Why do I look the same as when I started?

I have done fasting for around 5 weeks now. Started at 240 lbs and now I weigh in at 218-220 refeed weight. My face fat and stomach fat looks basically the same :/ Why can't I see the difference?

Answer

You are different, you’ve made measurable progress. It is common to not be able to see the difference initially. You’ll get to a tipping point where you’ll see it, others will notice, you’ll need to go clothes shopping. It’s happening right now, just keep going.

Answer

I always tell my family and friends to take pictures of me without my knowledge while I’m losing weight. And when they hear me saying I don’t feel like I’m losing or that I can’t tell the difference to send me one of the pictures out of context. Then I know that my work is working. I’ve even not recognized a picture of myself.
