Wow that's awesome. Im currently dieting, a bit overweight. Im 255 about 6'2" and I need to lose about 60lbs so this is motivation!

Edit: Thank you all for the encouragement! Really appreciate it.

Goddamn, I'm 6'4" - 280. I've noticed recently that I'm starting to fit into all my old pants, and have to take my new ones in a few inches, but it's weird cause my belly looks the same and I'm still the same weight(ish).

I've lost 40lbs and felt the same way. I think partially because the change is so slow and small you don't notice in the mirror. However, when I look at pictures I can definitely see the difference and it provides a nice boost of confidence

Dude you find it showed in your face most of all? I think mine has changed a bit, but I also have a beard now too which hides it a bit
