    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:

    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!

    I can totally see the difference! I few years ago I lost (and have now gained back) 85 pounds and as the weight came off, I'd feel like my body was stuck in appearing a certain way even when the scale said I was dropping weight. I could lose 10-15 pounds and not see a thing. But then I'd lose one more pound and miraculously see a huge adjustment in my body's appearance. I became convinced that it comes of in layers. (No science behind this, just my personal thoughts.) It helped me to stick with it when it got hard. It was almost like a game...how many more pounds before that layer is GONE!?! You're doing great, and I agree with what others have said, you're being too critical and hard on yourself. You're inspiring me! Thank you!!!

    Yep, everyone's right- including your man- there's a big difference! I also wanted to encourage you that you've lost about 10% of your body weight. Even if you're feeling like you have a long way to go, I hope you'll be encouraged by the fact that, health-wise, 10% of your body weight makes a huge difference! Check out this article:

    Keep it up! Congratulations!!

    I can see clearly now - as the song lyrics say! Your face has definitely slimmed and I can also see a difference in your abdomen. You are really doing well and I understand what you mean about not seeing the difference. I find I can see it quickly at first, but then suddenly I don't notice more changes for quite a while. It's funny how our brains don't catch up to our bodies sometimes! Best of luck to you!
