I am starting to feel it, my biggest was 424lbs when this first piccy was taken. Tonight i tried on the same dress and my fiance sadi he can see a big difference already, im currently 384lbs unfortunatly im not seeing it, but i no that ourselves are our biggest critiques!. Its made me feel quite deflated actually :(

Anyway im hoping that maybe you can also see a small difference

424lbs

    I use photobucket.com. Upload the pic there, then copy the image code. Paste it onto here and change the to lowercase.

    I started at 246.2 in March and have lost a little over 40 so far too. My husband says he sees a big difference. I can only see a small one. I do know that I've lost a pants size, that part is nice. I stil have another 20 ish pounds to go.

    You can do it!!!

    My first gut reaction when looking at the first two pictures was "oh honey, I can see more than a SMALL difference!" It may be hard for you to see yourself, but I can definitely tell - your waist/stomach area is visibly smaller. I know it may seem insurmountable when you have a lot to lose, but just take it one day/week at a time and focus on how much you've lost (instead of how far you have to go) and you'll get there. YOu're doing great!!

    Totaly agree, was just about to say the same... Have you taken mesurements as they have kept me going when the scales stayed the same for example or I just could not see it.... Keep up the great work you are doing :bigsmile:

    thanks all for your lovely replys and word of encouragment!

    Yes i can feel it in my clothes now, i bought clothing for my hoilday in 2 sizes too small and there all fitting now, i guess when u have a long way to go it can feel tedious as the results arnt goign to show as much as if i only had a small amount to loose.!!

    When i reach 100lbs lost i'll post more piccys :)

    I know how you feel! I have also lost 40 pounds and have about 100 more to go and I feel like I don't see any difference except in my face. However, when I look at you, I see the difference on you! You are looking good chica! Keep it up and before long, we will both notice it on ourselves soon!
