Hi folks,

I was just wondering, for those further along in their fitness journey and a similar starting weight, when did you start noticing weight loss? I'm down 11lbs from my starting and I don't notice any difference. Please share when you started to visually notice the change. I know I'm only 8.09% into my journey but I could use some info from others. Thank you.

    I get how that is, I've found in the past that it's super important to recenter your relationship with food. I have a pretty unhealthy relationship myself but I'm working on it.

    I'm about 30 lbs down from SW (~250ish, was 220 and change at last weigh-in). I started getting comments around the -15lb mark, although I also don't talk much about my weight loss journey with people in meatspace, so I don't know if people noticed sooner and just didn't say anything to me about it. I can see a difference, in my face especially, when I look at a picture from 6 months ago vs a selfie from 6 seconds ago, but it's harder to see in the mirror. I think the key is to have multiple sources of data - take measurements in addition to stepping on the scale, pay attention to how clothes are fitting (and maybe try something on from your "someday" pile - don't we all have clothes that fit X lbs ago that we hold onto in hopes of fitting into it again someday?), take progress photos. Progress photos is something I regret not doing for these first 30 lbs but I also keep forgetting to take them LMAO.

    I started at 271 and didn't really start noticing the changes until about 20 lbs down. I found comparing pictures to be the most helpful because I didn't notice the small changes in the mirror day to day. I am 54lbs down now and still going!
