Since the beginning of January I have lost just about 20lbs!! I however do not see a difference whatsoever.....i feel a little less bloated but my clothes fit the same and pretty much everything else feels the same. I was hoping my face would at least get slimmer. I havent really run into anyone I havent seen in a while so i have no one to actually notice for real if you can tell. Maybe I just dont see it, but I can tell you its not in my hips for sure. On Saturday I will be seeing some people (person) I havent seen since I lost the weight and I really want them to notice! I guess Im just trying to see if anyone else notices! Please dont tell me I look awesome even if you see no difference whatsoever.
The before pics are just randoms because I wasnt smart enough to take actual before pics! I really wish now I had.

These are some of the worst pics of me ever!!! especially if you compare them to my modelesque profile pics!!! I guess this is the real me though!! Looking at all of these pics honestly makes me sick!!! I cant believe I let myself get so HUGE!!!

This pic was taken October 2010

    It's hard to compare when they aren't side by side, but after reviewing them again, I can DEFINITELY see a huge difference in your face and your belly! WTG!! Keep up the good work!
  • Great progress!

    Your face is MUCH thinner! Its harder to tell on some of the other pics as you are dressed in black. Your belly looks flatter too! Especially between the Oct. 10 one and now.

    Keep going--you're doing great!

    A good friend of mine told me this as an observation when I was complaining about the same thing. On someone who is in a smaller size range, say they were 160 and went to 130 or even 120, the weight loss on them is going to be significantly more noticeable than on someone who is in a larger weight range. Honestly, don't get down on yourself! The scale is not lying! Even if you may not notice the difference it is there! You're doing a great job! Keep it up! :) :::hugs:::

    First of all... I want to say what a natural beauty you are... you know I do make up and you have the perfect bone structure and I'd kill for your hair....

    And I totally see a HUGE difference are you freakin kidding me? Look at your gorgeous self. In the face for sure, you have slimmed down a lot but I see it all over as well. You have a tiny waist and I'd kill for your rack (I had to put that in there and I can because we're close friends) Hun you are a beauty and I wish you could see you through my eyes and you'd see the amazing creature you truly are inside and out.

    You've totally lost weight in your midsection and face! I know how you feel though, I've lost 27 lbs and I still don't think I see a difference and I feel like my clothes fit the same, but a few people who I don't see that often have asked me if I've lost weight... It's hard to see a difference when you look at yourself in the mirror everyday! :) Keep up the good work!

    the rule of thumb i've heard is that people generally won't notice til you've lost about 10% of what your starting weight was (so for you I guess 22 or so pounds til they start noticing?). i'm sure it's not an exact science though.
    also you are beautifuuul. like so pretty. just had to say.

    your face really does look thinner. you look good. keep it up! people will start to notice dont give up
  • Please dont tell me I look awesome even if you see no difference whatsoever.

    ooooh girlfriends, you can notice the difference!!
    I can see that your face slim, and actually you lost quite a few inches off your waist.
    you can see it.

    Totally agree - the second last picture (current) you can really see a different in your face compared to the one from October. Keep up the hard work!

    I think you have done a great job with the 20 pounds. You can definitely see the difference. I am hoping that i have that kind of success. Please dont give up. Look at your pictures. That should give you confidence.

    I can definately tell a difference in your face. It's way more defined around your chin line.

    ya you can tell in your face. maybe a lot of it was water weight that brought your numbers down but i can see a slight difference... your face for sure. I was thinking the same thing about myself and within the last week i've noticed that i have seen changes in my body but idk. at first i didnt' see anything so it sucked. watch the salt intake i guess lol idk i'm not trained lol but good job i'm sure after you lose five more you'll start to notice it yourself but ... i can see a change for sure
