Progress picture?

  • How often do you guys take pictures to document your weightloss? I swear I can only tell when I see two side-by-side pictures of myself. My husband just took a new one of me last night and holy crap, you can sure see the difference in just one month! To the day, actually This has been my biggest motivation thus far!
  • Thats awesome! 40lbs~ is nothing to laugh at! That is some serious progress.

    I weigh every day, measure every week and take pictures every month. My official weigh in days are Mondays (that might get changed to Sundays now that I'm lifting). I try to keep it weekly and exactly a month although life gets in the way sometimes.

    I took before pictures when I was at 252, but my phone got reset and I lost them . I did take pictures starting my weight lifting. So at least I have that to go by.

    Congrats on your loss and whatever works best for you is great! Motivation is key and you'd found it. Keep at 'er!
  • I take them when I'm feeling pretty rad. So, it's really up to you. I think once a month really works so you can see yourself by the month.
  • I usually took them every 15 pounds lost? But once a month, is a great idea! Pictures are really the best mind settling tool. I still to this day struggle with self body image, but looking back on the pictures (which I still do time to time) helps a lot! I don't know where I would be if I didn't take them. So yes, take them once a month, every 10-20 pounds lost. It really helps in the end!
  • This is a sore subject for me. I had our teenager take before pictures for me. She deleted them because they were not flattering and she didn't think I would lose weight. I did not find out until I had lost almost 20% of my starting weight and wanted to compare. I hid from the camera all these years but I am going to try to find one at my heaviest. I think I will start taking them every 20 pounds now.
  • I haven't taken a pic yet. Guess I should do that! Congrats on your success! That is wonderful!
  • I take them once a month
  • I don't take them very often because when I do I really do not see that much of a difference. I took one at my highest, another when I lost about 90 pounds and again this past Dec at about 120 pounds lost. I plan to take another one when I have lost 150 pounds. I sure hope at that time I see a difference.
