When did you take your progress pictures?

I don't plan on paying a lot of attention to what the number on the scale says but, more to how I look and how I feel. I am going to put together a photo journal along with my blogs to keep track of my progress that way.
I am just wondering how you do it/did it?

Do you take pictures every time that you weigh in or every 10 pounds etc?
I was thinking about taking a full body shot every 10 pounds... does that seem reasonable? It is wonderful to hear how all of you did it since you have all come such a long way!

:) Thanks!

    I didn't take real before pictures, and took my first progress photos at the halfway point, but just a couple shots from the front. I didn't take really good progress photos until I was already down about 20 pounds, but the difference between there and now is amazing, considering it's only about 5-6 pounds difference.

    I'm currently taking pictures every two weeks with the lifting routine I'm doing, but typically I like to take them every 4-6 weeks. Same angles, same clothes or type of clothes.

    I was horrible and never wanted my picture taken, so my "progress picture" in my avitar is at 100 pounds lost, v's a "before" picture I found from about a month before I started.

    DH had WLS almost a month ago and is taking pictures weekly.

    I took some at the start at 238, once I got under 200 at 199, and I'm going to take some this weekend (I should hit 170 by then). Then I'll take pics again at 150, and then finally at goal at 130!!!

    I was too ashamed to take good ones at the beginning, but I usually took new pictures whenever I could fit into a smaller size shirt... which left me with about 6-7 sets of photos along the way.
