Hey all...

I have seen several people with these avatar type pictures of starting and goal weight...side by sides. Is this a website you go to? If so, anybody care to share where you get them/make them??

Thanks,
Crysta

    Mvm.com.

    The weight loss simulator isn't working, so I made 2 models- one with my current weight and one with my goal weight.

    When I had one at my current weight, I hit "print scrn (above insert on a regular keyboard; copies your whole screen) and pasted into Paint. I cut the picture down within paint to frame just around the body. I copied and pasted that into word, (although you could use any program, email, etc) just to save it until I had the other picture ready.

    I made the second image (goal weight), print screen, paste into Paint. Same thing- I cut around my photo within paint and copied it into the word document I had open.

    Then I opened a new image in Paint (blank screen) and copied and pasted one of the images into Paint. I copied and pasted the second image in (second imagine may appear on top of first- use arrow keys or mouse to move it over).

    Images should be side by side. Save the picture with a name. Upload to MFP!

    Hope that helps!

    nope, but if you go to weight mirror you can upload a current pic of yourself and adjust for current height/weight, and your goal weight and holy smokes! look and see your future hotness!!! Doesn't matter if the pic is front, side, or back (I did all three)- very revieling!!!

    just been on weight mirror - wow that is so cool. I have recently taken a before pic to start my weight loss again and i was amazed to see myself so much slimmer. It made me laugh - haven't ever seen myself like that as an adult.

    Nina74, thanks so much for your how to! It was spot on and helped me make my avatar.

    The only thing that I encountered that wasn't in your message was resizing the image so that it wasn't cut on in my avatar. I tried the resize tool in paint, but it only made the imagine smaller but my head was still cut off when I uploaded the pic. Ultimately I ended up adding more horizontal space by stretching out my image, and for some reason that allowed my avatar to be viewed without anything being out of frame.

    mvm.com is not working! :sad:

    Does anybody know any other sites where you can make weight loss avatars?
