The photo on the right is of me yesterday where I weighed 244 lbs, so far I've lost 88 lbs but I don't think it looks like I've lost that number, any thoughts or am I being blind, I just can't see it.

You are wrong. We do not see much of your body, but it definitely shows in your face that you have lost a tremendous amount of body fat.

Congrats!

Well, I can't see ALL 88 lbs, because the after picture is a head shot, but what I CAN see just in comparing head and shoulders to head and shoulders is a tremendous difference. Your face, neck, and shoulders are much thinner and more defined.

The weight loss around your face, neck, and arms especially, really shows off your shoulders and masculine features. You're quite attractive even heavier, but now the thinner neck and cheeks give your face and upper body an even more attractive, stronger, leaner, even more masculine handsomeness. The weight loss in your upper arms and chest also emphasizes and broadens your shoulders.

I think the change is quite noticeable.

Hope you don't mind a female perspective, I didn't notice I was posting in men's corner (I always browse new posts, and sometimes don't notice where the posts are coming from).


(I feel like I've accidentally stumbled into the men's locker room).

thanks for the opinions, i'll try to get up a full body photo tomorrow for better comparison.

You look very different IrishLad. Well done!

you sure do look different. your face is changing and attaining shape and definition. trust me from experience that your mind takes longer to see the changes than the reality of it all. I have lost 140lbs and sometimes I don't feel small but all my friends tell me I am skinny. it comes down to comparing yourself between old self & new and not ever to other people. you have done a tremendous thing and no doubt you feel hella better. think about it. you have lost a small child in weight. that is awesome.

Oh yes, you can see the difference! Congratulations, that's mighty impressive!

Dang what a difference, great job!

Thanks everyone, seeing the comments is certainly great motivation for me.

This forum has saved me many a time from quitting when I started first, if I never joined here I reckon I would have given up, joining the forum is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Thank you all deeply.

Definitely a difference, keep up the good work!

Looking good!

Totally a big difference. Looking at the headshot, my mind fills in with the thought of an average weight man. When i zoom in to just have a headshot on the left, my mind doesn't fill in the same thought.

Congratulations, you are doing great!

Well done! You look great!

Very noticeable - you look great! Keep it up!

From I have noticed when people are losing weight. They tend to not see the difference in themselves. I think your mind is playing tricks on you lol. You can see the change just with the current face picture that you have.

You are doing a great job! I recently just gained all my weight back lol I will gladly take any tips that helped you lose weight

Keep up the good work!!!!
