:wink: before i started my diet i took my digital camera and had my husband take a picture of me in just a swimsuit, standing up straight, not sucking in anything, just there....so at the end of this month i'm going to have him take another set of pictures of me in the same swimsuit standing the same way, and then i can look and compare the two to see the entire shape and every inch of my body front and back and to see how it has improved...and the month after that i'll do the same, and so on....i think it will be extremely motivating to see my progress over all that time, and for later once i reach my goal weight i can look back on those pictures to see what i used to look like and how far i've come, and to motivate myself to NEVER look like that again....:bigsmile:

    I have decided to join you...unfortunately this is me!!!:sad: :explode: :sad:

    I didn't have anyone to take the picture for me so I did a self timer...which makes it hard to figure out where to stand to get the whole body...

    I wish I had thought to do this......I have lost the 15 lbs I set out to lose, and I KNOW I look better, but wish I had the "before and after" proof!
