    Why you should take progress pics

    edited January 7 in Success Stories
    I have lost more than 52 pounds.

    I know I have made progress.

    I feel better.

    Most of my clothes are falling off of me.

    My friends comment every time they see me.

    A client at work literally thought I was a different person.

    But sometimes I still feel like I don't look all that different. Or I get overwhelmed by how far I still have to go and I forget to think about how far I have come.

    Until I start looking at my progress pictures:

    and...

    So take your progress pictures! You won't regret it!

      oh wow, you did amazing!!
      I took one picture, short after I started and even so I get compliments, I see no progress at all in those pictures compared to now. It´s really weird. But I have a smaller size in jeans and people tell me I look smaller so I guess I must have achieved something.

      I do the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I do 3 days, then rest on the 4th day. I did each of the levels for about 3 weeks and now I alternate between levels 1 and 3.
      I try to eat as cleanly as I can, focusing on protein-dense foods. And I stay around 1200 calories daily. And water! Lots and lots of water. :)

      Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

      I'm the same way! Most of the time I feel like I look great, but there are plenty of times when I feel like I still look 250 pounds. I take pictures all the time and then when I feel a bit discouraged, I look at those pictures and it makes me feel great :)

      Great job! Sounds like you are doing amazing & have a great plan. I myself just started Jillian Michael's Body Revolution system. I am really enjoying it so I thought I would share if you get bored of 30 day shred. Its a 90 day program with 5 Dvds per month. 4 strength training & 1 Cardio. It is a bit pricey but our health is worth it right?? :)

      Awesome job, friend!!!! I am 48 lbs down and I can't see it at all. Even though I have baggy clothes, I don't see the loss yet. I think Jan 1st I will start taking progress pics. Hopefully by then I will have lost 50 so I feel like its a clean slate. Thanks for the motivation, as usual!

      Congratulations on your weight loss!! That's awesome!!

      I know what you mean. I wish I had taken photo's like this when I first started my weight loss journey. I have 2 photo's of me when I was a couple weeks into it... and uh, they aren't for the public view lol. Too bad on my part! :(

      Great job! You are doing fantastic!

      I wish I had taken progress pictures. I have to resort to going back to find old pictures of myself.

      You are amazing! Way to keep going and thank you for sharing your progress, Jillian should probably pay you as a spokes person for the video!

      Keep up the hard work it is definately paying off!
