- Arainach 4y agoNot that I doubt you, but I'm surprised that you don't notice the changes. That's a range where there are huge differences in everyone I know who's managed to do it - particularly in the face, but in the body as a whole. I've only managed to drop 40 so far (260-220), but even then the difference in the gut is visible (even if many other areas aren't as much as I could dream, to be fair to your point).
- oneepic 4y agoCongrats on your weight loss, 40 lbs is nothing to write off in my book. I do have a picture of myself from about 300 lbs, and I did look much chubbier then. I guess I mean to say that my overall shape is still along the same pattern -- large gut, thighs, calves, arms, and face/head, etc. Maybe this is not a great analogy, but y=x^2 is a big difference from y=2x^2, and yet it's still a quadratic function -- they don't look too different on a graphing calculator.
- treis 4y agoThere's no way. Even dropping from 270 to 245 was a couple belt sizes and one shirt size for me. Going from 310 to 200 is at least 3 shirt sizes and maybe 10 inches for pants. It's like 50 liters by volume. Think 25 big soda bottles or 13 milk jugs worth of fat. It might be worth your while to talk to someone about body dismorphia.
- xorfish 4y agoBeing "off diet" (at roughly maintenance) for a week or two every few weeks seems to make a diet easier to stick to and keep your target weight once yo reach it. This goes into a bit more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HVdLMnr40M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HVdLMnr40M
