cant tell because one has beard and the other doesnt

The under-chin area is obviously much better (which is a result of mewing), the back of your head looks marginally improved, and you do appear to have a tiny bit of upswing. Your posture is also slightly different. Overall, you actually look immensely better in the after photo, but it's still not useful at all as a scientific comparison because of the facial hair.

Love the username :).  Otherwise I think you do look better - your lower face has rotated upward and your chin is less recessed.  I don't think the beard makes much of a difference.  

In first pic your nose is further from the camera than in the second pic. Also how did you measure IMW?

I do think its hard to tell because of the beard, but your facial tone appears much improved in the second photo. It almost looks like weight loss but I don't think it is, because your color is also improved. I think you did a pretty great job replicating the pose, and the dark dresser behind your head neatly highlights the curve of the neck, which is much improved. It's a little hard to tell with the light background behind your nose, but it looks like the angle of your nose has changed. Do you think so?

Nope, if your maxilla moved your neck tuft (hyoid bone) should have moved slightly up your jaw line. It's in the same spot. So no. 

@ohwhatthehell Thank you, I'm pretty happy with just the tightening under chin. Posture has gotten better, and dowagers hump is almost non-existent compared to what it was previously. Chin tucks for the win!

@detailaddict funny you caught the username, glad you like it 😀  

@youssef-el-kaisi you're right, it's really hard to get that same angle every time I take a progress pic. I measured by simply using a small tape measure, measuring the 2nd to last molar, from tip to tip. Definitely not the best way, but my tongue barely fit on my palate prior to starting, now it seems to fit a lot better, but still need more expanding for a comfortable fit.

@elevee It is also really hard to tell for myself. It looks as if there is a change (besides under chin) I just can't tell what it is. Every time I see the 1st photo, I feel like my face is smushed or something, while 2nd looks more full. Or something like that. 

@mewmouse500 Would that also be true if the tongue is not resting on the palate? Or are you saying while resting the tongue, if the maxilla moved, the hyoid bone would be higher?

@sharkinator thanks for the feedback. I want to reduce it more, so I'm going to continue the neck exercises, and maybe start doing some workouts.

@oatmeal agreed. I'll swing back around next year. 

Thanks for all the feedback and comments, I still have a lot of work to do. What I really want to figure out how to fix is my asymmetry, as well as the slight crooked tooth on the bottom. Hoping mewing can fix this, or improve it even if it's a tiny bit.
