half- oh yes! Keep up the great work~ it's showing!0
-
I can see a major difference in your legs - look at your ankles/shins between the second picture and the third - you look very swollen in the second pictures, but I see ankles in the third!!
Whatever you do, don't get discouraged. You see yourself every day so it's going to be harder for you to see a significant difference. Keep up the great work !0 -
keep going, I did see a diffrence before a 50lbs drop, so hang in there, the scale likes you0

I hadn't thought of it this way before, but that's a great analogy.0 -
If I had a red marker to play "Spot the Differences" I could show you what I see. Since I don't:
Your forearms are smaller from Pic 1 to Pic 2 - can't see in Pic 3 since your arms are bent.
Your arms don't hang out from your body as much as in Pic 1 so I can tell you've lost inches in your upper arms.
Your face is really starting to emerge in Pic 3.
It looks like your stomach has lost inches as well. I have no idea on sizes in shirts in Pic 1 and Pic 3 but if they are the same, there looks to have been significant loss in your waist.
I highly recommend you get your measurements taken and continue taking them every couple months (or as often as you start feeling discouraged). Measurements will tell you your weightloss story like nothing else will.0 -
I see a bit of a difference but it's hard to tell because in 2 of them you're wearing really baggy clothes. It takes a while to see a difference when you have a way to go, 38lbs is brilliant so keep at it and you'll be able to see the difference yourself in time.
Until then you should measure yourself, I'll bet you've lost a fair few inches with those 38lbs0 -
I see weight loss around your waist and in your face. Have you done measurements. I wish that I would have taken chest measurements instead of my neck. I want to see some difference there.Good Luck 39 is a lot to lose!!!!!!!!!0
-
I see a difference in the way your arms hang naturally. They push out to the sides less. 38 pounds is excellent, and I know that the bigger I was, the harder it was to tell that I'd lost weight. People didn't really notice until I hit about 25lbs lost, I started at 236. Keep up the good work!0

I can totally see a difference. It looks to me as though you are losing weight evenly all over your body, so proportionately you may think you look the same. But I bet if you drew an outline of yourself at the weight in the first pic and then at the weight in the third, you would see that you are significantly smaller all over.
AND - have you noticed changes in how you feel? Your endurance? Enjoyment of activity? That is important stuff!0
