Why don't i notice my weight loss?


Question:
I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks, but I can't notice it by looking at myself. I weigh 10 1/2 stones. Why can I not see any difference yet?

Answers:
BEcause 8 lbs is not a large amount of weight. And since you have lost it over the span of 3 weeks you have only been losing 2-3 lbs a week. Often because you or people who are around you daily the loss is not noticed as much at first until you start losing larger amounts of weight or gaining muscle tone. But if you were to go and see a friend or relative you have not seen in over a month. They will probably compliment you on how you look.
Also keep in mind alot of the weight lost at first is water and food waste. If you started eating more healthy, your system is gonna start clearing out waste that has been stuck inside your intestines. And the access water retention in your fat cells. So once you burn off the first 10 lbs you will realy start seeing a differnce in your body tone... It depends on whether you are just dieting or if you are excersising too. Dieting will help with weight loss but will not cause your muscles or skin etc... To tone or firm up...
theirs a diffrence in your face structure.of course you are not going to notice, weight loss when you look in the mirror because it is just 8 pounds..dont get me wrong, that is a lot of weight.but usually people start to see a more defined face...like in the cheek and bone structures of ur face.
Judge by how your cloths fit. remember you see yourself everyday so it is very hard to notice a difference till you have lost about 20 lbs. this is about 1 size in clothing. Just keep it up, be patent and in time you will start to notice a difference
people who don't see you on a daily basis will be the first to notice.
Right now it's a drop in the ocean and really not all that much when you get down to it.

The rule of thumb is 15 pounds equals one notch on your belt. Currently you're only halfway there.
