    i see it in photos, though :)

    actually i AM starting to see it in the mirror, but i often wonder if its REAL or imaginary/wishful thinking, so i will say i still dont see it, since i dont BELIEVE it.

    I lost just over 2 stone and to be honest it was only the last 3kg that I noticed any real difference (to me anyway).

    I had 125 to lose. I started noticing changes in how my clothes fit at 30 pounds lost. At 50 pounds lost I couldn't see my belly when I looked down. And at 56 pounds lost I actually "feel" skinny. Weird feeling. I know it's all just in my brain and me being so use to being so overweight but I feel great even though I still have 69 pounds to go. It took about 45 pounds before anyone else noticed.

    Not noticed any visible changes after 17 lbs lost. To be fair, I did not notice (nor did most people) a significant change during my last 45-50 lbs of gain, so I doubt I will notice a significant difference till I lose those 45-50 lbs. To put it in perspective, my starting weight was 295, current weight is 278.5, and goal weight is 200. My height is 6'4". It could be that the main weight I have noticed is my stomach, and it has been unchanged since 245 lbs or so and my weight has added on more evenly elsewhere.

    I am biggish but, at 30 the employees at my gym noticed. I see my clothes are looser but I am not sure I see it. My shoes are all stupid big.

    It has been hard for me to see it just looking at myself in the mirror. It is way easier to see it in pictures. I have only recently noticed at 40lbs down that my roll of back fat has vanished.

    I'm quite hard on myself in general (working on that too!) so for me, it took quite a while for me to notice any significant changes. I think I actually gave myself credit and started thinking "Ok yes, I'm looking different now" after around 25 lbs. It's different for everyone but progress pictures are an absolute must in my opinion! :D
