    Not at all! That's what this site is for and that's why people have such great progress. It's because they can see normal people succeed.

    I had admitted to being obsessed with the success stories and am constantly looking at pics - hadn't thought of it as being creepy..... Now maybe I am bordering on creepy obsession! :embarassed: :

    Nope not creepy, I don't know about you but it gives me motivation. I think "hey they did, I can too!" and you certainly aren't alone!

    Nope not at all... I use MFP to look at what people eat for every single meal... anywhere else that would be creepy. Looking at Before and after pics and seeing what people ate all day long is completely acceptable on here!!

    I love seeing what people eat too, I get some great ideas from their diaries. Also, looking at before and after pics keeps me motivated- if everyone else can do it- so can I! MFP is all about creepin', I think. You're not alone : )

    Nope, chica not weird at all. I do the same for inspiration, that is why you can see the post and other things on here. We are here to inspire each other. I do this all the time to keep me motivated. When I first started I liked looking at people whom have lost 30lbs and I was amazed & I told myself I cant wait to do that, now that I am there I look at post now that people have lost 80 to 100lbs. so no matter what this place always motivates & inspires me....so to answer your question, no it is not weird..(stalker) lol

    I guess it's not a secret anymore but I'm also obsessed with the success stories and before/after shots.
    They really do give me motivation.

    :laugh: Too funny. Why would it be creepy? Those people that post photos WANT you to look at them. They are proud of their accomplishments, and an inspiration to others. :happy:

    The Biggest Loser gets great ratings, so I think it is perfectly normal to want to see other's struggles and successes. Even if you don't know them.

    No, what's weird is that I sometimes see people's before pics when they weigh over 200 lbs. and I don't even think they look overweight. Makes me wonder how unreal a size 0, 2, etc. really is.

    Same here. It's such good motivation on those days when I feel like slacking. I only hope I can post my before & after pics to inspire someone else in the same way.

    Everytime I feel a bit unmotivated I check out the success page. Sometimes Ill look at it before I go to bed, just so I wake up ready to go in the morning
