So ive dropped 20lbs so far in the past month and a half. I personally dont tell a difference in my body at all, minus the face. To me my face and neck seemed to have slimmed. Other than that i dont see it. I do however feel a whole lot better. Since ive started eating a lot cleaner and healthier, i feel like i have so much more energy, and i feel like i dont have a bunch of junk fermenting inside me. Im halfway to the weight i wanna be so hopefully ill see in 20 more lbs.

The start:

    Really? You don't see it? You can tell the difference in every picture comparison. Don't be so hard on yourself! Your face is thinner; your waist looks smaller. Just keep at it, Tony.

    That is a huge difference in just six weeks! I can see the weight has come off all of your body. You have much smaller stomach, less love handles at the back and your face and neck are heaps thinner! Take another look.. you've changed a LOT. Well done and keep it up!

    I can definitely see your face has slimmed and your chest is nowhere near as (I can't seem to pick a better word) droopy and your stomach is significantly smaller. Keep up the great work! :)

    Look again, cuz there's definately a change! One of the first places you often see weight loss is in the face. Yours especially shows it, but I can also start to see the difference in your body as well. Nice work! :drinker:

    Tony - Great job!! I can definitely tell a difference between the before & after pics... I've lost a little more than you (33 lbs) and I can tell a difference in myself, but I get what you're saying. But hey, any improvement is great...right? Keep up the great work! You should be proud!

    I can definitely notice a difference.

    What I do -- because I have a image problem -- I still feel like I am the same size as I was 50 lbs ago. I continually take side by side photos so that I can see the difference -- comparison photos. My phone is full of them. It shocks me every time. But it might help you notice.

    That is a really good idea!. This is the first time ive done the comparison thing. after people pointed things out i can see some changes now. Thanks for the tip! and congrats on 50+ lbs! thats dedication.

    I noticed that I seemed to have lost a lot of fat from my groin area first. Also lost from my triceps and side moob area. Now I'm losing my upper gut, finally.

    Well done on your weight loss - it really makes a difference. It's hard to see the changes in yourself when you look in the mirror every day your brain adjusts the image. Print out those photos side-by-side and pin them up to remind yourself of the changes. You should be proud of such progress in just 6 weeks.
