Take your "before" pictures! 6 months of progress

edited November 9 in Success Stories
A few weeks ago I passed about the 6 month mark. I take pictures at least once a month, but don't do much with them.

I still feel like I look the same. I've heard many people say that it takes a while for your brain to catch up with the way you look.

I decided today to compare my "before" pictures to my "6 month" pictures, not expecting to see much difference. I was blown away!!

Moral of the story: Take pictures. Even if you can't bear to look at them now, take them. Some day you will be happy you did.

    Great job! you look awesome and your stomach looks amazing! I definitely regret not taking before pictures. I have to scour my old pictures on my computer just to find something to compare myself to!

    OMG! "You're hips don't lie", or your tummy and back, for that matter.
    Totally loving the moral of the story!
    I encourage everyone to take their monthly pictures, it's super motivating and it really helps visualize progress that might go unnoticed in the mirror!
    Congratulations on the good work and results!!!

    Great job! My trainer told me to do that too. She said you won't believe what you see...and I didn't. Great motivation that I will always have! Keep up the good work!

    Couldn't agree more. Lost 60 lbs 1 1/2 years ago here after my daughter was born and I remember crying while looking at my before photos as I "hid" them in a folder on my computer. They ended up being the single most motivating factor in my weight loss as I took them monthly during my weight loss. I think it took 3 months of photos before I had the courage to start side-by-side comparisons, but even at 3 months it was a huge difference.

    It's been a much slower go this time around after my son was born (albeit I do have around 40 lbs less to lose this time). I'm not ready to really look at the "befores" from this attempt yet, but you better believe I took some!

    Oh, and you look GREAT! The effort is paying off, big time :).
