My progress so far with pics

Hi all!
I finally decided to post some pictures as I thought it might help me to actually see some progress as I´m struggling to see it by myself (even if I know the scales say so). These are my stats at the moment:
5' 2
SW: 191 lbs (87 kgs), probably more, didn´t dare to weight myself until I had lost a bit already.
CW: 168 lbs (76.6 kgs)
GW: 132 lbs? (60 kgs), not sure about this, will reevaluate when I get closer to the goal.
First of all, I still have a lot to lose, I´m still in the "obese" BMI range so this is just a work in progress. I started with my new healthy lifestyle back in March, 15th (2014) I´m not really dieting as such but tracking all my calories every day to try to stay within my macros and now exercising a bit as well (although not as much as when I started with Insanity back in March!). Since then, I´ve lost 23lbs (10 kgs) and, while I can definitely fit clothes that I couldn't before and the clothes feel generally tight, I can't seem to notice much progress so I thought I would post this to see if it´s just me... I started taking pictures at the beginning, with only my bra and pants, but they are so horrid I don´t dare to share them so instead, I´ve tried to look for some older pics (from Dec 2013) in which I had a similar position (which has been a bit of a challenge as I realised I had my arms all the time around to try to cover myself) to compare with some pics I took last night with a new pencil skirt I bought (sorry for the dark pictures). I know they are probably not comparable as I´m wearing a much tighter outfit in the ones last night but hopefully you can get the idea.
These are the "before" pics:
And these are the ones from last night:
Thanks for your time!

Thank you all for your comments, you are all amazing. This is definitely what I needed to keep it up... It's just a bit hard sometimes to see that even after losing what I've lost and all the clothes being looser, I'm still in the "Obese" range (30.6 at the moment) and it just seems sooooo far from the "healthy" weight range. But...it's true that I'm closer than I was before and as a good MPF friend told me, a few more lbs down and I'll be "half-way" through...
Thank you all, I might update this post from time to time with more pics. And if I dare at some point, will show my face as well :P
Have a fantastic day!0 -
Wow, you look incredible, such fantastic results already - and you definitely no longer look "Obese"!
You are my exact height with my exact same starting weight, so this is very, very inspirational for me. I wish I looked like you at 168lbs already!!!0 -
You look great, keep up the good work0
