    I have lost 11 and can't tell! Got a long way to go though.

    I feel better though - healthy food and exercising apparently suit me despite years of saying the opposite. x
    11 too and i cant really tell either!

    I was 187 at 5'0 and then decided I had to do something after shooting very quickly up from a very muscular 130. I lost 15ish pounds and I personally can't see much of a different, but others are commenting on how much smaller I look! I went down to 170, then started weight lifting and gained around 4 pounds, but lost 2 inches. So you can't always judge by weight alone, and sometimes you aren't the best judge. :smile: If you're taller than me (and pretty much everyone is, haha) you might not see it as fast. My goal weight is 120- 130, depending on how much muscle I end up developing.

    You are taller than me! :) I am 4'11, heaviest at 133 and I know it doesn't sound that bad but on us shorties, it shows EVERYWHERE! I am down 11lbs and my goal is 115. I am at 122 now. I don't see much of a difference but people say I look smaller. I am just noticing more muscle definition than before.

    I weigh ~134 now (height is 5'5"), down from 185. Was 185 back in April and the change was already pretty noticeable 15 pounds down, at least to me. I remember seeing more prominent collarbones for the first time, as well as a hint of my ribs (I'm pear-shaped). The comments didn't really come in until 23 pounds down, though. At ~160 lbs. I no longer *looked* overweight, even though I was (apparently I'm heavier than I look). 51 pounds down, I look like a completely different person (to the point where some friends who didn't see me since pre-weight loss did not recognize me, haha).

    Awesome! I have lost several inches, and most of the weight has come off my legs. I now have lean legs :p I am looking forward to my next scheduled side-by-side. I feel like it is coming off! hehehe

    I'm just beginning this journey. I have 80 lbs I want to lose. My biggest issues are fast food, junk food and eating right before bed...Any suggestions or tips?

    Track your food on here. Trade your junk food snacks out for fruit, nuts and raisins. Cook your own food. This is what I do on the eating part of it. Also, do cardio and strength training. Eat back your exercise calories as well.

    I didn't notice much difference until I lost around 30. People around me noticed but it took me a while to see any difference. Plus you might not notice it for a while. Take your measurements and you can notice by those. I did notice a physical difference but I know that I lost 4 inches around my tummy and I was excited for that.
