Ok here goes - never posted pics here before but hopefully this works. The firs picture is actually a year ago - believe it or not i have managed to stay away from the camera for a full year....wonder why - haha

The second picture was taken last week. The skinny minny is my mom. I was feeling pretty good about my success so far until i saw this picture. Not sure if it is the fact that i am next to a 124lb person or if i just have a ways more to go - so i was hoping to get some responses if anyone can tell a difference.

I am a little less than halfway to my goal but i have dropped 2 sizes and most days feel much better!

PS - all the cuties in the first pic are my mom and sisters.....can you say black sheep! hahaha

Ok - realized i had the same dress so i just revised to add that pic as well........

    You are too hard on yourself. You look as cute as your sisters and mom. I promise!! You can really tell in your after pic, that you have lost weight, though. You look great!! Keep it up!

    You look great. Don't measure yourself against others. I bet all of them haven't had kids!!! You are your person. You do look a lot like your mom. Keep plugging along :)

    Pictures are deceiving and usually don't show progress, determination and inspiration. Keep up the good work. YOU CAN DO IT!!

    You look great!!! I think what you are seeing is an optical illusion because you are standing at an angle. The camera likes to play tricks on us.

    Keep up the fantastic work!

    I hope so - cause i really dont see myself like this picture (could have been part of my problem from the start!)
    Thank you for your kind words :-)

    You have to consider that you took the 2nd picture more close up too! Typically the farther away the photo, the thinner you look. There is a difference! Keep up a good work! You look amazing!

    You look great. I agree with other comments about comparing yourself to others. This is your success and no one is doing it but you. I too have a small mom about a size 4 and I am a 12 but I have my own specials qualities just like you. Keep going until you feel comfortable with you. Congrats on the 30 I am barely losing a pound a week and working very hard. You are beautiful and you fit right in with your mom and sister. Stay positive!

    I think you are doing a great job & look at you 1/2 way to goal!! I think you look fantastic! Keep up the great work. And, never compare yourself to anyone else - only to yourself. Chin up, Sweetie!

    You look amazing! Don't get discouraged by those skinny mini's! I have days where I feel like I don't see a difference either...your mentality changes a lot slower than your body does. It will take time :)

    and, check out the gathers in your dress under your bust line. You don't have them in first pic...and you have many in the second. You are losing..it shows.
