I have lost 48 lbs and others have noticed the weight I lost, but I unable to see it when I look into the mirror. It is quite evident I lost the weight having gone from wearing 42X32 jeans to my 38X32's being too big. I just am unable to see the results I was hoping for at this point. Any tips?

    Find a picture of yourself 48 pounds ago. You'll be able to see the difference in the photo. Tape the photo to your mirror, so you don't forget. Think of this as a victory --- you're looking in the mirror and seeing the real you, not the former you. A "you" who is a lot thinner.

    Congratulations on your weight loss.

    You see yourself everyday so the change has been very gradual for you.
    The fact that others have noticed proves that your weight loss is noticable.
    The fact that your jeans are too big also proves that your waist line has decreased.

    As checkmateking says, find a photo of you 48lbs ago. I would also suggest taking another photo, in exactly the same pose. I'm sure you'd notice the difference then.

    Out of interest, how do you feel? Are you less breathless walking up hills/stairs? Do you feel like you have more energy?

    48lbs lost is a great achievement.
