I definitely see a difference. Your tattoo magically morphed into something else in the bottom-right photo. Impressive what a diet change can do!0

There's a definite difference. Looks like the weight training has made you unconsciously better your posture, which is good.0

I definitely see a difference--you're looking smaller (in a good way)!
Also, I love your idea of doing "accessory lifts" with a purse at the gym 0 -
sometimes it helps to have some one point out the details so after looking at both pictures here is what I noticed between last week and this week.
This week:
1. the upper part of your chest by your collar bones has more volume (muscle)
2. the bottom of your ribs just below your chest can now be seen
3. your neck appears thinner (this may be lighting then again it might be smaller)
Hopefully you see this too and stay encouraged, keep up the good fight.0 -

This helps BIG TIME - thanks ncahill ! - with the specifics I can also check if I'm crazy or not (I thought I noticed the collar bones too, but didn't want to get my hopes up too high ) 0 -
Glad to help! I know how it is, sometimes I look in the mirror and I really can't tell if I am imagining it or not so a third party perspective is a big help for me.0

^^agreed. I think we all suffer from not being able to see progress as clearly as others to some degree or another, I know I do.0 -
Weight June 4, 2013: 100.8 kg (222.23 lbs)
Weight June 11, 2013: 98.5 kg (217.15 lbs)
Been on 1400 calories for the second week in a row, lifting more and more, but still no bodybuilder - squats 85 kg, deadlift 100 kg, bench press 65 kg, just to give an idea. I lift 4 days a week, still on the earlier mentioned program.
I'm pretty sure I can see a difference?
p.s. should I be doing `some sort of supplements to help the process now that I've begun lifting? Aside from a multivitamin and a whole lot of protein shakes, I haven't thought about something like creatine yet?

Hi! You can definitely see a difference. Your weight loss is still very quick so we will probably be getting you to up your calories. We will be chatting tomorrow (probably later today your time) so will get back to you with intake recommendations then.0

Weight June 11, 2013: 98.5 kg (217.15 lbs)
Weight June 18, 2013: 96.8 kg (213.4 lbs)
Not sure if I see so much of a change this week???
Been on 1600 calories all week, lifting more and more, but still no bodybuilder - squats 90 kg, deadlift 110 kg, bench press 70 kg, just to give an idea. I lift 4 days a week, still on the earlier mentioned program.
Been also doing a whole bunch of mountain biking - I figure, the season's not going to last forever, so I'm getting about 30 km in 4-5 x per week, more or less. The calorie burns go WAY down the days I don't get my ride in.0
