Girl, buy yourself some pretty new clothes. What is wearing a man style t-shirt going to show you?

I'm new here, but girl!!! Huge difference! I thinks sometimes we look through our "fat" glasses when we look at ourselves. Lay the pics side by side. Start by looking at the new definition in the face, and neck area. Then scroll down the body. There is a huge difference even if the shirt is big! You rock on girl!!! I'm proud for you!

You must be kidding...in your after photo you can see your waist has gotten smaller, your face slimmer..

I understand how you feel though..I dropped two szs but can't seem to get it through the head..it takes times but we will get there...hang on in there :smile2:

I see a huge difference. I also have lost 52 lbs, and I know that I have went from a size 26-28 down to a 22-24. I don't really see it in pics, but I know I have lost because other people have noticed. I feel better, loo better too. Definately have more energy.

Cheryl Ann, the same thing happened to me .. about the 50 lbs mark ... but then I have to lose a total of 200 lbs ! so being big and tall .. it took a while for people to notice.. so I took photos every month.. and in those photos you can definately SEE the difference .. also.. take your measurements... you will see yourself losing many inches ... and you will be going down in dress sizes.. etc... it wont' be long and people will notice... and when they do.... you will feel even more invigorated to keep on track ... good luck !

agree about the clothes...might even be time to try styles that you didn't feel comfortable with before. I think once overweight we tend to stick to the styles that "hid' our weight before WL... in clothes and hair. I also have found that with loss...and even with gain...I always had to reevaluate my bra styles...I'd get used to buying grandma bras with little or no support and definitin...and a good underwire did wonders.

You look great. I bet people are not commenting out of ignorance. They may not be sure if you want the attention or not. I have found that either that is all people talk about or they tip toe around it.

I have to agree there is a huge difference! I can understand though. I have lost 35 pounds but because I have close to 200 pounds to lose it is not very noticable. I get discouraged but remember that eventually I will be smaller.

You look marvelous! I agree with the others, though, buy some new clothes that fit. I have lost 53lbs and gone from a 22 to an 18. All I have in my wardrobe now is 18. Wearing clothes that fit makes a huge difference in how you see yourself!

You are doing a brilliant job and have faith the rest will come off too!

I, too, love your TARDIS! Big DR WHO fan!

Good luck everyone!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
