    I do mine weekly, actually...but that's probably a little much. Regardless, I actually look forward to each Friday (which is when I it).

    I'm annoyed at myself as I didn't do the whole 'sports bra' pictures when I was at my heaviest because I was too ashamed of myself. I took some when I'd lost around 30lbs, and I hid them away and didn't look at them again, as I was still ashamed of myself. As much as I don't like taking them, I'm glad I at least have them for a comparison at the end. I don't take regular ones really... I'm content with just having one before and one after picture. But I might start taking more once I've lost a bit more weight, just to compare them to the initial photos to motivate myself to keep going :)

    I take them every 10 pounds. it's great motivation when you are feeling stuck to see how far you've come.

    I think everyone should do them!

    Every couple of months haven't taken one for 3 months and fill the need to take one soon.

    Yes! I take pics every week! I also have a pair of jeans and a shirt that I can't fit into anymore...or couldn't before I started loosing weight. It's my incentive outfit if you will. I love to see how it fits better and better every week. I can't wait to wear it out somewhere!

    Pictures are the only way I can see results in myself. I still see a different person when I look in the mirror. I do the first of every month and it really helps to see the changes and it keeps me motivated.

    I take them every 2 weeks. The first one is extremely awful but it is wonderful to see how far I have come!

    That's a great standard of measurement rather than the typical chronological ones.
    I wish I'd taken an official "before" to see the progress.

    I took a before pic when I started, but I havent taken one since, I might start doing it every month when I take all my measurements so I can she in picture form what my tape measure is saying.

    I did a starting pic, then a 6ish week on and about every two-three weeks thereafter.
    I don't always see the differences in the ones closer together, but they still give me motivation.

    Btw: I didn't to the sports bra in the mirror either. Mine are fully clothed. I didn't even think about doing it that way, (who wants to see THAT?!?!?!? :sick: )

    Yes, I did it for the first time yesterday. Maybe if I had done it at my weight loss attempts before, I would have stuck with the process! It was SO eye opening! I real embarrassment, but a reality check. I honestly had no idea that I look like that.

    Everytime I make some progress...so prolly every 5-7 pounds...I think photos are hugely important. I find it amazing now to look at where I once was. :)

    Right now I'm taking one every few months since progress is slow lately.... on purpose. My goal is to lose 1/2 a pound a week until I reach my ultimate goal weight..... which is 7.5 pounds away :)

    I took them weekly when I first started. Now, I just take them once every month or two. Definitely take measurements, too, if you haven't already done so!

    I do them monthy but two different ways. One is usually in something that fits but way too tight and the other way is in my workout clothes.
