I am by no means done and have only lost 26lb and I am getting disheartened so I thought I'd post pics and it may help me see it.... or not. I am still in the same size clothes and it doesn't feel like there is much of a difference in them. I even went out and brought a new size 18 dress one in the pic because I couldn't even attempt to try on a 16. I have never worn anything bigger than an 18 but its so frustrating that my weight is coming off yet I can't see where... Everyone else sees it but me.

    in the pictures that I can see, I see a huge difference! I see it the most in your arms and your face!! You're doing wonderful. I had the same frustrations lately (couldn't see the 22lbs i lost, and nobody else could either) then it was like one day I wokeup and EVERYONE was like wth? did you lose the 22lbs overnight!? all of a sudden it became insanely noticeable and NONE of my clothes fit now. Weird how that works, but maybe this will happen for you to see it in yourself as well. Also, we have a harder time seeing our own weightloss because we look at ourselves EVERYDAY, also, i think that sometimes we see how we look now and FORGET what we looked like to start with :)

    there are major changes in your pictures and i think you should study them and make sure you find each and every one :)

    Okay those last two pics are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! you look amazing. Also, if you're "still wearing the same clothes" take a picture of yourself in those same clothes. I can bet you they look baggy now. I think you're just not seeing that : )

    I was going to suggest the same thing.

    I wish you could see your successes through the eyes of others, you looking amazing!!

    Can definately see a difference. Congratz. ALso, many stores have the same # size but that does not mean they are the same.. I can buy a size 16 in one store and a 14 in another and a 18 in another and all fit so just keep moving on. You look fantastic !!

    Oh, it's obvious. I think we are the last to see. I am frustrated because the only place I've noticed 15 pounds lost is....get ready....IN MY FINGERS! Yep, you read that right. I can get my rings off easily, where before I figured they were on there forever!

    I can really see it in your face and waist! You've got a great hourglass going on in the last one :)

    You silly sausage!!!!! You look fantastically different!!!!! Totally agree, face (especially) waist and arms most of all. I truthfully can't believe you can't tell any difference with your clothes!!!!! Ok.... look at how BAGGY the jeans are in the picture of your (gorgeous) niece!!!

    26lbs ..... almost 2 stone, about 12 bags of sugar...... even if you can't SEE the difference, I bet your body, joints and heart can FEEL the difference!!!!!

    OMG.. yes.. you can certainly tell that you've lost the weight! You look great. I am having the same issue. I have lost 31 lbs.. and even though my clothes are looser, I haven't gone done in a size.. with the exception of in my scrubs. My old ones.. 2x are swimming on me, and I bought a new set XL which are tight.. but still. Real clothes wise.. my 18's are just comfortable now. Keep up the great work! You really can tell.. especially in your face and upper body!

    You look great and it is showing. I will tell you why it took a long time for me to get out of size 16. It was because I refused to buy anything larger even if it fit and looked good. So I found the size 16's I could squish into with effort. It took me 30 pounds shed to get me into size 14. No one seemed to notice, including me at the 25 pound mark, but there is some magic spot just beyond where you are now that everyone's jaw will drop and people will act strange around you. They will either beg for your secret method, or they will start offering you cupcakes at every turn because they are afraid your relationship with them will change if you become skinny. It is a funny ride, enjoy it, what you are doing is working, keep at it. Well done.

    That is exactly what I am thinking too!

    Loopy, are you blind or what? There is one hell of a difference there, to be honest, the way you were going on, I was looking for two photos that showed somebody roughly the same size!

    Listen, your weightloss shows for sure, so don't get disheartened because it is working!

    Regarding the clothes size, I am confused there, because by rights you should definitely be down a size or two, it just HAS to be do with the store you are buying them in or the cut of the manufacturer or something surely. The clothes sizing is very mysterious!

    WTG on your weightloss so far, you look terrific! xxx
