    I try not to suck in, but I always try to stand up straight as I'm typically a sloucher, lol.

    I haven't done an after photo, but since I didn't suck in in the before, I won't sick in in the after one either. I want to see the REAL results, and I won't see an HONEST result if I suck in when the photo snaps. Of course, It'll be a while before I take those pics anyway. And by the time I do, who KNOWS what'll be going through my head? lol

    You should have flexed in your profile picture... looking a little flabby there :tongue:
    J/K of course :blushing:

    I have not taken after photos I did take almost their photos, but yes I do flex my abs and straighten the shoulders but this is because I walk around like this all the time it is how we are supposed to look a lot of us slouch and have bad posture and bad posture makes us look heavier then we are. It was hard to do this for the first 2 weeks but now it is just natural.

    Love this topic!!

    I must admit that for my "before" shots, I did... ahem.. accentuate certain problem areas so that in the after shots (in another 30 lbs) the difference will be obvious lol

    lol haven't got to the "after" pic place yet, but I totally sucked in on my before pics lol. I couldn't help it, it's instinct if there's a camera on me to try to suck it in. At my weight though, it doesn't really do much ;)

    I haven't even taken before pics...let alone after! If I did, I would totally suck it. It's hard to flex when you are so fluffy. LOL

    i sucked it in for my before photos. Not my afters. Wish I kept some befores without sucking it in so I could see the full change!

    TAKE THE BEFORE PICS!!! You'll wish you had later on...Also, take your measurements now, so you'll know your inches lost!

    I AGREE! I sort of "fell into" my initial weight loss as a result of a stressful situation and then just decided to work with it to benefit my life and the lives of my kids. I didn't even think to do before photos ... or measurements. I SOOOOOOOOO wish I had now!

    Don't have the after photos yet.

    What makes me :laugh: is seeing someone basically trying to suck their gut into their spine. That is not fooling anyone. You may have lost...but when you breathe again you are going to "gain" back some inches after your photo. :tongue:

    (I am talking extreme sucking in, not just the typical, suck in a little so my belly isn't poofy shot)

    i dont suck in...its all about what you look like then. I do have some poses where I flex my muscles to compare definition though.
