74 pounds is a substantial amount, so try to not be discouraged. You're doing fantastic and looking good. I bet you're wearing smaller clothes than you were this time last year, and that this time next year they'll be even smaller.

It is normal to not see much change (for quite a while) when we start out pretty heavy. Our eyes just aren't sensitive to "less fat". We just see "fat" and "fit".

You'll really start seeing the difference when you get down to wearing clothes under size 20. (I started at size 24 and am size 20 now, but people can't tell except my face).

You look amazing!

Remember you see yourself every day. Others that only see you occasionally will notice. I see quite a difference

I'm down 78 pounds in 6 months and I also don't see it. But I feel better and my son who hasn't seen me since Christmas noticed in a profile picture of mine.

So don't get discouraged.

Also, the sizes haven't gone down like I thought they would but I'm WAY more comfortable in my clothes


Even though I knew I was smaller and my body was changing I never felt a big difference until I was in normal sizes. I started at a tight 28, it was until I hit a 12 that I really felt small and successful.

Just keep losing.
