I'm nearly halfway towards my goal and although i can definitely feel the difference i don't really see it in the photos. Can anyone see a difference? I need some more motivation to keep me going! They're not the best photos (i don't like having my photo taken).
The first one is in April 2010 when i was about 208lbs. The second one is 2 weeks ago at about 177lbs. Hope this works!

I can definitely see a difference in your photos - look at your face
I'm the same though - almost halfway and I don't see much of a difference, but have dropped at least 1 dress size. I did notice this morning that when I put a tighter jumper on that the rolls of fat on my back are almost all gone though - just need to lose the belly!!!
Anyway - you are doing great. And the fact that feel better for it is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Hey - I can definately see a differnce in your face (even if the angle isnt best), and these is loose material around your midrife that there isnt in the top picture - all good I think
Take a proper picture now (even if you hide it from everyone and take it in a mirror) and then when you have lost your next 10 lbs take another for comparison - I bet you'll see as well as feel the difference !! :bigsmile:
I see your nearly at your first goal - so big congrats on that!!0 -
the ducks aren't staring at you, which is a good sign: you don't stand out.
in all seriousness absolutely. although your second picture does not show your face, I can see there is a difference. even your silhouette is smaller. all good signs. melt those last pesky few pounds away now.0 -
There is most definitely a difference! Much slimmer! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss0
-
I certainly can see a difference! Well done! Keep it up ;-)0

Look at the top part of your belly. In the top one, it is protruding, in the bottom one, your shirt is fluffed out because your belly isn't sticking out. I can definitely tell. Sometimes you just can't see it in yourself. I honestly think I'll always see the fat girl in me no matter how I look. Messed up body image. Good job!0

Wow! Well done! There is a big difference and you look loads younger in your second photo! Fab job0
-
You can really see the difference and if you were standing up I bet it woud be even better ,well done0
-
Thanks everyone! :happy: I will take some better pictures soon and then can make a better comparison next time! I'm terrible at having my photo taken! :blushing:0

Agree with the rest, notice the difference in your face. done well ;-)0

it's kinda tough to tell since the 2nd photo isn't a good one for judging your progress, could you put one up that has you standing tall and looking at the camera? Things that hide progress:
-Bending over
-not looking at the camera
-wearing loose clothes
-too much distance0 -
:bigsmile: aw keep going honey, when I lost 6 stone, no-one really noticed until I had lost almost 4 of that .. but when they do it's like a barrage, everybody will notice - stick with it, the day will come and and it's not that far away0

I really don't have any - that was the best one i think. Since we had our son we mostly just take photos of him! The only other recent ones i have of me i am holding him (which would hide even more of me!). I will have to ask my husband to take some new photos of me.0 -
your face is WAYYY slimmer great job!0
-
big difference! u look 10 years younger! i love b4/after pics like that
GO GIRL!0 -

Yes, absolutely. don't be afraid to make this about you a little. Be proud of your accomplishment!0 -
In the first pic you are standing up and there is a visible "roll" around your middle. In the second picture - you're bendin over... and there's not! YES - there is a difference and you look great!0

There is a big difference!! Well done and keep it up!! :drinker:0

I can see a big difference! great job!0

I see a difference in your face and in your tummy.
You're standing behind a stroller so I can't see further down and you are bending over in the second photo so I can't see much either.
What you might want to do -- put on the same outfit you are wearing in the first photo without the sweatshirt and stand up tall and send us that photo of you wearing the same clothes.0 -
Huge difference ~ you look younger, prettier, and thinner!!! Do not give up. Imagine how you will look at goal weight? Wishing you the best!!0

I can see it especially in your face. Great job!!! keep it up.0
