Does this look like a big difference?

There's 7 months difference between the two pictures. I've tried really hard with diet and exercise and done by best but I still feel a long way off from where I'd like to look. When I looked at these photos, I don't see a massive difference but I don't know if I'm being too hard on myself? I need an outside opinion for objectiveness. Apologies for the dirty mirror in the second one, I've cleaned it Grin

If your clothes and posture are more or less the same in the 2 pics, yes, you're much thinner. You've lost the belly!

@heldinadream same posture same type of clothes (gym leggings and gym top). Thank you 💜

Ps my upper back has a lot of excess material from the top making it that shape, that's not what it actually looks like.

You’ve lost a lot and I completely understand not being able to see it as I was in the same situation.

Ive lost nearly 5 stone. I can now see it in the photos I took throughout. I remember thinking how much thinner I was getting but not equating it when I looked down.

It takes a while to adjust. I thought I’d feel light as a feather. Instead, I have the same head on a much slimmer body.

Huge difference! Well done!!!

That's exactly it @FlappyFish , I don't feel like I'm not any 'lighter' and I thought I would feel that. A huge congratulations on your weight loss, that's an amazing achievement 💜

Thanks so much @Sunshineandrainbows23 I don't really see it but I'm so glad that I actually look different when I've tried so hard 💜

Just saying what I saw @purplespink :)

I think when it's us, we struggle to see the changes, as we see ourselves every day, and we kind of look at ourselves in the same way, but as @FlappyFish said, eventually we get to see it. Well done @FlappyFish too - 5 stone is a remarkable achievement! xx
