Progress? WARNING: Stretch marks/flab/underwear

I have been using MFP for almost a month now. I have been trying to stick to a low carb/high protein diet with fresh fruits and vegetables. For exercise, I have been doing "Insanity" videos, running, and some kettlebell workouts.

I took pictures of my belly on Nov. 1st and took more today (Nov. 17th). Can you tell a difference or not? It is hard for me to see because I still don't like what I see. I know it probably won't completely go away since having 2 pregnancies (My first child was 8 lbs. and my second was 10 lbs. at birth) but I am trying to do everything I can.

BTW . . . how do people get their pictures to show inside of the post? I tried all of the different links on Photobucket??

    I can definitely see a difference in the side view. Keep up the good work. It will pay off!

    For the pics, use the same links you had. I just added [ img ] to the beginning and [ /img ] to the end. (without the spaces)

    If you click quote on the post where I did the pics you will see what the links look like. : )

    Thanks everyone for the responses. Also, thank you for the picture tip. I'm glad to see that I am making some progress, even if it is small. I have been working really hard at it. I hope to see even more of a change by the end of the month.

    Thank you for being supportive! :happy:
