Stay strong and keep on going believe in yourself.  Your clothes will tell the difference, I am sure the mirror will show you a game/life changing event 1 day.

I had lost nearly 70 pounds before people really started noticing/commenting.  I remember feeling like I would still look fat even after losing all my weight... seriously.

I noticed my weight loss before even surgery. I could see my face staring to thin out the week before surgery when I was on my liquid diet. But I still notice almost everyday. Just this past week I have noticed that my knees of more definition. Its always kinda weird stuff like that. I can also feel it in my clothes. There are already things that I wore all the time and are now way too big on me. I have heard people say that this is the fun time when you get to watch the pounds just fall away and I guess I am seeing that. Honestly they are still falling away slower than I thought that they would but they are still coming off. Hang in there, one day you will wake up and look in the mirror and see the changes!

For me it wasn't until around 60-70 lbs before people started saying anything...but it was noticeable sooner.  I think people are just scared to make mention of anyone's weight.

If you don't see it much yourself but your clothes are hanging, get smaller clothes! Until I got rid of my larger clothes and started wearing things that fit, I couldn't see much of a difference either.

I use my watch band and how loose it has become on my wrist as a mental note to myself about my loss.
