Can you tell the difference?

Hello everyone!

I've been a member of MFP for 3 years now in which I've super super slowly lost 62 pounds.

I'm proud of myself but I am having some huge problems really telling the difference in how I look.

I have a lot of NSV's which is great but I also want to look slimmer.

I think I might just carry weight well so when I lose it it's not too noticeable. My friends and family haven't really noticed either (might be because it's been such a slooow lost).


What do ya'll think?

Maybe a little in my stomach and chest.

Anyway success is success!! I've got like 50-60 more to lose so let's go!

    I see a difference. I think that people don't comment because they don't want to insinuate that someone was heavier before. It is happening to me too. I have lost 54 pounds. People either comment like WOW...or not at all.

    Totally see a difference! When my first weight loss was finally noticeably, my mom told me I looked ill. That I just didn't look like myself. So no comments are sometimes a blessing!!! You look fabulously more firm. Keep up the fantastic work!

    My stomach like hoards all the fat, first to gain it and last place to lose it. So although I feel like I'm not making much progress, that's def not true. I know it's hard for us to get out of that mindset.

    I know how you feel. I'm in the same boat. But I can see loss on your thighs, definitely stomach, chest and upper arms. Great job!!

    You can so tell, especially around your middle. I'm sure it's because it's been a slow process. I can tell you, I have a lot to lose, and it can be so discouraging sometimes to work so hard and have no one notice. I've been at this seriously almost four months now, and I've lost 15lbs that I'm super excited about, but I'm celebrating on my own, lol. I know that it takes others much longer to notice, but don't worry, you are doing great! stick to it!!

    Oh yes being a slow loser can be so daunting when you see so many who lose 100+ in a year!

    what's good that I've noticed is when I do fall off the wagon and eat badly, I NEVER GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK. I always only maintain! Which is crazy! So sometimes it's good to be a slow loser :P

    I think you look much smaller. But you are right, if it was a very gradual loss, people that see you all the time will think you were always that small.
