Why Before and Afters May Be a Lie

Some folks here have done some great ones. Let's see - I think my favorite is MireyGal's. :laugh:

hahah! THANK YOU!!!

You mean this one?


LOL!

That's why, when I take my progress pics, I make a point of flexing and trying to look as good as possible. That way, when I go from progress to progress, I am comparing apples to apples.

I also make a point of trying to maintain the same pose, lighting, and angles. Because it does ALL make a difference.

YES! that one.

I've done similar pictures, but to make a point to friends.

I pretty much send your picture to friends who blame genetics and tell then their opinions are invalid ♥

Wow! It may be a lie but if it motivates someone, who cares?

I notice some people have the same picture they had on here a year ago (I deactivated and came back). BUT I can't say anything because this picture was taken a year ago too but I like it cause I look devious :devil:

When I wear jeans that are a size too big, I get comments all day on 'how much weight I have lost' (haven't lost any weight in a month or 2)

When I wear clothes that are my size, which is 6 or 8, size small or x small shirts with a good bra, I am told I look nice but never a comment on my weight loss.

I have always found that odd!

OH and BTW I did a 10 minute weight loss picture when I was 40 pounds heavier for a weight lifter doing a paper for college. It was freaking amazing to see AND really spurred me to lose this 40 pounds!

:drinker:

:laugh: For some reason Momma came to mind in the first pic.

I do however notice that people taking a planned before picture are sad and down on themselves. You can almost always tell they really do not want to take the shot.

I LOVE the joy in their 1st after shot when they have the 'I can DO this' look in their eye
