How can you tell you're losing weight?

Little over 5 weeks and I haven't noticed any change in the mirror. But I have lost 32 pounds since surgery(42 if you include pre op diet), and have dropped 4 pant sizes. Also had two women hit on me this week. That was kind of neat.

All of the things you've mentioned are ways of telling you lost weight. It is very common to be the last to notice it in yourself. I also found that other people didn't mention it until I has lost about 50 pounds then all of a sudden everyone noticed. Just keep on keeping on and eventually it will become your new normal. I weigh myself weekly and can almost always tell if there is going to be a loss by the way "i feel". Your mind will catch up with your body and in the mean time just enjoy all of the nsvs you have mentioned and more.

I'm 4 months out I started at 224 and today I'm at 175.8. I look at myself in the mirror and weigh my self incessantly. I know I've lost weight yes.however I still think I look the same I still have the same pants as before because my midsection is the biggest part of my body. So clothes are the same and mentally it's the same when that will change I don't know. I work out 3-4 times a week. Just happy to have lost what I have.
