First progress pics!

I just hit my latest baby goal (179ish) and posted a current pic in my profile. When I compared it to my start weight I couldn't see the difference. Ack! Tell me you can, please!!

wow! you can definitely see the difference! Congrats on the weight loss!

The first question to pop into my mind after seeing your pictures was, "How could you not see the difference?!" But, then I came to my senses and remembered that we are truly our own worse critics. In any event, yes ... quite a dramatic difference, actually. Bravo!! Keep up the great work!!

Are you SERIOUS? You truly have a beautiful face, and the weight loss has helped it shine through. Wonderful job; you gotta be proud.

At first I was proud, then after studying the pics side by side, I started to question how different I actually am. I started telling myself it was the angle, close-up, etc. And then I started noticing all the things that were the same (clothing type, torso shape, calf shape) and my mind just blurred. Now it's hard to see much difference at all. Maybe I will dig up that old bathing suit just to see.

jvermaes - you are exactly right about being our own worst critics. I think that's what's happening here.

Thanks all for the bravo's/congrats and complements. *blush*

Try getting a picture of yourself in a similar pose as one of the earlier pics. Then there really will be no more excuses for your brain. ^_^

the same thing happened to me today!  But it was only 10 pounds so I didn't expect to see a huge difference.

you however, look amazing :) congrats!

I can definitely see the difference, you look great! We have similar stats. It's always good to see someone close to your own range.  Congratulations on all of your progress, you look beautiful!

HUGE difference! You look fantastic! Great job :)

I know how hard it is to see the change in the mirror- I still see the heavier me in the mirror, even though I went from a size 14 to a size 4....

Are you crazy girlfriend??? First of all you are GORGEOUS! Secondly, you look soo different in your most recent photo that I wouldn't even know it was the same person. You have lost sooooooo much weight and carry it so well, you are a knockout!!!

Bottom line: There is a huge difference!! 

Congrats on the weightloss progress!! 

You look great!!!, i just signed up and now im trying to figure out this sight. trying to do recipes.

But you are doing great big change.

keep it up

Wow it is DEFINITELY a big difference! I had to do a double take to make sure it was the same person! You have a really pretty/slim face, and I think you look FAB, hopefully I will look that nice when I lose some more pounds!!! :D

Very impressive, Vikki. Great job!

You look great!  Good job!!!

I love the wings on your costume too!

wow not only have you lost weight but you look stunning in the last picture, i had to go back and check they were both you, amazing difference. Im only trying to loose 15lbs but id love it to show in my face like yours has.

Wow, thanks everybody. :D

Wow, you are exactly at the same place I am! I'm 5'8, 179 and just posted a new pic. Unfortunately I can't tell on myself that I look that different either, but I can tell on you! I've been stuck at 179 for 4 weeks and am going INSANE! Congrats on your success!

you look GREAT!!!!

Wow, you've got to be kidding - you can TOTALLY see the difference!  You look much thinner now, and honestly if someone asked what I THOUGHT you weighed, I'd have guessed about 135 if you hadn't told me the real number, so you carry it well, and you are probably already in a pretty healthy place!  Good luck on refining your look to where you want it, but you look great already!

There is a huge diff. The mental block is sometime harder to break than losing the actual weight! You are doing fantastic!
