Pictures prove it -- body weight isn't everything

I was training with my trainer today. Towards the end of the session, I realized that I was wearing the same clothes I had worn months ago when he had taken a progress picture of me. The clothes felt a lot looser now. So he pulled them up on his cell phone. OMG. That doesn't begin to describe it.
I remembered the before pictures were taken on March 16 (just before I went on vacation). So just a bit less than 7 months ago. But the really amazing thing is that my weight in the March pictures was 176.
Now compare that to pics taken today. But the most amazing thing is that today's weight is 153. Only 23 pounds less. To me, it looks visually like a lot more than 23 pounds difference.
I haven't lost any "weight" in almost 2 months. But I've noticed a lot of changes in my body definition, body fat being lost, muscle being added. So it isn't all about the scale, all about the weight. These pictures proved that to me, more than anything ever had before.
But I look at the side view of the March photo, and all I can think of is the line of President Skroob in Spaceballs: "WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME MY *kitten* WAS SO BIG"?
