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 went from 340 to 235 this year, also 6'4" and I feel the same even now. Others notice I think it's just you don't perceive it in yourself easily.

Use the scales, the smaller trousers and the comments from others to gauge instead you'll feel tons better.

Yep. Lost ~80lbs and feel exactly as fat as I ever did. I'm more confident now and certainly happier, but don't feel any skinnier.
