Do you take your progress pics every week month year or when you lose/gain a certain amount of weight/muscle ?

I took some When I started last May , but times just flown by.. about time i did some more or should i wait until this May?

    Every month is a good measure. A year difference is even better. I just like having lots of pictures. Take some now for comparison! Now would be a perfect opportunity

    I've been taking them every month. It's neat to see the progression. Can't wait to see what a year brings! (I'm only on month 3 of my journey, and already down 19 lbs!)

    I do it weekly. Just recently I started having my legs/buns photographed too, wish I'd started that from the beginning too. I do it every week. You can't really see the changes but then if you check back, yeah you can see the changes.

    This... I do mine at my BF's since he has a full length mirror there- so it's easy to keep track monthly :)

    hard to see week to week- but monthly is good.

    I decided to take progress pictures with every 25lbs lost in the dress that made me want to lose weight in the first place. I didn't have this brain child so my first (and currently only) progress pic I am at -38lbs. I take "during" pictures every so often, they wind up being once or twice a month. I edit the pics with my weight and date since MFP does not allow for descriptions. Feel free to check out my pictures for my formatting.

    I take pictures at least once a week. It keeps me motivated to see the difference even a few days make...

    Once a month.

    Normally I would take them every 4 weeks, but since i'm blogging, I'm doing it weekly, which is a little counter productive b/c the changes aren't dramatic enough to matter...

    I don't schedule the days when I'm going to take some photo's. I just take them when I feel like it, but they are usually taken quite close together. I'll probably end up spacing them out a bit more because I usually take some every 1 to 2 weeks.

    Once a month. This month (May) pic is my profile pic.

    At the start and end of each bulk/cut cycle. Usually every 4-6 weeks.

    Maybe every 6 months. Been awhile since I last did any!

    I changed weighing myself to once a month, and I am only taking pictures every 10 pounds, or if I think I've defined.

    Every ten pounds it's a little ocd but I like progress pics to be at even weights.

    I do them monthly at my gym.
    My trainer will weigh, measure and photo me once a month to keep me on track.
    My plan is to animate all the photos in a year and show "The incredible Shrinking Dave" at the end!!
