I did something scary today
I took a pic of me in my bra and undies today LOL. I think it will give me a good idea of my actual size and not just what I see in the mirror. I also have a hard time seeing my progress well because I do see me every day. I am going to take a pic like this month a month so I can keep track of what is going on and so I can see the difference if there is any :) I hope this will help me with some motivation, that pic sure was scary LOL

You are one brave chicky!!! I think if I were to do that, I would just go whole hog and take nude pics - mainly because I think I look better naked than in my underwear. ;)
|
The boobs look better in a bra than just on their own LOL. I think I would have been more scared to do it naked then with some kind of clothes on, and what if I wanted to share my pics LOL.
|
That is a good (but frightening) idea!
I think what triggered me into getting back on a healthy road was seeing myself neked in front of a large hotel bathrrom mirror :o Not pretty! I don't have any large mirrors at home so it was scarey to see myself in this mirror... I still need to get some monthly photos taken of me in a bathing suit (or bra and undies) to keep track of changes. |
Mirrors just don't cut it for me, I see myself all the time and think yeah ok I am fat but I don't look that bad LOL. But a pic doesn't lie, doesn't sugar coat things LOL. I think this will really help me stay motivated because I really don't want to look like this forever. I spent my 20's fat, I am going to be 30 next year and I don't want to spend my 30's fat

Good for you on your success so far.
Hey, what ever visual you need is good. Just don't let it get into the wrong hands-lol! Here's to your continued success :) |
yeah wrong hands would be bad LOL, and thanks :)
|
Congrats on your courage! I've been thinking it's time to do that, since at this weight the changes are more subtle. Maybe buy a bikini swimsuit to do it in. I'm size 10 now, and I don't think my size 18-ish tank and sweats are going to show any changes anymore! I definitely agree - the problem with naked is no chest support :o.
|
i did that last week! oh my, pics don't lie! i did a front, side, and back view. not the most flattering thing to do! i definitely agree that looking in a mirror and looking at a picture are two completely different things! i plan to do it monthly to show progress.
|
I did this too so you're not alone!
I've been taking pictures of myself in bra/sport bra and shorts since about 230 lbs. I have a hard time seeing my progress at times, but if I compare these photos it's there. :D |
That's an awesome idea! I think i'm going to do that whe I get home from work today. Actually seeing progress is a good way to stay motivated!
|
That is great! You are very brave, but I think its a really good idea and I might try it! :)

Hey, are you going to share your pictures with us?;) |
I did the same thing. I keep them in my food journal which also doubles as a journal for my weight loss. Every month on the 23rd I take a side picture and a front picture in just my bra and undies and put them in my journal. Of course I don't let anyone look through it. Although I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to anyway after knowing what it is. LOL.
I think it will keep me motivated since like you said Nichole you see yourself everyday so you don't notice as much of a difference. So far even without pictures though, I can tell where I have lost some weight. I just want to, one day, be able to take an "after" photo of myself. |
Thats such a great idea! I wish I had the courage to do that!
