    I have what might be a really stupid question.

    HOW do you take a before picture? Do you have someone take it for you? Set up a tripod? Do you choose the same outfit to wear over and over (becuase I can spanks the crap outta an outfit and look pretty darned okay)? Do you take the photo in the same location? Fully body or just face? Do I have to pose and pretend I have muscle?

    Okay - turns out it wasn't a single stupid question but a series of them. Thanks in advance.

    I love this idea! But I am a little new to the community boards here on MFP ... so I also have the question of how do we post a picture here? Thanks for the help!

    I'll give it a go !! Unforunately, I did not retain any befores. I will post a photo of me taken two months ago. I have only myself and Jenny Craig to affirm my actual before weight of 325. I am now 218. Jenny started me and with them I lost 85 lbs. Since then, using three different programs, including myfitnesspal, I am my 218 today. I plan on going to 205. My doctor would like to see 195 which was my high school, college and military service weight, but that was a few years ago (and lots of tacos). This transition took three years and lots of battles with weight gain or retention.

    Can I join in too please. Have never let a camera near my body, so a HUGE step for me to post a before pic which will have to be a recent pic as have no old pics!

    I'm with you. I have NO idea what to wear and I have no idea who'll I'll let take the photo. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow though and .... well honestly pray that no one makes fun of me.
