Do you hold your stomach in...

I don't 'suck it in'...but I hold it tight. This is a position I try to maintain 24/7 though...so progress pictures are just another reminder.
Besides, your belly fat is still going to show no matter how tight you hold your abs. I could even argue that holding your stomach perfectly tight will make your progress pictures more repeatable a guage of fat loss. But either way, even if EVERY time you take a progress picture you suck your stomach in as far as you can, you'll still be able to use the pictures for their intended purpose, which is guaging your progress lol.

I don't let it all jiggle out, but I don't super-suck it in either. I just do my normal, every day sucking it in, what I look like all the time. Pretty much just contracting my muscles.0

Nope... I like to see my actual progress!0

I don't suck in, I merely contract my abs.
...speaking of, I need to do a progress pic!0 -
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.
This!
It sounds crazy, but I don't even know when I'm sucking in or not anymore. I don't know the difference. I don't super contract all day long, but my mom taught me to suck in from a very (very!) young age so it's a 20 year habit.
In my pics I try to let it go, but I think I'm going to just do my usual amount of sucking in during all my photos. I'll still see the difference.0 -
I do this
That's awesome.
On topic: No, I don't hold it in.0 -
I will be honest I do suck in, not all the time but sometimes. I want to look better off than I am, but I am gonna work on it. I am learning to love myself again it takes time.0

Nope, I try to stand up straight though.

Nope. I usually take the pics for myself anyway. But like others said, I have now started flexing since I am working on some better abs0

Sucking in is hiding what's there, flexing is showing what's there.0 -
Nope, I try to keep my stomach in a neutral position.0
