So, I took pictures in October '11, Feb. '12 and today. There's about a 24 pound difference between October and today... but I feel like I can't SEE a difference? I know clothes fit better/smaller sizes but looking at these I've been really discouraged. I know I'm being way self critical :/ Can anyone tell?

    I def. see a difference! Not only are you smaller, but you are more toned-- it doesn't look as flabby; it looks tighter.
    PS I think we have the same body type.

    There is a definite difference! Look at the changes in your back!! It's funny that we are always our own worst critic. The problem is that we see ourselves everyday so it's hard to distinguish the new from the normal. You should be so proud of yourself - you are doing it (and you look great)!!

    I guess it was my natural tendency to read left to write, and at first, I thought it looked like you gained weight (as in the left you are much smaller than in the right). BUT - then I realized that your after picture was on the left, and I can definitely see a difference!! :)

    Aww, you all are so kind! I was hoping that I wouldn't be the type to "not see" change, but I guess it just comes with the territory most of the time. I know numbers (mainly measurements, the scale is p*ssing me off lately since I've been building a lot of muscle in boot camp haha) don't lie, I just wish I could see it better.

    And I don't know why I put them from left to right instead of right to left, haha. Oops!

    very definite difference.

    I bet you would see an even bigger one if you took a photo wearing what you were wearing in the first pic.

    And yes I read them wrong too the first time and thought that the left hand pic was your before one.

    Keep up the good work.
