It took me just over 10 lbs to feel a difference -- my fiance told me he could see I was lighter but I really didn't feel any smaller until one day I realized I had hipbones again. Have you had to change clothing sizes yet? Trying on a smaller size might make you realize just how much you've accompished - 10 lbs is awesome!
I didn't realize until I started losing the weight how big I was to start, so you may be onto something with that, too.
Have you been taking measurements? The number on the scale is not a reliable indicator of progress... for example, if you start working out you might actually GAIN a pound or two, but you could LOSE 2 inches in each thigh. A pound of muscle takes up a lot less space than a pound of fat, so you get more "condensed" so to speak.
Now that you've been following a better diet, try adding in some resistance training and some cardio (like a spin class or couch to 5k) and track your progress using body measurements. Do you notice your clothes fitting differently? That's another way to keep track of your goal.
Best of luck, congrats on the 10 pounds- that's no easy accomplishment!!
My waist is definitely at least .5 in smaller, and I lost 2 in. in my hips, but because of the booty a smaller size won't fit :(

I have lost 10.6 pounds (but who's counting?) so far following my diet, and my FI says that he sees a difference, but I don't see it at all. I feel a bit better, more confident and just lighter I guess, but that is probably because the few weeks before I started dieting I had a friend in town and there was a lot of drinking and eating out. My body normally stays around the 115-125 range, but in the past 2 or 3 years weight has slowly been creeping on as I put my health on the backburner. As much as it pains me here is my info:
5'5"- definite pear shape!- 160 was my starting weight- 149.4 is my current weight
Am I just not used to being this big and that is why I don't feel like I look different, or was I just bigger than I thought and 10 pounds won't make a big difference?
