Lost 2 stone but it doesn't show! (lighthearted moan)

I didn't do it for congratulations GabriellaG54 I did it because I have herniated discs and I was advised losing weight would avoid an operation .My back is much better since I lost the weight .The chance of an op is much less

Wise words, Gabriella54. Unless there's medical problem, what's the big deal?

Why we're all fixated on being a size 8 or 10...heaven knows.
Lots of people on GN saying 'I used to be size 10 but the menopause.....
As long as the weight is proportionate to your body fat and height...and you're healthy, who cares whether you're 8 or 18.
It's not a contest. You do it for you and your health, not the congratulations.

Brilliant weight loss guilia, great achievement. (Conversely, I need to lose two stone. Is there any point if I won’t look any different? Reckon it would make me feel better though).

I lost two and a half stone last summer ,I know my clothes are 3 sizes smaller but I think I just look the same when I look in the mirror.Maybe you're like me, Someone told me it takes time for your head to catch up with your body and I'm hoping I might see a new svelt me in the mirror sometime soon.For now I'm always surprised when I try on a size 10 or even an 8 in some shops and it fits

I seem to lose weight in unexpected places. Tops of legs first to go. Very annoying as that's virtually invisible to others but I certainly feel it.

At almost 5-9 and 10st 9lbs that's not hesvy but, mind you, weight sits differently on everyone.

One woman in the news lost 8st by dieting and is now 12st 9lbs and a size 12.

I myself am 5-6.5 and weigh 11st 2lbs but wear size 16 tops and 14 bottoms. Medium in some tops.
I have been 10st 7lbs but looked like death warmed up.
Your shape changes as you know and it's difficult to lose weight from specific areas.
I used to run until recently which gave me an adrenaline boost but I didn't lose any weight as I drank a lot of water.
I wish you luck on your journey.

That is a tremendous weight loss. Don’t be despondent you have done very well ??

Giulia - I have lost four stone this past year and everyone asks me if I have been ill!

Oh and yes I have found dieting disappointing but managed to lose 2 stones some years ago and by watching my weight have kept it off. Trouble is I still have another 2 to lose.

Not just weight loss but your general health will be better

It depends if you have a lot of weight to lose, the more to lose the slower it is before it becomes obvious. Don’t worry, keep going, your hips knees heart lungs everything will be all the better fir it.
Well done. You know it makes sense.
