in Health and Weight Loss
This may sound silly but I am after a service or person that can make me see what I would look like thin. I want to pin it up in my room with a now and what I would look like photo. Like they do on the diet programs.

I really think it would help me dieting if I can see what I may look like as slim.

I hope someone out there can help and please no stupid posts.

Many thanks in advanced. Gavin.

    I'm not sure this is quite what you're after as although you can set the parameters to be the same as yourself it isn't actually a picture of yourself but its a start: http://www.modelmydiet.com/

    I am not sure it is possible to know what a person would look like at a lighter weight, since losing fat isn't an evenly distributed process across a body. It would be hard to predict.

    Any use? I just did a quick search on google, and there seem to be quite a few of them out there.

    There are programs to this since I've seen them at fitness expos. Lol, most people there didn't care though because they were already fit. Let me see if I can dig up the name of the company that did it.

    Actually, I think this is a GREAT idea...regardless of whether it is entirely accurate or not. The power of positive visualization is a strong one! Good luck! :)

    www.modelmydiet.com

    It has a simulator that is more of a drawing where you put in your current weight, height, basic "shape", etc., and then your goal and gives you an idea of how you'll look. It helped me and seemed pretty accurate. Give it a try. It sure made me think...I can do this and it's worth it!

    What you eat and how much activity, especially strength training, you do has a lot to do with how you will look.

    Could an alternative to find a picture of someone's figure you would like and print off a picture?

    This is interesting, I'd never even thought about something like this. I just did the modelmydiet.com simulator and not only does it seem fairly accurate for me for my current weight and goal weight I also did a comparison with my starting weight as my current weight and my current weight as my goal and that was a REAL eye opener. Wow! Thanks for the post. It just made me really excited again for the progress I've made. Lol. (:

    ^ This.

    I keep pics of me when I was thinner around sometimes, but if you've never been at your goal weight, I can see how hard it would be to picture yourself there.

    A very frequent tip I keep bumping into in all kinds of articles is to photoshop (our cut out and paste) your head (minus cheeks) on a picture of any body that you'd like to have and that is more or less your frame type. They say it works, I never tried but maybe I should ))))

    http://mybodygalleryformen.com will show you pics of men at different heights and sizes. Unfortunately it appears to be far less extensive than the one for women. I find it interesting to see other people at my goal weight.

    you can try www.faceinhole.com
    You pick a stock photo and add your face to it. They have pics of all sorts of different people of all shapes and sizes and different outfits and stuff. You can even play with the color of your picture so the skin tones match up, if you are good you can make is look real LOL
