I couldn't see a difference until now...

I look in the mirror every day and could not see a difference. I know there's one because I went from a size 22 to a size 16. I've lost inches - 4 from the hips and 6.5 on my waist. I knew I was shrinking, but I couldn't tell and it was frustrating me so much. I took before pics 2 months ago after I had already lost almost 20lbs. I am down another 17lbs since then and I decided to retake progress pics. I'm wearing the same clothes in both pics and I compared them side by side and NOW I SEE IT! My belly doesn't stick out further than my boobs now. :D Awwww yeah....

    Not only did your belly shrink, your arm, back and neck are smaller, too. It's crazy what 17 lbs looks like isn't it?

    Yeah, it's definitely visible. Your arms are much slimmer, your lower back, your tummy's down a lot, and the chin. Also, look at your cheekbones!

    Keep at it. I reckon when you drop another 10-15lb, the difference will suddenly be remarkable. Well done so far. You're doing really well!

    Huge difference & I agree with many of the other comments - your arm looks 1/2 the width it was! Am sure it will become more and more noticeable with each pound now you've shifted a whole load. Congrats :D

    Congratulations, what fantastic progress!

    It is really fascinating to have such good like-for-like comparison pics and see exactly where the weight is shifting. Shame you haven't got one from before your first 20lb loss.

    excellent! yes, you can see the difference in your arm as well as your neck. the chin/neck area adds years when it's chubby, so I think you look younger too!

    keep up the great work!

    Goo job...a number on a scale is just a number...but when your clothes get loose and you can see the results in your body's shape it can be amazing... keep up the good work
