you know how weight looks extra on us...? 5 pounds gain can look like 10 on our bodies.
Do find that when you LOSE weight that it looks like you lost more then you actually did?

    Yes. Losing just 5 pounds makes a huge difference in how I look.

    Definitely. I saw the biggest change in my appearance when I lost the last ten pounds.

    Maybe it depends on how much weight you had to lose? I'm 5'2" and I've lost just over 40 pounds. I'm 3 pounds away from being out of the "obese" bmi range, so I'm still overweight and I feel like people are *just* starting to comment on my weight loss. My clothing sizes are starting to drop more quickly though in the past few weeks so I'm starting to see the differences more easily.

    I'm obese and have lost 15 lbs. so far. I can see it in my face only; hubby says he can tell the difference in my stomach as well as the face.

    I've gone from 200lbs to ~173lbs. I've seen it in my thighs a lil, my face, and my waist. Not my stomach or arms though -grumble-.

    AND DEFINITELY BOOBS. Baby come back... Any kinda fool could see... There was something in everything about you... D:

    Yeah I went from D cup to B ... A big B cup (lol) but I'm 141lbs.... My goal is to be 135lbs maybe 130, because I do not want to lose anymore boobs.

    I just reached my goal weight yesterday. I am 61inches on a good day:). Lost 37#. Completely changed my appearance I think.

    I will willingly hand off some of my boobage to any willing takers.
    Before the weight gain of 30lbs I was a 32AA. I rarely wore a bra.....because....well, why bother?
    After the gain....36DD, and they often are threatening to free themselves from the elastic and spandex torture chamber we call brassiere's.
    I always thought I wanted big boobies.
    I've changed my mind.
    I'm down 12ish pounds from the 30 I gained.....no sign of the girls going anywhere.
    In fact, I think some of the fat from my face made its way down to hide out with the boobs.
    Sigh

    And you look FANTASTIC. We're height twins, so I want more pictures from you.

    True even if you're only moderately short. I'm a 5'8.5" male - below average but not tiny. Losing my first 30 lbs dropped my waist by 1 pant size. The next 20 dropped another. The next 10 has dropped another.

    Buying clothes is expensive and the rate at which I need them seems to keep speeding up!

    I must be a weirdo because it doesn't look like I lost more and I don't see how a small gain will make me look huge. 5'1" btw.

    You are too kind! I do feel fantastic and that's what it is about;). You are inspiration to me seriously. I don't feel alone battling!

    I am going to PM you about more photos;-)
