So, without further ado, I present my before and after (or as I like to call them, 'in-progress') photos!
These are the generic poses they recommend in the intro video, so that's what I went with. Also, they look kinda crappy because of the lighting in the entryway where they were taken. Had we had the proper foresight, we would have taken them in sunlight or, at the very least, with more than a single overhead lamp.

Check out those shoulders! Holy crap! And I'm starting to build up my pecs, too!

Silly pose, but it's what was suggested in the video. (The first pic is a little misleading; the 'before' picture, I had completely relaxed my stomach, whereas in the 'after,' I was standing more naturally. Despite this, my chest is still larger and my abs are a lot more solid.)

And the back. I think these do an excellent job of showing how I'm slimming down and shows how my shoulders are coming along.
That about does it. A couple other things I wanted to mention. I read on another fellow's blog about how, during this phase, the exercises don't repeat because you're supposed to give each one your all. I didn't realize that when I did the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and, as a result, I feel like I cheated. However, I know for next time, so I will bust my ass, as I did with today's disc.
Today was Back and Bicep. I had no idea my right bicep was so retarded. I actually found myself yelling at my right arm when it wouldn't bend during a curl (I was lifting the weight straight out rather than bending my elbow and using the bicep). It also took me about 90 minutes to do a 60 minute workout because I had to keep adjusting the weights. Maybe someday I'll get a whole dumbbell set, but I'll manage with what I have.
Oh, and 'corncob pull-ups?' WTF?? I want to meet the person that invented those and pound them into the ground!
