My name is Brittney, my highest weight was 319. When I joined here I was about 300lbs, I am now proud to say I am 263 and plan to keep going till I reach my goal of 150!
Sadly, I don't see a difference in my body, only in my face, which is pretty depressing, but whatever I'm proud I've come this far.
Here are some before and after pics.

Highest weight, well around it, sorry it is so blurry, I have no scanner. The big blob in the tan pants to the left is me LOL

Although I don't see much of a difference, I thought I would still post it because I am very proud of myself, and plan to keep going ! :]
Again sorry for the bad quality pictures LOL

    Thank you! I can feel a difference. But I don't have a body mirror, and can only go off pics :[

    You need to look at the 2 shots in the green shirt side by side there absolutely is a difference! What will help next time, try to wear the same pants too, it will be easier to compare.

    keep it up hun, I can totally see the difference. I know what you mean, when I look in the mirror I be thinking I still look the same. But pictures really help. I try to take a picture every month in the same clothes to see the difference. It is a process, I began at 317 and now I am 267. We both just have to keep going.

    You look beautiful & well done for your loss!
    Don't forget to measure as I did not do that until half way through & wish I had. My tight 48D bra has gone though & been replaced with a 40 which is now loose............like you I must be thinner but I think it takes time to catch up in your head!!
    Well done you!

    A big difference can be seen. Well done and thank you for posting the photos. I find progress photos very motivating and look forward to when I can put mine on here. You are an inspiration.

    There is a huge difference. And I'm sure if you were to put on your "old" clothes they would be falling off you! Such a pretty face too. Keep going, you're doing great!

    I can see a difference. You've lost a lot of weight so far, and well done you. Remember, it'll be coming off internally too, which is the healthiest weight loss. Keep going, and I'm sure you'll start seeing more, have you taken measurements? Do that, and you will see a difference.

    We never see the difference in ourselves!!! Thank goodness for MFPals - because we all see the changes you've made!!! What a great job you have done so far!!! Keep going - I'm so proud of you. Definitely take your measurements and have someone else take some full body pics for you.

    I can most definitely see a difference. Sometimes its hard for us to realise the difference in our own bodies, I usually go not only by the scales but by how differently I feel in my clothes. Well done with this, and keep going, you're doing a great job :)

    Sorry you cant see it - that is frustrating. But trust the outside world of opinions- it can be seen!!! Very much so.

    You have done amazing work and your attitude is GREAT- its obvious you are on the right track.

    Congrats on the success of your hard work - and keep it up - you are doing SO SO GOOD!

    PS- I did your inky-blinky-pinky-clyde necklace :)

    You can DEFINITELY see it! Look closely at your before and after pictures...your whole upper body is so much smaller! And trust me, as someone who has "linebacker" issues, I would know! You're doing great!!! Give yourself a pat on the back!

    I can see a difference in your body and I can see a HUGE difference in your face.

    Don't let it discourage you if you don't notice a difference! You've come so far and it takes many baby steps to lose weight. Just remember that eventually every calorie, every meal, every day, every pound (or fraction of a pound) WILL add up.

    Just keep doing what you're doing :) Thanks for sharing your progress!

    sometimes pics are better, because our eyes deceive us... I think I look better in the mirror than in a pic.. and pics dont lie.. so, believe your pics... there is a difference.. Good Job.. keep it up!

    I can DEFINITELY see a difference. Great job, absolutely great! :)

    I was 323lbs when I started, and am 236 now, and I couldn't really see a difference for a long time, but everyone else around me did. So don't trust your own eyes, I think it's a "can't see forrest for all the trees" sort of deal.

    As many have said, 1 day a time! Keep up the fantastic work!
