Okay, so this is my first time posting on MFP. I started my journey at 294 pounds back in October. I've lost 50 pounds but I struggle to see a difference in myself (maybe it's because I see myself every day?). The first pic is from July of last year around my heaviest weight and the last pic is from this month, 49 pounds lost. I still have a long way to go but MFP helps me so much, it's amazing!

    Yep, I too can tell a big difference all over! You may not be able to tell yourself, but I know you've had to get some smaller clothes!

    I wish I would've taken some 'before' pictures because I can't tell a difference in myself either. I find myself telling people that I've lost 20 lbs, then explaining how 20lbs isn't noticeable on someone my size, it's like someone who weighs 130 losing (or even gaining) 2 lbs, there's not much of a visible difference. Many people say they can really see it in my face (well my double chin) but I can tell a difference in my the way my clothes fit.

    What's most important, though, is that we feel better physically and mentally! And from that smile, I know you feel better!! I can't weight til I get to the 50lb mark...hope I'm smiling as bright as you are!!

    Keep up the great work....you ROCK!

    I can see a difference. BTW - next time you are at the store - have a look at a 10lb bag of potatoes. Multiply by 5 - that's what you are no longer carrying around hun! Great job!
