    Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose? I mean, I do that when it's a picture in regular everyday life (vacation, family photos, etc), but the whole point of my progress pictures is to look at the real me. If I hold my stomach in, i'm not really seeing the real me.

    Yeah, I don't see the point in holding your stomach in for progress pictures. That's not giving the photo a true "picture" of the progress. I hold my stomach in for everyday photos, though.

    I don't suck it in, but I rarely let my abs relax. Engaging those muscles keeps me from slouching.

    Agreed.

    How else are we supposed to know how well we are doing if we, for lack of a better term, lie to ourselves?

    I hold mine in all the time. I have to really think about it to let it go. Wonder if that will ever go away.
