Do you know how much volume 19 pounds of fat is? That's a shit ton of fat! Go look at a 19 pounds turkey and then double or triple the volume because turkey muscle and bone is a lot denser than fat. That's how much you've lost! The most you can lose healthily is 2.5 lbs per month and you hit 2/3rds of that, which is pretty good! If you've been exercising and not just dieting then you also gained muscle, which weighs more than fat, so you actually lost a lot more than 19 pounds of fat. Keep up the good work! If you want to accelerate your fat loss, then start weightlifting. Weightlifting increases your caloric needs and the fat loss will increase exponentially if you maintain the same caloric intake. Great job!

I feel this so much! I lost 17kg this year, and I look the EXACT same. I'm sucks so much. it was so much effort to lose only for people to be like ?? You did?? You sure??
To be fair I do see some slight differences, my belt needed a new notch and a shirt I couldn't wear before I now can. And I can walk much further then before. My sleep is also slightly better (apnea most likely).
Even if you don't feel or look different now, in 10 years, your joints will thank you for not having to lug around those extra 20 pounds.
Don't subscribe to the idea that your weight loss progress must be on a schedule, that's total bullshit.
