edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
Yesterday, I posted a 3-month progress photo (a photo of myself from June 2010 beside a photo of myself from a couple of weeks ago, in September 2010). You can see it in my blog, here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MaryTheIceCube/view/progress-june-september-2010-41448

After seeing my photos, my friend Sara (MFP username: akaDumbo) suggested that it might be a great motivator for us to take a current photo of ourselves (our September 2010 photo), and then right around Christmas Eve, take an updated photo (our December 2010 photo), then place them side-by-side and post them for our friends here on MFP to see. Sort of a Christmas (or December holiday) gift to ourselves and each other.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in doing this along with us; ALL are invited to participate. Just a quick "I'm in!" would be great; we'll keep in touch and I'll send out some sort of reminder when it gets close to time to post our progress photos.

Best wishes!

    I'm In, should we/could we do one of those table things and have like bi-weekly or monthly progress inches/pounds??? We all do weigh ins anyway-- I think that would help a lot with Motovation.... I would be willing to do/help with- making updating the charts.

    I think this is a great idea. We could either work together, or if you'd like to handle this aspect of the "challenge", that would be great too. I think biweekly progress might be very helpful. :)

    I've updated my goal to be 150 pounds by the beginning of next year. 150 has always been my goal and I definitely think I can accomplish it in that time period.
