I just had a thought - when you join a gym they often take an ID picture of you for their computer files; it'll come up on their screen when you swipe a card to confirm it's you, if that's how your gym works.

That means that every picture they have is probably of people at their worst, when just joining the gym! It's us only bigger, less confident and less healthy looking. Maybe we should ask for a replacement picture now and then :happy:

    Mine is from about 6 years ago - I was 21 and thin with short hair - Im using that as my motivation to get back looking like that (but older!)

    I got one of those simple tags that goes on your key chain, like the ones they give you at Supermarkets. The machine scans the card. So, luckily there isn't any horrible fat pics of me on file.
