Well, I'd like to direct you to my pictures thread. You'll see ups and downs just like this... hell, I still have them, but it only motivates me more. Firmness won't happen until you get down the bodyfat, however, I assure you that you probably have a VERY decent set of muscles under all of it. 35 lbs did nothing for me in terms of seeing it... I didn't see anything impressive until 50 lbs... So I do understand and know where you are coming from, you aren't "crazy" even thought a hundred people have told you differently about the change. I'll never forget my first compliment... about 25 lbs or so in, one of my closest friends. She said it as we were leaving a parking lot from a movie, I thought she was nuts... it's just the little things, but I know where you are at mentally.
