    It is common for this to happen because you see yourself daily, so changes aren't as noticeable. The taller and larger you are typically means that the changes can be more difficult to notice.

    Have you been taking progress pictures? They are typically better for comparison than just the mirror.

    I have taken pictures and my husband says he can see it in the pics, and my clothes fit differently. I am both tall and large

    Your size makes a big difference with this. The more you have to lose overall, the longer it takes to see a difference. If you are minimally overweight (or already at a healthy weight and just trying to lose a little bit more) it doesn't take as long.

    I am in the same boat. When I log my weight each week on the MFP app I take a selfie of just my face. After a few weeks I started seeing a difference there even though I can't see it otherwise.
