I'd say 150. I've got some good ones from the way up around 170, but they were hit or miss. 150 was the last time I remember looking consistently half decent in photos! I'm looking forward to being in pics again... I look forward to the day when someone shows me a photo I'm in and instead of thinking... "ugh. What have you DONE to yourself?!", I think... "nice dress!". I don't want to even notice my weight.

I don't know but Im not there. Obviously. I don't have any pictures in-between 130 (upper goal and former weight) and now (166) because when I gained it happened really fast. Christmas means lots of pictures. Ugh. I try not to be a bummer when people want to take pictures though. I tell myself if they want to take my picture they must like me so what I look like is not the most important factor.

Well I've never felt comfortable in pictures. In fact yesterday I nearly fell out of my chair and onto the floor trying to make a mad dash to the other room when I spotted someone attempting to take a candid photo of me and someone else while we were talking. Heck you would have thought that a bomb went off in the room from the way I jump/dive-rolled into the hallway.

But using the powers of imagination. I should be happy around ... 165?

Any one else considered professional pics once you hit goal? I'm vain I guess, but I feel like I've never had a truly good picture taken
i actually like the idea of getting professional pictures done. It'd be great to reward yourself with something like that I think... Hopefully mine will be engagement photo's by the time I get to my goal weight! haha

I'm sure I'll be even happier in my photos at 135, but when I was 155 I never wanted the same photo taken over and over again to make me look halfway decent. At 155 I never really thought about sucking it in, positioning my chin just right, etc.

^^^^^^ This is totally me.

So not photogenic at all, no matter what my weight (just seem to catch the camera the wrong way every single time). And I have people in my family who thinks it's fun to mail out pictures after functions that they took there (posed or not...) so it's like getting depression delivered in the mail weeks after. I know they mean well but seeing my ugliness and knowing there are 2 copies and I only have one makes me sad.

Elvislover I have cousins that have proffesional cameras they snap away at every moment and I get tagged on Facebook. I never post full body pictures on Facebook, I am too embarrassed of my weight but my cousins just think they r being nice posting and tagging away. I think I would feel okay with pictures now as long as I know they r being taken so I can suck my gut in

Goal Weight: probably 135, not sure 145 for now

It depends on the picture, if it's just me and my upper half, I've been okay with it since about 175, but if it's with other (skinny) people or full body, then definitely not yet - probably in another 10lbs. If it's bathing suit, it might not be until goal weight or not even then! I HATE having my picture taken if I can't control it precisely!!

LOL Depression in the mail? That's gotta be horrible. Do you enjoy yourself at these family functions?

BTW... That same night that I had the picture snafoo, there was a SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION!!!! The pictures were taken of me months ago, when I was only down about 8 pounds from my highest weight. There I sat, fricken mortified!!! Cuz you know, every time someone wanted to stop paging through the pictures to talk that it was stuck on one with me and my fat arse. I swear to Gawd that one of the pictures had my buttcrack showing cuz the pants couldn't handle my fat when I sat down. I was so thoroughly embarrassed that I have no idea to this day what the presenter said. I was focused on those horrible pictures. Pictures that took up the entire projector screen!!!

Public embarrassment sucks!

Of course I do! But I don't want any evidence...

I lost out on so much in my life being heavy and embarrassed. I'm never living like that again, no matter how many years I have left.

I went to Italy on a school trip about 10 years ago and had just lost 40 lbs. I weighed 170 and all my pics from that time look pretty dang good!!!!

I only like headshots I take of myself. I was out with some friends a couple of weeks ago and when I saw the photos they'd taken, I still looked huge. I can definitely see the difference in my face but I'm not interested in seeing my body on camera anytime soon. Doesn't help that my weight loss has slowed down dramatically.

I think that at 160 most of my tummy would be gone and I would look ok in photos. My goal is to be there before we go to the beach at the end of June (I'd love to be at goal) so that I can have some beach pictures with my son without being ashamed.
