Why you should take progress pics

Christabelle79

These are great pictures! LOVE them. I always get inspired (and a little teary eyed) looking at the success stories. I told my hubby he has to take pictures of me tonight. I think he's expecting something

What is NSV? Sorry, I'm new here.

If I was there, I would totally fist bump you. Way to go!


<< Christabelle, NSV stands for Non-Scale Victory

This is great. I wish I would have done just this. You look amazing. I think you are going have to switch clothes for your progress pictures soon. Look at how everything is just falling off of you.

Thanks so much for the encouragement and positive responses!

As far as new clothes for progress pics... I actually have to change into those pants in order to take pictures. I can't work out in them because they fall off during jumping jacks. :laugh:

I'm getting back on the wagon beginning January 1st and progress pictures WILL be taken! In 2012, I lost 25lbs - from a starting weight of 207, down to about 182. I never took a "before" picture and I wish I did so badly! I know I look better, but there are still days when you look in the mirror and all you see is the weight that is STILL there, not what has already disappeared. I lapsed in my workouts during the last three weeks of December and have never really dieted, but am going to dive in head first come the new year! I have already committed myself by registering for my first half marathon in May...something that I only dreamed of doing before I began running last March (and could barely make a mile mind you).

Your pictures are very inspiring and you look amazing! I have debated on doing this as well, but just haven't yet. I think after seeing your pictures it might be the best thing for me, to see my own progress.
Thank you for sharing!

Great work and you can definitely see the difference

I like this idea of the every month photo. It really does show the differences.

I took weekly progress pics 3 years ago and am using them this time to gauge if I'm "on track to looking like THAT in X weeks".

Had to send off passport photos for 4+ passes in November (heaviest weight), expiring in 1-5 years.

My regress photos:


I should look like my passport photo at the end of August, if I stay on track.

Great job! I come – 50 lbs in 10 months and it is takes some efforts, I just can imagine how mentally strong you are doing it in 3 months’ time. Advice to take photos is great; I did not do that at beginning, and miss this part a bit.
Such posts help me in a hard days, and I am really happy then somebody did better than me, it is prove to me , it’s possible.

Keep going!

Literally jumped up, went to my drawer & grabbed a SWIMSUIT to take progress pics...ugh and at 40% body fat it was not pretty...so only will show when the during/after pics are improvement! Thanks for the motivation!!! You go girl!

I'm continually blessed and overwhelmed by the support and encouragement here on MFP! Thanks for all of your positive responses. My Craving Monster has been rearing its ugly head and I have been a tad discouraged by the battle. It helps so so SO much to be able to come here and see your positivity!

Now, go take a progress pic!!
