Again, I was starting at 285, and it took about 15 pounds til I lost a good inch or so. It's not all going to come off at just the waist, so that is usually why (well I would think anyway) it takes a while to notice a decent amount of loss in inches. Important thing is to remember that it WILL happen, and not to give up because you get discouraged.You're welcome.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I still feel like this, though I have lost a significant amount of weight and inches, I'm still much larger than I would like to be. Probably shortly after I got to the 100 pound mark I finally could look in the mirror, and realize that I do not look like Shamu anymore. lol.. I have only lost about 10 pounds since then back in February (so 110 pounds down now) and it is excruciatingly slow going after knocking all of that weight off. I am still able to see a difference every so often, but certainly not anywhere near the progress I had for the first year. I can COMPLETELY relate to how you are feeling. I would suggest taking full body shots every month or so. Sadly, I did not start doing that til I got to 90lbs down, but I do have a few "before" pictures. Sometimes it can take any little detail to make it click, for me I celebrated my 100 pounds by getting my pictures taken. They turned out great and I was finally able to realize that I am in fact getting smaller. Also having to get my wedding ring re-sized cause it became way too loose.. and trying on shoes that used to be tight a year ago are now too loose. I won't make any promised on WHEN, but the time will come when you will just suddenly realize. I'm going to end my lonnnnnng book here. Hang in there. Thanks for the congrats, back atcha!
