'Before' pics???

Kath712

I didn't take them, but I wish I would have. You'll always want them once you have after pics. They'll show how far you have come.

This!!

before pics are there for a reason...trust me mine aren't beautiful either...but you'll regret it if you don't take them...especially if you can't tell how much you've lost, or what you look like now. nobody but you needs to see them...nobody but me has seen mine...I don't know if i can post them on here after I reach my goal weight lol...

110% yes! I saw a picture of me that someone else had posted on FB and tipping the scales near 270 it was the most disgusting thing that I ever saw.. and the best. It made me realize how unhealthy I really had become (even though I knew, seeing really is believing). So, in December when another picture was taken at a birthday party I was able to see the differences.

I found that these pictures are great motivational tools. 1) the first picture reminds me of how I do not want to be and 2) the second shows me how far I've come so far in my journey. I will be doing another picture Feb 1 for another comparison. And, when you feel like you can't do it anymore... look at your pictures.

Definately take some! I have to go stalking my friends facebook albums to find before pictures of myself. Back then, any picture taken of me was instantly detagged.

Dude, you have made awesome progress. I have a before picture and an after picture exactly one year apart on the same day.

Definately take them...I have some from my original starting weight a year or so ago and I can definately see the difference...and it's a heck of a motivator!

One of my biggest motivators to start this new lifestyle change was when we took Christmas pictures this year. I wanted to cry when I saw them, and I did cry later. The only reason I won't destroy those pictures as soon as I receive them is to keep them as "before" pictures -- I was at my heaviest, and three days later I joined this site and started the change.

They're good to have as motivation!
