27 lbs lost (pic)

I started my journey at the end of April 2013 at my highest weight of 183 (I'm 5'6"). I didn't take any pictures then, but I wish I had. The first picture I took is below at 170 lbs about 3 months in to counting calories. Now I am 156 and only a pound away from a healthy BMI and 13 lbs away from my goal of 143! I certainly feel the difference in my body and all my clothes seem to be falling off, yet I can't really see the difference in photos? It seems backwards from what most people on here say they experience. I'm not trying to fish for compliments but I would really appreciate it if you would let me know if/where you see the differences!

Thank you all- your success stories keep me going!

This is my first time posting a picture so bear with me... Photobucket didn't give me a re-sizing option!

    Its not giving me an option to create an album and the site doesn't match photobucket support or the MFP image upload thread screenshots. I think the problem is that it automatically went into a "Mobile Uploads" folder and I can't seem to move it.

    I say the only comparison you need to make is the expression on your before and after picture! The smile on your face says it all! BTW, I can see a big difference in your mid-section, as well as is your thighs; I see more definition. Keep focusing on the way you feel and the results you are looking for will come. Slow and steady is the way to win this race.

    Great job!

    I removed the "URL=" and the extra ] at the end of the link. But I guess your image isn't there anymore?

    Maybe now it works? For those of you who have commented thank you so much! You guys rock!

    And you're right, I'm a lot more confident now, no more hiding my face from the camera when showing my tummy to the internet!
