I didn't say before and "after" because I still have at least 15 lbs to go, but I am on my way. I have lost 28 lbs so far.

My wife says there is a MAJOR difference. I just see a LITTLE difference.

Wanted to see what MFP viewers would say...
(hope the pics post)

    You look like a younger version of yourself!

    I see a bit of a difference, but not all people carry their weight in their face. You may carry your weight in a different area that your wife is accustomed to seeing and it may have shrank much more than your face did.

    It's good that others can see it. I will try to get a full body shot comparison up soon. Should have done that first I guess.

    You're doing Awesome!! It's amazing how much younger and vibrant you look now! When I lost weight, like you, I lost a lot in my face. I left my wallet at Wal-Mart and when I went to pick it up, the girl wouldn't give it to me, because I looked nothing like my DL photo!! I ended up having to verify items in my wallet :-)

    Thanks. Great story about the wallet! It's good to look younger at my age.

    As others have said, you've lost about 10 years! Now, focus on your nose and your jaw line, even if you have to crop your pics down to just those two features. Maybe you'll see what the rest of us are seeing. And haven't you cinched in your belt a little bit? If not, your "hang over" is certainly less than before. It will be gone completely if you keep up all your good efforts. Looking good!

    Yes, that's helpful. Have dropped a couple pant sizes and belt sizes. Hearing the age difference comments is surprising...and motivating! Thanks! I am motivated to re-focus through the holidays.
