    Yep! You look slimmer! One thing I would suggest is try to take your comparison pics at the same distance and same angle (and same clothes if you can). You will be able to tell a lot more! But you look great! Keep it up! :)

    You look great! I have noticed that I only start looking like I've lost weight just after the 20 pound mark- so hang in there! You'll see it soon!

    When ever a see a sweater like that I assume it was hand made because a lot of my friends are really into fiber arts. That shade of green goes really nice with your hair color!

    You can totally tell in your face and you're not as pouchy either. I am betting the clothes you have are fitting better right?

    I think when it comes to losing weight the shorter you are (no matter how overweight you are) the bigger you look. So when you lose just a teeny bit of weight it looks like you've lost a ton.

    I have a side by side myself that was taken of me when I weighed my highest at 170 and a few weeks ago when I was at 137.5

    I am 4ft 6in so I know it shows a bigger difference than there was.

    i think you are right. i am 5'8" and i am very evenly proportioned so i don't think i am going to see things as being as fast even if they are.
