My progress!! Can anyone tell?

Can you tell I've lost any weight?

I've lost about some actual flab (not counting the initial
water-weight loss) - two dress sizes. I'm counting sizes, not scale
numbers. Don't know if it shows in the pics.

December/January, before starting Low Carb.

Another from same period - accounting for the fact that the floppy
sweater in the first could make me look heavier than I am.

Now the "afters":
May 1 - Low Carb since March: in my wedding gown!

I first tried on the gown on April 2 or so. It was a bit tight on top.
Now it actually is a little loose in back and will need to be taken in
a little. The wedding is July 31 [in case anyone noticed I refer to my
'hubby' - actually we're already legally married, this is our big
family wedding]. Maybe the dress will need to be taken in more, by
then. I am waiting until June to have it altered.

I've actually lost some weight in my boobs

I am not losing super-fast, but I only have about 30 lbs to lose so it
will take me longer. My understanding is that my body isn't as anxious
to get those 30 lbs off as it would be if they were the first 30 of
100 extra pounds.

I can tell. Especially in your face. Great job!

I think I should crop this picture to reflect my actual height - the
pic makes me look much taller than I am, because I am standing on a
platform. The dress actually needs to be shortened by a few inches. I
am 5'3.

You look very pretty. Yes, I noticed a difference, and you even look more
happy!
Good luck with the wedding, you will be a glorious bride.
