Tender78, not sure what your starting weight is but you look like you started similar to my weight, 254 lbs. I've known many very large women who didn't see a different in how they looked until about a 50 lb weight loss, and clothes in the plus size range take about 20-30 lbs of weight loss before you go down a size in my experience. Your weight loss is amazing and don't let the delay in seeing it discourage you! You're so close!

254? Thank you! You're my new best friend, lol. My starting weight was 319 actually. I'm trying to not get discouraged...I went on vacation in September and did well while on vacation but have kind of fallen off the wagon since. I'm recommitting myself for November and I've decided I need to start cooking more. I don't usually do so because it's just me but that's what the freezer is for, right? lol.

Everybody loses their weight differently..people who show it quickly tend to lose it first off their middle and face. You may be losing it elsewhere. Just don't quit, you'll see the progress eventually!

Thanks for the encouragement. I've heard that you lose weight first in the last place you gained...I don't know if that's actually the case but it seems ike I carry most of my weight in the belly and the boobs.

Everyone looks amazing!

Wow, everyone looks so amazing. I must be doing something wrong...according to my scale, I've lost 34 lbs but I don't see a difference @ all. My clothes aren't fitting any better or anything...at least not in my opinion. I've seen pictures here of a 10-20 lb difference and the change is so noticable...I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong that I don't see any difference? lol

I didn't notice a difference until about 50 pounds. If you take your measurements that will help. We tend to lose from the 'outside in' meaning you will notice your face, arms, neck, legs 1st. The difference in clothing is because we tend to wear clothes that are bigger b/c we are hiding. I am still trying to get used to buying clothes that fit. My husband pointed out (nicely) that I was buying clothes that were too big for me and then pulling at them all the time trying to hide my stomach. Apparently this makes me look heavier than I am? Lots of adjustments to the new you but totally worth it!!! DON'T GIVE UP!

Thank you, had a guy at work the other night as me if my eyes are fake. Nope they are all mine! I told him I don't wear my glasses at work I take them off before I walk in because I feel like they hide my eyes but I don't have any contacts.

Keep going! I started my WLJ in 2001 and kept weight off until 2007 when I regained 80! Since November 6, 2011 I have lost over 112 pounds!!! for a total loss of 166 pounds!!!!!! I own one pair of pants from then (sz 34)! I am now the smallest I have been in my adult life! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! It is a constant day to day struggle but we are all here for support!
