    You really can see the difference, you look great! Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. You are an inspiration to us all.

    Big difference. Your tummy and also have a look at just under your arms....(I myself have a bugaboo for that spot)....so much smoother. This may sound a bit strange but....look at your ankles as well. They are smaller. These are small places that we don't see in the whole picture when we look at ourselves. We don't just lose it in the most obvious places but everywhere. I went down 1 1/2 shoe sizes from an 8.5 to a 7.
    Great going....keep it up! You're looking good!

    You look great! There is definitely a difference in your stomach and hip area. Your husband is right!

    I echo what everyone else is saying. You are definitely slimmer now. Congratulations!

    I find that telling myself, "I am better today than yesterday, and will be even better tomorrow than I am today!" helps me stay motivated.

    Remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

    There's definitely a difference! Check out your arms/shoulders/bust - there is a lot gone there. Your waist and hips are slimmer too. Are you tall? I'm 5'10 and it takes a good amount of weight loss for me to really see much change. I have lost about 10lbs in the past couple of months, and my clothes fit a lot better, but I won't drop a pants size for at least another 10lbs, probably a bit more.

    It's been said that we are our worse critics! You look great and should kiss yourself. Next time you're in a store, pick up a 10 lb bag of potatoes and carry it in your arms for a while. It will help put things in focus for you! Congrats!

    We are always the hardest on ourselves. We see things about ourselves somewhat on the bias side so, do not beat yourself up as we can all see a big difference in your before and after shots. Keep going and know you are looking great!

    You look great! Definately narrower all over but especially in the middle belly area. Hello hour glass figure!

    There is for sure a difference. This is why it is important to take measurements. I am sure your clothes are fitting different. I can see in the after pictures your shirt is not as tight and you look more comfortable.

    You look GREAT !! Keep up the great work!!

    Look at your great legs! and your tummy area has come in! you are doing great. Don't get discouraged. You see yourself every day so you don't notice the difference as easy. I am in the same boat. Now is the time people will see you and say how great you look. It will happen, i promise. You are doing wonderful.
    I would like to know, how do you feel? Not about looks, or size. How does your body feel to you? are you able to exercise longer? sleeping better? Ill bet you have noticed a change on the inside. Thats what really matters. :) Don't give up.

    I do take measurements, pretty obsessively actually. Waist from 39 to 35, hips from 47 to 42. And I see how clothes are fitting me differently. And honestly, I feel much better. My confidence has been out of the roof, at least outwardly, most of the time. I had really expected the photos to show what a difference I feel, but there's this secret ugly part of me that is sure that I haven't actually changed, and I guess that part of me is in control of my eyeballs. It's like once I put on those "oh, crap, I'm fat" glasses, I can't get them off.

    Thank you for your supportive replies. I'm feeling much better about it, and I will continue to try seeing myself in the right light. :flowerforyou:

    The difference is very visual - great job! If you don't "see" it, focus on how you feel! You go girl!

    If you can't see a difference, better head to the eye doctor! BIG difference!
