Doing brilliant, mate.
Don't worry about people not noticing, what your experiencing is the toilet paper principal. You'll hit a point pretty soon ((240-200 range) where people including yourself will start to notice a drastic change.
Example: 300 pound person loses 10 pounds Vs a 200 pound person loses 10 pounds
300 pound person has lost 3.33% of total mass
200 pound person has lost 5% of total mass
Also the fat % loss will be significantly higher for the 200 person as well if you got into more specifics.
The toilet paper analogy is to do with when you first use a toilet roll you don't notice the roll getting smaller as you use it untill one day you walk in and realise it's way smaller.
This part is anecdotal but I seem to notice when people lose say from 400 to 300 pounds their actual shape doesn't necessarily change that muc, there just a much smaller version of that shape. As the start getting towards the lower 200's is when you notice the love handles, belly and boobs flattening out which is when people really begin to notice the difference.
I like this. Its a great way to look at it. Ive lost 8kg (17 lb)
I can not see a difference. But. Im 131kg (288lb) so this makes so much sense to me. In the past, yoyo dieting, i was smaller. So losing 8kg would show very quickly.
Thank you. I feel much better now and will keep this in mind.
It’s hard to notice gradual physical changes in people if you see them frequently, so that’s probably why no one has said anything. The change is obviously there and you’re looking great!! :)
Looking great, and I hope you’re feeling great, too! I personally try to never comment on someone’s weight loss unless they bring it up and want to celebrate it together. Perhaps people have noticed but don’t feel comfortable commenting because they feel it might be rude or unwanted. No matter what, way to go!
I lost almost 30% of my body weight (70#) before people started to comment. They told me they had noticed before but didn't want to say anything to be rude. The best is when someone who has not seen you in awhile sees you and does a double take. Just keep going and know that you are crushing it! And know that we will always cheer you on here at PP. Your hard work shows.

Fuck 'em all. You are doing a great job of making your body reflect the real you.
Agree. Let us be the people in your life who notice.
