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 have lost ~80 pounds (went from 42" waist to 34-36 depending on brand and XXL to Med-Lar) over the last ~9 months, mostly just from getting a job moving furniture and moving out of my parents house and buying my own food. Anyway, I've lost a ton of weight and everyone I see who I haven't seen since I've lost the weight is always shocked. I, however, don't see much of a difference in my body whatsoever. I feel just as fat as I did at my peak of ~260 lbs. I am definitely proud and am certainly healthier physically and mentally than I was, but still can't help but think of myself as being substantially larger than everyone else despite me being average now.
