Of course, one set was taken with a loose blouse and slacks and one with a leotard so that may have made some difference!

I'd recommend taking the same photos in the same outfit if possible! Save the leotard for the upcoming month. It's easier to appreciate the difference, which can be subtle with just some tightening in your hips/stomach etc. The more skin clad the better, unfortunately, lol
. You're doing such a good job!!! It's hard to lose so much weight but I'm glad we're starting now. Baby steps, baby steps!!!
Also if you have any pairs of pants/shirts you've outgrown... be sure to try them all on now and then again in six months. To me, there are a few milestones I look forward to on the scale (under 300 and 200, the first 100 lbs lost) but it's void of meaning. No one but the doctor will look at my weight. I don't have my mind fixed on an exact number (184 for me is a BMI of "normal" by the skin of my teeth), I mostly want to fit into amusement park rides, airplane seats, movie theatre seats, size 10 jeans, etc. And I want to look good and have nice clothes
And I want to not be terrified when I'm walking with someone and they want to take two flights of stairs instead of the elevator
So anyways thanks everyone for the compliments, it's made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kaebaka - Hey fellow Iowan - that's awesome you're from Ames!!! I used to live there, I got my bach from ISU in 2011.
It's the best city, so lovely and exciting, I wish I could move back. Must be interesting moving to the east coast though. I think that would be a culture shock for me. Haha.
