I had lost 6 pounds previous to starting MFP and have lost another 10 while doing this. I want to lose another 5-8 pounds. In total i will be 20-25 pounds lighter. I would love to see pictures of people that have lost roughly this amount so i can see if it actually makes a noticeable difference. Please share your pics for encouragement to myself as well as others who only have a little bit to lose. (its often hard to stay motivated when its that last STUBBORN bit you have left to lose and people tell you that they dont see why you think you need to lose weight.)

    I think it really depends on how heavy the person is to start with.. I have lost 35 lbs, and I am on the larger size. It still makes a difference, but maybe not as much as it would on a smaller person.

    I've lost about 22lbs, and I can tell you it's made a huge difference! I'm 5' 4'' and those extra pounds show! I have much more energy and feel a lot healthier

    I had to lose about 40 pounds before I went down a pants size. But if you are twenty-five pounds overweight and lose it all, it would be noticeable,

    Still working on it, but for me 25 lbs was size 12 to 6 (or even smaller) and I think pretty noticeable:
