    There is a big difference! You're doing great! Often it takes our eyes and head to catch up with our bodies. We are so used to "seeing" us fat, we don't always notice. But others can give you more honest feedback. :)

    I didn't think about that, I have always wanted to go sky diving maybe I will make that one of my rewards! Btw, you can totally tell the difference you should let us see a face pick! Are you taking measurements? If not, start now! Also, do you have a couple of face pics?

    You can totally notice you have slimmed down. 40 pounds is a huge accomplishment so don't worry too much about the pics right now! Skydiving is sooo worth it...have fun!

    Nice job! I can see the very noticeable difference.

    I'm in the same boat though, I can't tell much of a difference in myself yet either.

    I can definitely tell the difference. Don't be discouraged...just keep up the good work. It takes a while to put on weight and it will take a while to get it off. It will be well worth it though. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Make sure you tell us all about your skydiving experience when you reach that weight goal. You're way more brave than I. My uncle is a retired Army Colonel and Army Ranger. He's jumped thousands of times out of perfectly good airplanes. I'm too scared of heights LOL!

    Congrats! That's a considerable amount to lose. And in a really short period of time, too. There is a visible difference, but don't be discouraged if you can't see it yet. We're pretty hard on ourselves in regard to appearance.

    Keep with it and you'll see a difference soon. Another 40 pounds and you'll be astounded with the difference.
