    Do you have before and after pictures of yourself that you can look at?
    That seems a more reasonable comparison to assess your results.

    I’d be cautious about comparisons to others - bodies that lost over a third of their weight don’t have the same appearance as bodies that have maintained a steady weight, for one reason. The other reason is that we are each carry our bones, muscles and fat differently.

    I'm 5'5'' - My before picture on this thread is at 128, https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10701468/before-and-after-photos-throw-em-up/p6

    I entirely agree with the other poster who mentioned that 128 on you and 128 on someone else the same height won't be the same.

    In the after photo I weighed 122 - a 6 pound difference between the two photos. The after photo is 6 months after adding lifting weights into my routine. The before photo was all cardio based.

    This is the only vaguely decent picture I have for comparison, 134lbs.

    My goal weight is around 130ish though I'm more interested in lowering my bodyfat than worrying about scale weight.

    I'm a little shorter and few pounds heavier but I know how you feel - I've lost 45lbs and 37.25 inches this year, but have still been feeling like I'm 190lb. I keep thinking that I still have a ways to go.

    Part of the reason might be that I am in old clothes (jeans especially) as I just have not had a chance to buy new yet, part might be the weight loss stall I have had for about a month. However, having said that, over the last couple of days I have had "Holy Crap! I lost 45lbs! I look good!" moments and am ready to celebrate that! Looking at old photos definitely helped me see it (as well as trying on a pair of shorts that literally fell off).

    Congratulations on your loss - Own what you have accomplished and enjoy!

    Congratulations!! Go to the thrift shop. That’s what I’ve been doing to get jeans.

    Wow, OP - I can see a big difference! It's hard to notice changes taking place with your own body - the before/after photos really help

    Yes it does. I hadn’t seen that before picture in a long time. When I was posting it I finally saw it!
