How do I make the pictures show up?

Okay, I hope this works. This is my first time adding pictures from photobucket.

Can you tell the difference? I think I look bigger now than I did in January, even though I have lost 28lbs.

This is quite depressing.

The middle one is from Jan 09 and the top and bottom are from today.
Top side view is today, bottom side view January. This is awful!!!

    Yes I agree. Your face is really different, but the pictures are unclear. You should take side photos too.

    I can definitely see a difference in your face! How about your measurements? Have you been keeping up with them? A 28lb loss is quite an accomplishment! You are doing something right! Keep up the great work!

    My husband said it's because we used different cameras!
    Gotta love him, he tries! LOL

    I don't think he took any side shots. Let me see.

    You're probably losing fat around your organs (visceral fat). You can't see that stuff unless you get examined for it. That stuff is deadly so it's good if that's what's happening. And you probably lost water weight too.

    I can see it in your face, and your arms look slimmer. See how they kind of bow out in the january picture, but they are more at your sides now? I have that too, before I lost wait I always looked like I was holding my arms out, but it was just the fat!

    You should try profile pics and also back pics.....I do that with mine and I've started taking pics after every 10 pounds lost. I wasn't sure there would be a big difference, but the difference just 10 pounds makes between my 30 lbs lost and 40 lbs lost was really amazing.

    You look GREAT!!! You can see a clear difference in the side shots - check out your bust, upper arm, upper abdominal area, and lower ab area, and of course your bottom! All look significantly smaller!

    Congrats!

    yes, i can see the difference! definitely your face is hugely noticeable (as everyone has said) but you really can see it around your shoulders, upper arms, upper waist and chest as well - the second side shot is just deceiving because it is closer up than the first shot - so it makes you look bigger than you actually are in comparison to the original side view. so anyway, keep up the good work, we all have to start somewhere!

    I can see the difference! Way to go in losing 28 lbs so far!!!!!! You really can tell in your face and neck, that's where I lost first too....I carry the most weight in my lower half and unfortunately it's the last place where I'm losing the weight from. On a positive note, people tend to notice weight loss from your face more than the rest of your body, so feel great about what you've accomplished, I'm sure others are noticing too!!!
