Almost down 30, when do I see the difference?

Brains are weird. It took me a long time to see anything different in the mirror (for context, I've gone from 367.8->188.8, so I've covered a lot of ground, so to speak). I recommend the following:
- take measurements and track them over time
- if you can handle photographs, take them and look for changes there rather than in the mirror
- pay attention to how your clothes fit
- be zen, bask in everyone's compliments, and realize that you'll be able to see your progress eventually

But like I said, brains are weird, and we don't always see ourselves as other see us. I'm currently feeling enormously fatter, which makes no sense at all, so I'm just ignoring it.

Great work on losing ~30 pounds! Keep up the good work!

I'm having the same experience. Started at 294 a couple of months ago, now I'm 265 and I barely notice. Other people do though. Trust in the scale and in the people complimenting you, who have more objective eyes.

I feel like between one day and the next, I noticed. But it was little things... like being able to see my collar bones. Then the little things started adding up and my brain finally caught up with the fact that I really had lost weight.

My family (which I see rarely) commented almost immediately but my coworkers took awhile and then it was a cautious "have you lost weight?" "Yes, 20% of my body weight " I think people who see you every day are able to adjust to the small changes without thinking about it. They have to actively notice something that makes them realize that the "one-year-ago-you" doesn't look like the "now-you" before the change sinks in. Especially if they dont know you're working on weight loss.

There may also be an aspect of not looking at the same places others are. Maybe your face and hands or calves are shrinking which others can easily see and you might be looking at your belly in frustration, thinking it's not working.

But it's working and you're doing great! You've got this!
