As HARD as is was (and it was very very hard) I got my husband to start taking progress pictures of me from the very beginning and these included naked ones. So I'd do a set clothed and then a naked set as well. They are in a special locked up password quadruple protected folder but they are there...
I just got him to do another set (the last was end of December...)
wow.
and to compare it to the BEGINNING ONES just blows your freaking mind!
does anyone else do this??? Please tell me I am not a freak.
When I get to goal weight, I am going to have some shirtless pictures taken to show the loose skin. I want to document it so that I can compare any improvements that will be made 6 months to 1 year out.
Congrats on your progress so far. I'm just starting out on my journey, but you've given me a great idea. I didn't even think of taking "before" pictures with clothes on, but now I'm going to! Maybe that will be the scary incentive I need.
You are one brave woman!!! I could not even handle clothed before pictures. I wish that I had taken all the posed clothed pictures that you took but naked! Never!
Wow. I will be taking new starting pics today, but I had not considered any in my birthday suit. I'll have to think about this one. Afterall, when I become famous one day, they could end up in the tabloids, huh?

"Blushing" I have done the same kinda. I have before naked pictures. And I have to say I sit here sometimes and cry when I look at them. How could I let myself look like that?? But its great to know I will see them and never go back to being like that.
I think it's a great idea. I did take swimsuit pictures of myself once. I would propably not really want to look at them until I am closer to the goal than the start. It is very motivational to see evidence of your progress. But right now, I would not want to see pics like that. You've come an amazing ways. It's inspritational to see that you have lost so much weight, and was willing to really come to terms with the changes you were making. Bravo for being brave!
never fully naked, but always with a thong on.. *blush* well I don't think I could ever evaluate my small progress on clothed pics. Shame that I took the first one over a year in my journey. Well, I guess i couldn't even fit into that thong when I started. Come to think of it, I didn't OWN a thong back then xD lawl
You're braaaaaveeeee. I don't like seeing the excess skin just looking down I can't imagine looking at a full length photo. Not that I'm in denial... I just rather not have a better view of it.
I had naked pics taken at 224 and 210. I deleted them in the end because looking at them upset me, and I didn't see a lot of difference with the 14lb loss, which upset me more. I now regret deleting them because I'd like to remind myself what I've been moving on from, every so often.
Uh...no you're not crazy...and uh...no, I haven't done it myself. It would be interesting though because I see big differences clothed but none at all naked.
I do take pictures in my bathing suit though. I like to take pictures of me in my bathing suit trying to put on a pair of size 10 jeans. I've been doing that since I was a size 20 and it's amazing how much further into them I get each month.
Looking at naked pictures of yourself...
