~Updated pic~ :: Kinda bummed :(

Alright here goes. I added a new picture of me in profile. There are 3 shots of me in profile. The oldest was taken 6 weeks ago, the second pic was taken 3 weeks ago, and the new pic was taken this morning.

I'm kinda bummed 'cause I can't see any difference between the second pic and the new pic. It's somewhat discouraging, but I'm not gonna let it bug me too much. It just seems weird that there doesn't appear to be a difference, even though I'm certain I've dropped a ton of weight in the last 3 weeks. Oh well.

Maybe you can offer some input/advice/or suggestions to improve my physique.

I'll add another pic 3 weeks from today.

Thanks you all for your time.

 

I'm noticing a difference in your face/neck area.  Are you just focusing on gut or have you looked at the whole picture?  So far I see nice progress.

i see a difference. it's subtle, but it's there. i understand your frustration though. it's hard, when you work your ass off and then the difference isn't incredibly obvious. you're getting there, though. i'm proud of you!!

Dang gut won't go away. :( Bah!

i see a huge difference! actually, at first i thought this was your "skinny pic", and then i noticed the date... great job!

Oh yeah, the gut is going waay down.  Look at in the profile pictures relative to your breasts.  In the earliest picture it was sticking out way past them.  In the other two you see it flattening out.  My husband's gut is doing the same thing.   That may be how men lose.  You should measure your waist  from time to time too (maybe once a month).  That is a very clear way to measure progress.

Mortal, i for one, see a HUGE difference! you are looking great. my advice to you is to stop focusing on the stuff you don't like about yourself, and focus on the stuff you DO like! keep doing what you're doing, it's obviously working!

There is a definite difference.  Especially in the face and neck.  You're doing great!

Thank you fine people for the support. I was just a bit frustrated, 'cause as the blonde lady above me said, it's kind of a subtle difference, at least to me it is. The more I look at it, the more I do see a difference though. I'm not gonna let it get too me too much though. Just gotta keep movin' forward.

this is slightly off-topic, but i love that you called me "the blonde lady". i'd change my screen name to that if i could. that's awesome! 

lol

ummmm my honest opinion

I don't think you look anywhere near 200 lbs actually.

Way lower

Awesome job!!!
~H~

I weigh 215 though. Once I hit 200, I'll be flippin' out!

differences, yes! face, neck, tumtum, arms...

personally, i wouldn't even look at pix every 3weeks, i don't think i'd see enuf difference to make me happy. measurements, body-fat calibrator, or weigh-in every 3-weeks sure. i think i would expect to see a big diff in pix every couple of couple of months instead of every couple of weeks. don't wanna set yourself up for disappointment after all the hard work you are doing!

but you are definitely shrinking :)

I see a DEFINITE difference- especially in the face, and if you ask me, thats a nice place for the weightloss to show up first... I'm totally jealous!!

 

I definitely see a difference overall, your arms look thinner and your face and neck, I think you look thinner overall. I know its not exactly measurable but it looks like you have lost some off your back too. (sorry I couldn't think of a good way to put it) Keep it up. :)

I can see a difference in all three of them! It may not seem a lot to you, but in only a profile shot, you can only see ONE view of your weight loss. Try taking one side shot and one frontal, you might be able to see a little bit more the change. You are doing great!

Oh, yeah, I can certainly see a difference. I do agree with another poster, however, that you're kinda asking a lot to take photos that often. Surely your clothes are fitting you differently? That's my favorite place to tell a difference.
