Don't be discouraged. I lost 35 lbs. On top went down 2 sizes. But only one pant size. I think fat slides down hill. 

Add in walking even if it’s just a couple of minutes a day and build up. 

I started at the same weight as you and am down 28 pounds. I am just now starting to notice changes in how my clothes fit, but haven't went down any sizes yet. When your big like we are, it takes about 40 pounds to really notice a change. At least that's what I've been told. Go to the store and pick up a 20 pound bag of potatoes...that is how much you have lost. You should be proud of your accomplishment so far and looking forward to further losses. Keep up the great work! 

Thank you guys ❤️ 

I dropped 50 before I really noticed anything. but like shiny said b proud of yourself. Your not doing this for others to notice, you r doing this for yourself. keep it up your doing great. 

If you aren't already- You need to take measurements!! Its coming off of somewhere- Its fun to know where exactly and keep you motivated! Stick with it. 

Don’t be discouraged jasmine6313 I’ve lost 75 lbs and a lot of people don’t see a difference either and I’ve got a lot more to loose so hang in there 

Lately I've had to put in a good week work, before 'pay day' comes around. Have had to support myself by telling myself 'pay day' will come. And it does. Everything feels a lot better. It will come. Blindly carry on, and you'll get your day. 

Some people need to lose more than that before others notice it, keep going, soon you will not need to tell people you are losing weight, at first they will tell you: you have lost weight! congratulations and that will make you happy 😊, but then they will tell you: Be careful,you don't need to get too thin. (I am already here and I get mad when I hear that)🙄🤣 

Don’t feel discouraged hun. I had a huge NSV from a friend I haven’t seen in 6 months, today. It took literally 1.5 months-4 for the ones closest to me to say something. 

I lose weight much more quicker on the top part. Usually face first. 

In 6-8 months you will see changes 

How long did it take you to get to 285 lbs ? 

It doesn't matter. Do you feel better? That's the question you need to be asking yourself. Right? 

Very soon people will notice, all the other love handles go😁😁 You look more toned in the same size and you look younger!! Hang on! Keep losing !! 

Rosio is right. I didn't check your weight but I can tell you when I was your size, no one noticed my weight loss until I lost probably 50#... But soon after that, every pound seems to count and everyone will start noticing all at once. 

My grandma tells me my face looks thinner but I don’t notice it. You are your own worst critic I guess. I’ll keep on keepin on til I hit my goal weight. Thank you guys ❤️
