Basically I've gone from 10 stone and a half to 9 stone 2 yet when looking back I cannot for the life of me see any difference in my body, shape or size!
Here's a quick comparison photo.

Can anyone else see it? What am I doing wrong?

    You are joking - right?? I can see huge changes everywhere but look at your face and arms and butt! You have done an amazing job - but you look great in your first photo as well:smile:

    I see a difference! You definitely look slimmer on the right. It might not be a huge difference like some people, but you weren't big to begin with. I think it's most noticeable in your thighs and jawline.

    I actually think you look smaller in the one on the right. You look fit, so don't worry so much! :) I think it's because you chose to do different poses and also, you're clothed. There's no telling what changes occurred you can't see. :D

    There most certainly is a difference between the two.

    Well I'm glad some can see it! Maybe it's because I see it everyday so it's harder to spot, not very motivating though. Yeah the left is from a few months ago while the right was this week :-)
    Thank you everyone anyway! Will have my dream summer body eventually haha! :-)

    It could be mostly internal changes, and i'm not entirely certain, but your face does look slightly different, may be the angle though. It's difficult to see a change in yourself when dropping the pounds after a certain period of time. I went from 160 to 140 and while my waist and hip measurements are a decent deal lower, if I see myself from behind in a mirror i'm still chunky with no real difference in shape whatsoever, whereas looking at the front my abdomen is more defined, less breast mass and showing ribs.
    I will say though that you look great and while you may not be able to see it, you must be doing something right and I suppose only time will tell!

    Well I feel healthier so that's a good sign:-) 10lbs to go! Yeah I know exactly what you mean there. Still not a fan of what's looking back at me in the mirror, it's as if I'm still at day 1. Aw thank you so do you!:-)

    I definitely see the changes, in your face, your waistline, your thighs... it's harder for us to notice when there is less to lose, I take progress photos regularly, and wouldn't have noticed the change week on week, but over 4 months I can see it
