First of all i started at 401 lbs i took NO full body pics at that time. So the first pic was taken 5/2010 at 380ish pounds and second pics 6/2011 at 360 pounds. Can anyone see any weight loss from even the 380ish pic?

    I'm SURE there is a difference, but it will be impossible to tell for two reasons. 1. you're wearing different clothes that fit you differently 2. your "after" picture is taken at a much lower angle than your before picture. So, for those who can't see you in person, we're comparing apples to oranges. Still, the 20 + 20 loss is a GREAT achievement and I can guarantee you, there is a huge difference. Way to go!!!!

    OMGosh! You can definitely see it!! Especially in your arms and legs! It's hard to see our own loss because we see ourselves every minute of everyday. It's like my college biology teacher once told me, "If you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you put the frog in a pot of cold water and then put it on to boil, the frog will simply sit and be cooked." Keep up the awesome work and Congrats on the 40 pounds lost! :) Just remember that while it might take a long time to get to your goal weight, the time is going to pass anyway, so you might as well put the time to good use! If you would like some positive support for your journey (I'm going to be around for a while, I have another 132 ish pounds left to lose before I get to my first big goal weight), please feel free to add me!

    On another note, I understand where you are coming from. My weight peaked in February 2011, when me and my family had to live in a hotel (eating almost exclusively fast food) for a month following a fire in our house, at 375 ish pounds. I've been here on My Fitness Pal for 9 weeks today, and in that 9 weeks I've lost 18.4 pounds and LOTS of inches! I started here on MFP at 370.6 and today I am 352.2! Please don't give up because it's hard to see the difference. I promise you that if you stick to it, you WILL be able to see and, more importantly, FEEL a difference! Best of luck in your journey! ~Amanda~
