    I think 24 pounds is wonderful, great job!!!! Keep it up and you will see the progression. Like the others have said, make sure you take full body pictures. I have lost 12 pounds and I can't tell any difference either and I am only 4'10" tall. I did take pictures and I still can't see a difference.

    Keep at it!!

    You have a lot to lose so congrats on your loss already - even if you can't feel / see it. A lot has to do with our brains - we see ourselves as we always were, and because you are losing gradually people get used to the new you. If someone hasn't seen you in a while they might notice. To be honest, most people probably see "you" not your weight anyway!

    Comparing clothing / photos / measurements will show a difference, even if gradual - and when it really starts to come off people and you will notice :smile:

    I have lost 50+ pounds so far, I am 5 6 1/2" as well. I was about 215 pounds and when I had lost about 10 pounds I was so excited but my friend didn't see anything. However as time went on she did notice. My daughter recently got married and I saw my brothers for first time in ages and they were just blown away at how good I look.

    Yesterday my son didn't recognise me - he saw a skinny lady and then realised it was me :laugh:

    So hang in there, log consistently and honestly, get some digital scales to weigh your food - don't guess, avoid processed stuff if possible, make good choices, get some exercise, drink water, weigh at the same time each day, preferably first thing when you get up after a bathroom visit :laugh: and it will all happen.

    Good luck with the wedding :flowerforyou:

    Congrats!! Don't worry about who notices. The scale is not lying, so be proud and keep on doing what you are doing and you will notice the weight eventually for sure. I can see the weight loss in your face from your pictures.

    You say it is not a diet but a lifestyle so keep up with the changes and you will have no choice but to see it soon. Be patient and you will see it very soon.
