Please go to my gallery and see if you can tell i have lost weight

I know everyone is their own worst critic but i can tell some in my legs and face but really no where else.  The pic in June i was weighing in at 245 and in the October 12th pic (today) i just took this and i weighed 227 this a.m.  Can you tell at all??? I came here to CC in April of this year weighing 252 pounds! Before i came here i weighed 278 before my baby was born (had him in January of this year) and then when i had him i breastfed and started watching my diet and walking and i got down to the 252 when i came to CC and then since CC i have got down to 227!! :)  Just wanting opinions.  Thanks

Yes, you can definitely tell. Congrats on the weight loss! :)

Its a little harder for me to judge because of the shadow on the green t-shirt picture, but you look a bit thinner in the newest one.  I will say, however, that you look lovely compared to the picture of you at your highest weight.  You're looking fabulous, keep up the good work!

I can definitely tell a difference! there is more definition in your face and neck, and also your midsection...

Something else I noticed and perhaps others will point out as well, you are smiling in your latest photo which makes a huge difference! we can all tell you're happy which is a great plus!

Congrats and keep up the great work!

yep defo, look smaller, well done, don't give up, i had stopped using CC and have been really stressed with work, so weight loss was at a standstill, but i'm determined to get back on track.

Thanks everyone!! I am sure it's noticeable but people your with everyday sometimes aren't as honest i guess with you!! So i thought i would ask your opinions!! Thanks so much.  I guess all my hard work is paying off.  You know i didn't really notice how i was smiling in the one i took today vs. the other ones!! LOL  I guess i am happier!!

You can do it harmy!!! I lacked the motivation when i was on here back in 2006 (i was suprised when i thought i hadn't signed up here before) i was weighing in around 260 i think back then but i didnt post much either and i wasn't motivated at all!! I am mainly doing it for health reasons because their is history of heart disease and diabetes in my family.  So i needed to do something about my weight once and for all!! This time iwill suceed!!

Oh you can SO tell! Great work!

yep i can see it for sure. great job!

Your 'before' picture is so dark I really can't see your face at all... but I'm sure that there's an obvious difference between them.

Totally noticable! I think you look GREAT and so happy. Congrats to you on your progress so far! :)

I think it's really apparent - if you look at your early June picture, notice how your palms are kind of facing back?  I think as people have excess body fat, it can accumulate on your triceps and back, and cause your palms to face back, and the front of your hands to face forward - a person who is very slim will have plams facing toward their thighs - if you look at your most recent pix you will see that this is way more the case.

I hope this isn't more than you wanted to know - but that's one thing in noticed in addition to what others have pointed out.

You know i had never really noticed the palm thingy before.  I can see what you mean though Joe.  Thanks.  :)

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.  I know i still have a ways to go before i can really tell but if i keep on doing what i am doing i know i can do.  Some days are so hard.  But i have to keep my health in mind and i feel somuch better now.  This one lady on the tv the other day said that for every 10 pounds she lost she went out and bought a sack of potatoes (a 10 pound bag) and when she eats out of boredom she looks at those sacks!! I dont have the room to do that but it makes sense!! LOL


Clarice

Oh yes!  Great job!  Your legs are where I can really see the change!

Thanks tronjo!! I can tell some in my legs but not alot.
