    yes I can see a difference, in the first pic your eyes are closed, in the second pic they're not :P

    But no seriously you can see a difference weight wise so you're on the right track :)

    Some fat lost around the waistline. Not much everywhere else.

    aww thanks :) my wife and brother keep saying they can tell but because ive only lost like 8lbs i kinda dont believe it. my weight doesnt seem to drop much but i workout 5-6 times a week so a little confusing, was hoping on the inches/fay% more :)

    I can tell a difference. You should use measurements as a guide and not rely on the scale. Scales LIE!! You are doing a great job! Keep it up!

    A little bit! I bet a side view would help. Are you taking measurements?

    I don't see a difference, how much weight did you lose? Your ticker says 0lbs lost?

    Don't give up! You can do it!

    I see a blank before and a blank after....so I guess....no???? \m/

    ok now the pics come up, it's a slight difference, just gotta keep at it and you'll see bigger changes the more you get at it \m/

    No I don't see any difference. Wait nvm, you opened your eyes and smiled in the second picture! Good job!

    Love handles look a little smaller, maybe. Keep working, though. If you're feeling better overall, that cannot be measured in pics.

    I see a difference. Your torso is slimmer. Whatever you're doing is working, so keep it up. :smile:

    I can't quite see a difference yet, but you've already lost 8 lbs and are on the right track. I wanted to mention, make sure you take measurements as well. When the scale stops moving, measurements are a great way to gauge further success. Also, add in a side picture :-)

    Yep, I can see it it around your middle, mostly on your sides!

    Your stomach and sides look smaller and your shoulders look bigger. With respect to the shoulders, I can't tell if it's from the difference in lighting though.

    Before and after what...before happiness? lol. You look happy in the last pic! That's a good start. If we're talking about body wise to be brutally honest because I know many will coddle here...and since you're open to criticical I'm going to say in the nicest way, no. I don't see a difference.

    Lol well I guess happiness is a good thing.. lol. In regards to shoulders being bigger. I dont aim to get smaller in arms etc as I weightlift 5 days a week. So hopefully more muscular and less fat will start to show :)
