I have lost 20 pounds so far in 7 weeks but i don't feel any physical changes actually even when my waist came down to 38 from 40. I have been exercising everyday and have made sure it's not muscle mass that i lost. When do i start feeling those physical changes ?

    I didn't start to notice anything until after I had lost about 33 lbs ... 16 weeks into the diet.

    I'd suggest you take progress pics and take measurements. You may not notice the changes because you see yourself every day, but if you looked back at a pic from 20 lbs ago I bet you'd see a difference.

    Yes! The photos definitely help.

    You are almost certainly going to be the last one who notices changes. I was telling a friend sometimes I still don't really "see" the changes when I look into a mirror, and he got a good laugh out of it, because logically, at 130 lb down, literally everyone who ever knew me noticed.

    The body's sense of self is a weird thing. I don't think I ever saw myself as fat as I really was, either.
