almost 30 pounds gone, but don't feel a difference.

It usually takes me losing about 10% of my body weight for me to lose a pants size. So when I was 247, it took over 20lbs and now that I'm lower less than 20lbs. Another problem I had was that when I started it took twice as long to go down a size, because technically I was wearing clothes too small for me, and had just stretched them out. You'll get there. Also, I can totally notice a difference in your pictures, looking awesome!

I can definiteyl see a difference! Are you doing any weight training? I know for me, when I wasn't doing weight training the number on the scale would change but I didn't see much of a difference as far as clothing. As soon as I incorporated weight training 2-3 times a week that's when my body started changing the way I wanted it to. Keep it up! You look beautiful!

There's a huge difference and might I add your curves allow you to wear 288 lbs WELL!! I struggled with this also, lost 30+ lbs and only went down one dress size, I'm now down 53lbs and down TWO dress sizes. I tend to lose in my upper body before I lose around the middle/bottom so I blame it on that. I also was only doing cardio and no strength training. I hear when you start lifting weights or using resistance is when you see the inches start to melt away but the weight stays relatively the same. Don't get discouraged you are making enormous strides and have done awesome so far!

You look awesome!!!

I have lost 30lbs and have gotten nowhere too! But I am carrying a ton of weight around my hips- so it is going to take more than 30lbs for me to drop a size. Yup still haven't dropped a size either. I would love to go down a size as well but no such luck. I'm a shortie so the extra weight around my hips is a nightmare- but I can always see a difference in pics and inches and that keeps me going. So just hang in there!

Yes and look at your waist

Obviously there is a difference. I can see it in my photos....sorta. I haven't gone down a dress size. I haven't gone down an underwear size. I haven't gone down a cup size. In fact, my boobs feel BIGGER! Then I read people who have lost 10 pounds and gone down 4 dress sizes and I'm like what?

Okay, I'm not trying to be an attention *kitten*, but would you believe I lost 30 pounds?

First photo 315 pounds. Last photo 288 pounds.

I just want to go down a dress size! Anyone else lose a a big chunk of weight and not had any difference in clothing?

Def a difference! you do have a waist and more shape!!!
umm dress sizes and all that depend.. if your exercising a lot AND with weights.. then yeah you loose inches!! and depends some peeps that start at a higher wt wont see as much of a drastic 'change' or pants/clothing size.. till more wt is lost..
I lost 40 pounds and went form size 20 jeans to 12/14 and XL tops to medium.. I work out a lot and hard classes and weights! (sw 234) lowest wt 193 cw 202) (gained 10 in last mo i plan to loose)
anyway keep it up!!!

I lost 45 lbs before I lost a size but then it was only another 15 pounds before I lost another size- so who knows how many pounds equals a size- Ithink it just doesn't work that way

you look smaller to me though

and if you honestly don't feel any different try this trick- take 14 two litter bottles of water/coke whatever (about what you have lost) diide them into bacgs/backpacks so you can carry them- walk around for 5 minutes
put them down

do you feel the difference now?

Your waist looks much smaller

I've lost over 56 lbs and although some people say they can see the difference others just say they never thought i was that big :O , it can be disheartening but don't give up!

it's a little hard to see (dark clothing and you have the light on your back) but you definitely are smaller - your waist is smaller (sorry i mean - WOW you got a great waist!!), your boobs do look bigger but I think it's becase your body is tightening up a bit, your thighs look slimmer. I have a feeling you lost mostly from your tummy which is why you aren't going down in sizes. (I think that's what is happening to me).

I would go back and take photos wearing the same clothign as in the first photo.

almost 30 pounds gone, but don't feel a difference.
