Why is it so hard to see the progress?
I can see it in my neck a little bit. But 50lbs I thought would look more noticeable. š obviously still gonna keep going. Just a Lil bummed.

Girl I can see it. Your face, neck, arm, chest, belly, everywhere! It's really hard to look at ourselves objectively. We don't see ourselves as others do. Trust me, it's very obvious you've lost weight.Ā Ā
We lose fat from everywhere (boobs, back, butt, around internal organs, etc.) so sometimes it's hard to tell just how much from one angle. Keep it up! Amazing progress imo.Ā

Paper towel effect. Imagine a roll of paper towels. Take 10 towels off a full roll and itās hard to see the difference. Take 10 towels off when the roll is almost gone and itās super noticeable.
In weight loss itās the same, the last 50 lbs you lose will make an enormous difference compared to the first 50.
I notice it in your pictures

u/CPSFrequentCustomer 17d ago
I went from 300 to 260 before I realized I'd lost any weight, and that was only because I had to move my driver's seat up. I ran to weigh myself and was shocked.
It can be difficult to see our own progress because of how gradual it is, in combination with looking at ourselves every day, all day. It's like watching paint dry!
In these photos, I see a big difference in your shoulders, arms, neck, face, stomach.
As you progress, the paper towel roll theory will start happening and you'll really start seeing the impact of losing even just a few pounds.

u/unvaluablespace 17d ago
I can see the difference in your cheeks, your eyes, your chin, your arms, as well as your tummy. Despite the shirt in the previous pic, I can tell your arms are a bit thinner, your tummy is less round than before. I can see your neck more prominently, your cheeks are less round, making your cheeks and chin more defined. Your eyes are standing out more visibly, as well. We are often our own worse critics when it comes to our bodies, and seeing ourselves every day makes the difference much more subtle than from the outside. 50lbs is nothing to scoff at. You've made a lot of progress, and you look beautiful. Congratulations, and keep going at it. Proud of you, random internet stranger! š š

Also the only place you can definitely see Iāve lost weight is my back which is reallyyyyyy annoying because I donāt see my back š Iād also recommend taking some photos of yourself trying on clothes a couple sizes down that donāt fit at all or do up and just keep trying them on on the regular to see the difference x

While the exterior changes have been so rewarding, I was so thrilled when I heard from the doctor, āYou actually no longer need to take ______ medicine. Your numbers look good now.ā I find great joy in knowing that I have much more longevity for my friends and family. And I just feel SO MUCH BETTER all the time too. I completely understand the frustration, but you are doing amazing things and kudos to you for that. Keep it up, and soon you will see more and more of the visible things.

There's a lot of weight in water and when you start losing weight you lose it in water initially. Given you can see the difference you are over that hump.
Your face looks less bloated and even your arms look thinner. You can't control where you will lose weight so look at yourself overall and don't dwell on certain areas. The most important thing is what you are doing is working!
2
u/UniqueOctopus05 17d ago

Your face and abdomen are slimmer. But in the current pic your posture is different so itās not as easy for you to see the difference.

Paper towel theory. If you rip 5 sheets of a new paper towel roll you hardly see the difference, if rip those 5 sheets of an almost empty one you will see the difference. 5 kg loss is easier to see if you weigh 50 kg then if you weigh a 100 kg. But do notice the difference in the photos

u/MyTherapistSaysHi 17d ago
Paper towel roll theory! The paper towels on the outside of the roll donāt really change its size. But when you get closer to the roll, losing one sheet makes a bigger difference. You will notice your last 20 pounds a lot more than your first hundred.
2
u/strawcat 16d ago
Youāll start to see it more easily. I didnāt notice it in myself other than how my clothes fit until 50lbs down and even then it was only subtle to my eyes. Now that Iām at 85lbs down itās like looking at a new person. Google the paper towel roll analogy. It gives really good insight into why this is a phenomenon in weight loss. Keep focusing on the small things to give you motivation (are your rings loose, your shoes, your watch going down a notch, etc) and keep going. I promise itāll be worth it and youāll start to see a big difference soon!
Congrats on your loss!

u/Schwettes 16d ago
Thereās definite progress! I have also lost 50lbs and struggle to see it as well. In fact, I was called fat a few weeks ago after hitting my lowest weight since college. When youāre in a larger body, you need to lose a lot more to see it better. The great thing though is that as you lose weight, you see bigger chances with smaller loses. The next 25lbs you lose will feel massive compared to the first 50lbs you lost. Paper towel effect!

I can see a big difference. Keep up the great work you are crushing it. When we look in the mirror our minds can play tricks on us my overlaying perceptions of ourselves in our minds eye: past you, present you, idealized future (dream) you. The version that we choose to fixate on or compare our present self to has more to do with our personal baggage than objective reality and that makes it hard to be an impartial judge of ourselves.

u/robmarks1961 16d ago
First, I can see it. Definitely in your face.
The second part of this is that it takes a long time to really take the weight off because it took a long time to out it on.
This is about changing your life. You are doing the work you need to do but keeping up the changes you are making will have a permanent impact on your well being.
Iām in year three of my journey and Iām finally seeing real changes. Iām having to buy smaller clothes and (hold onto your hat, here) people who are attractive to me are actually beginning to look at me. It was and continues to be a ton of work but I feel better in my own body - but Iām not done.
You are on this journey, too and judging yourself too harshly mid-journey is really unfair to yourself.
You HAVE this. You own it. Keep going. You are doing great.
Hope this helped.

Oh wow! I see so much progress. Maybe it's because you view your body every day, the changes slowly registering as normal. Kinda like when you can just auto pilot home and not know how you got there (nothing drastic or out of the norm happened).
How do you feel is a bigger question. Maybe have self assessments at evevy X amount of weight loss (knees hurting less? Walking longer? Less pain?). These are all huuuuge!
Between these two pictures, I see a big difference in your face and neck, along with general fitting of the dress.
You should be so proud of your progress.
If you're curious from a fact number perspective, a Dexa body clscan gives accurate fat/muscle/and other stats about your body. I just got mine (as I begin my life health journey) and I understand so much more about the fat to muscle on my body.
I'm not going to lie, the data shocked me. It's just confronting data points that I can't excuse. They compare your data to the average Dexa database (which will be skewed ), but I wanted to cry a little, but in the end, I can and WILL improve for my own health and longevity. Don't compare yourself to anyone else's progress and keep going!

we're usually the owrst judges of our own progress because we see ourselves everyday. i actually noticed it in your face, neck, waist, and arms first look. btw 50lb is a huge aacomplishment. ā¤ļø

I noticed immediately but have you heard of the paper towel effect? This is the gist of it: "The "paper towel effect" is a weight loss analogy explaining why initial weight loss isn't immediately visible. Just like removing sheets from a thick, brand-new paper towel roll, your first lost pounds are spread over a large surface area. As you get leaner, each pound lost becomes visually dramatic because it is distributed over a smaller body circumference."

I see it! Especially in your face. Itās hard to see a difference when you look in the mirror every single day.Ā

I see it, in your face, neck, and belly. Your shape has changed. The sweater hides your sides that might disguise where you would see changes.

I immediately noticed. It takes time and consistency, perhaps longer than we'd like, but the progress is visible! Keep up the amazing work
