i have had several people who see my ticker as me how i did it, so i decided to make a thread telling how....

here is what i did....

First i used www.mvm.com to make the models at 10lb intervals from my high at 254.8 down to my goal weight of 145 and then saved each picture to my computer. Then I opened a word doc and placed the pics in order from big to small. I ended up taking out a few pics to make my 1/2 point right at my approximate 1/2 way point.
Then I saved it as a PDF and the exported to a jpg. Lastly I uploaded it to the MFP website.

Let me know if you need more help.

    I made a much smaller one with my start weight, goal weight,and what I was at when I made it, but I never thought of putting one like this on my ticker! What great idea!

    Congrats on your loss so far, 60 lbs, awesome!

    Thanks for posting this ,i've seen lots of other people asking about this too. I tried doing this once before but i had real trouble using mvm (dressing and saving my model). I will have another try when i have time. Would you mind if i send you a friend request so i can pick your brains about it later if i need to? :smile:
