My shirt is XXL now i can wear L 2 sizes down but when i compare my pictures darn! i look the same. I'm losing hope been overweight my whole life.
What i really notice is i run faster, jump higher when playing basketball.

    Nothing change? Those are great results. I had the same issue. Dropped 50 lbs and still had a gut. Very frustrating. But that happens to a lot of folks. I finally started losing my gut in the last 10 lbs (didn't have any fat left anywhere else). Your body will lose fat where it wants to and you have no control over it. Just keep on going and it will go away.

    It's rough when things won't change. I've lost 40 lbs and I barely see any changes in my pictures. Just have to keep going. They'll come and it'll be worth it in the end.

    Well look at it this way at least you are not going the other way around...I was 180 and now 230.., I wish I was 180 again because even though its not much of a difference i noticed this: at that point in my life I was still happy. Now my weight revolves around me and I feel horrible. So dont look at it like that just look at the great side of that YOU ALREADY LOST 24 POUNDS!!!! CONGRATS!!! AND KEEP GOING. the more you lose the less you will worry about how much u didnt lose... So cheer up you're doing great.
