I was super excited to take my progress photos after eight weeks of boot camp, but I'm kinda disappointed now, actually looking at them. I honestly don't see any difference -- at first I thought my upper body looked a little more toned, but I think that might just be due to the fact that I'm wearing a more fitted top and a sports bra. I think my arms and thighs actually look bigger, especially in the side views.
The thing is, I know I'm down 12 lbs in these pictures. And I know I'm down 17 inches. And I even know I'm down more than a pant size. (The skinny jeans I was so excited to buy a few weeks are already hanging off me.) But I really don't see it in these pictures.
What do you guys think?
Ho hum. Oh well, at least I know my sports bra is making Betty and Veronica (aka, 'the girls') look a lot better.

To be completely honest, I see a big difference in those pictures, especially in your stomach and rear. Also, you *know* you lost 17 inches, so don't trick yourself into thinking that you look bigger. That is definitely great progress, keep it up!
i see a huge difference. how can i put this you look um tighter. my guess is you built muscle over the past eight weeks allowing you to stand taller and look more um yeah im going with tighter.
We're always our own worst critics. I can totally see a difference in your leg/thigh area and in your stomach.
You look great!
Andrea...I totally see a difference...I'm not just saying that! Your upper body is definitely smaller!! Honestly! Don't be hard on yourself...there is definite change.
I agree w/ the comments. I can TOTALLY see a difference. Keep it up and don't let your "personal blinders: keep you down (become a discouragement).
I can see it, especially in the side photos! It's hard to see change in OURSELVES though, since we see ourselves each day. I feel like it's not until it's a HUGE change that I actually notice it.
Keep up the great work! :)
I definitely see a difference, especially in the "side view" photo.
and that sports bra looks great!
I see a difference, especially the side view! You've made great progress!
I see it, too - your tummy and butt look much smaller!!!!
There is SO totally a difference.
I think with the one picture, your arm is squished more up against your body, making the bicep area poke out more...just sort of an illusion.
You rock!
It's a lot easier to allow our eyes to not see a change than to accept and see the change. I'm sure as time goes on and you look back you'll notice it. I notice it. I definitely see the difference in your waist/hips area! Keep it up!!!
I can see a huge change, the side view I feel really shows the difference. Your stomach, thighs and butt look smaller ... YOU ROCK!!!
I think you look more toned and... compact... and what's the word...oh, ya, GREAT!
You can totally see all of your hard work and lost pounds and inches.
Keep up the good work!!
I agree with Carlos and Fatinah that in the more recent picture, you are standing taller and looking toned-er.
Most important! You look like you FEEL better - healthier and more positive - in the second set of pics. Go you!
