    It took me a while for me to notice results. I had to lose close to 50 pounds. Now I tried on my shorts and they fall to the floor...so had to buy new ones...as we are going to PR in a couple of weeks and need shorts for the trip. IT was a great feeling to go to the store and get a smaller size

    edit:

    The change is clothing wasn't till I lost over 70 pounds. the change in my face came first around 50 pounds gone

    I have lost 25kgs and yes I've noticed my trousers are too big and my trousers that I bought that didn't fit me now do... But I've only dropped one dress size and my belly is still enormous, I really don't think until this pudge has gone that anyone will really notice. What's great is that the dieting system I use seems to burn through my belly fat as a priority

    Which is great news.

    I take a picture every week from the front and from the side. I use Adobe Photoshop but you can use anything, even Word. I put all the front pictures together in order and add a text box of date and weight below them. Then I put all the side pictures together in one page. Then I can see the progression in comparison so even if I don't see it in the mirror, I can see it in the pictures and it seems so much more obvious.

    The belly might be my problem. I guess I won't really see the results I seek until the belly goes away. And I take it that will be the last to go. I've only went from a a size 20 to 18 throughout this journey. Wondering when I'll drop another pants size. That would be a great motivation boost.

    Honestly I have never really "seen" results. I feel them.

    ETA...I notice how I feel different in my car, sitting in a chair, laying in bed, how my clothes feels, etc. etc.

    Have to agree with this, I sat on a swing for the first time in years the other day because I fit on it :)
