Lost 17 lbs since re-joining but I don't feel it!

Hi I've lost 13 pounds but I don't feel hugely different. But there's a point at which I know it will start to show (been through this all before!) and I am about 4 pounds away from that point. Don't get me wrong, I feel better than I did, but I don't think anyone else would notice that much at the moment. The important thing is to recognise that you are much healthier without all that weight you have lost so far and the further down the scale you get, the more you will notice it in the mirror. I checked my BMI this morning and I have moved back into the healthy range now, so even if I don't look massively different yet, at least I know that it's a positive result for my health. Anyway, if your friend has noticed, you must look slimmer so maybe it's a mindset?

I can definitely relate. I have lost 10 lbs with MFP and 32 lbs total down from my highest weight. Other people have noticed my weight loss more than I have. When I look in the mirror I do not see the change yet. I notice it more when my clothes are sagging from being to big for me now. I can tell you that I took a picture of myself in the mirror last week (my profile picture) and that is the first time that I saw the change in myself. I actually looked smaller in my eyes. It took me taking a picture of myself looking in the mirror before I saw the change. I finally saw some of the results from all of my hard work. I still have a ways to go but I tell you maybe looking at some old pictures and comparing with a current one will do the trick. It did wonders for me Hang in there because you have already had some awesome results and your progress is phenomenal. You will get there soon to where you will recognize the new you:bigsmile:
