    This reminds me one day when I was in a shop and I past a floor standing mirror and to my surprise it made me look taller and skinnier! To be honest I could have spent the whole day there lol should have bought it too bad the price wasn't too attractive.

    PS well done for your weight lose but really no need for that silly thing!

    Not to "rain on your parade" but why do the pictures look altered? I mean the "before" picture looks like the aspect ratio was changed to make you look shorter, but the "after" picture makes you look 7 feet tall. Even the brown chair and the SUV in the background looks "stretched".

    If you're a member of the place that offers BodyPump, you should also try the spin classes... No coordination required, and it's awesome, no-impact cardio! (I used to be a member before I moved away... I miss it a lot!)

    I'm a professional animator. I work with pictures all the time. That is stretched.

    You look pretty good though.

    edited: fixed the image link to make it work.
    Good job fixing the pic ! I was thinking it look stretch but not that it was altered. I figured it was taken with two different cameras...but not taking anything away from your joy...you look awesome....19 days WOW.. I also do a lot of cardio have yet to take zumba.

    You look great! I can see a big difference for 19 days.

    And I'm sure it wasn't intentional on your part at all, but yes, the 2nd pic WAS distorted. I am a photographer and also work in film production so I know when something has been stretched from its original aspect ratio. Maybe when you were editing the graphic you made it got a little messed up? Not a big deal! And none of us are saying you did it on purpose to appear thinner! You should be VERY proud of your progress! You really do look great. :flowerforyou:

    I thought the same thing but I didnt want to say anything.


    same thing, you can clearly tell its a paint stretch pic but she was probably just tryin to make it a smaller size so it could fit in the forum,

    and you still look great, so keep it up! :)

    Sorry to have opened the flood gates on the image issue, but I was just being honest in the way the pictures looked. I was not in any way putting you down or saying that you were purposely putting "fake" images of your results. If that was the case, the only person you would be lying to is yourself. And it might be true that you personally did not alter the image and the image was somehow altered by posting it up here. God knows that posting images on this forum can be a pain.

    I see by the "fixed" image that everything looks right and you look good. The SUV in the background is the correct aspect as well as the brown chair, and you don't look 7 feet tall. Now the before and after pictures show more that you have really toned up in 19 days.

    I just spent more time looking at the first pictures. Now I get it. When you edited the 2 pictures to be the same height x width to be able to have them side by side and fit within the fixed black border, you didn't take into account that when you change the height/width of an image to match another that it will cause that image to have an incorrect aspect ratio. I believe that is what caused you to look 7 feet tall. I think if you find both images again, and look at them side by side by maintain its original size of the images you will see that I mean.

    Either way, like I said you still look good. Great job!

    Okay, you realize that no one is saying anything bad about HER. She totally looks great, you can see the difference. It's just the image that is wrong and warped. Again, she looks GREAT and AWESOME.

    I thought same thing that those pictures were altered somehow but the stuff in back ground. Thanks for fixing it.

    AND either way you are looking good in that bikini!!!

    Some people can really discourage someone. I'm truly happy with my progress. Have you ever thought about how that might make someone feel - probably not because if you did, you wouldn't have said it in the first place. :frown:

    Ignore it! You look good!!!

    The 2nd pic did look stretched, no fault of yours since you were probably trying to change the size so it would fit on here. Thanks going out to the gal that fixed the pics, and with that being said, you look FANTASTIC!!! Seriously? 19 days? That's amazing! Be proud girl...you look awesome in that bikini. Keep up the good work :happy:

    That is amazing! Ditto on how did you do it? I am totally struggling trying to lose and you look so good! Great job!

    I do A LOT of cardio! I don't run or anything because I can't stand it lol. I take classes at my gym and I'm also a Zumba instructor. I quit weighing myself and started measuring and that is motivation for me. Honestly, the scale hasn't budged hardly. I'm still hovering around 150 and it was getting me down. But I know my hard work is FINALLY paying off! Keep at it girl, it will happen!! Good luck in your journey!

    Your hard work is definitely paying off! When I lost my weight the last time, my pump instructor said I was looking good and of course I mentioned the scale not moving and she said it really doesn't matter because of the muscle changes the body. Sounds like by the classes either we go to the same gym :) or yours does the same classes we do. I think I definitely need to add more cardio. Thank you so much!

    Thanks I do like spin class. I used to do it more been nervous about going back my butt kills for 2 days, but it is worth it so should get back to it. Thanks for advice:happy:

    You are doing great. Some people are just not very tactful. I think you look great and you can definitely see your changes and that is awesome! Don't ever let anyone get you down, that is sometimes what gets us our weight gain in the first place. Keep on keeping on!

    Ya know what? It shouldn't matter what the other's say about the picture looking whatever way.....you can still tell the swimsuit fits differently, and you also stand more confident in the picture that was taken 19 days later. You look awesome! Keep up the great work, and you'll have the body you always dreamed of before you know it! :D

    Though she's now deactivated her account because of the rude/unnecessary comments, I also find it interesting that some need to question someone's progress.

    Really what would someone gain after sharing b/a photos of 19 days besides feeling good about themselves and wanting to share with everyone on here that's supportive. So critical sometimes of others, what's wrong with being kind, or is not cool to be kind...

    Even if I ever thought such a thing I would NOT post it on a board, it's not my business to be critical of someone's b/a shots.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!! So happy we now have off the board groups now, for reasons exactly like this one!

    You should post the pics without them stretched..like the normal original pics. You can still tell a difference and that's awesome! But the pics are a little distorted..

    I posted a fixed picture without it looking distorted. There is a difference and it's good!
    How kind of you to fix it for her and to stop the naysayers from being childish and apparently jealous? Yes huge difference in 19 days, working out 5 days a week hard like you have been definitely does it Hon! Glad the suit still fits, it look so cute on you.

    Keep up the great work and screw the ppl that decided to be rude on your wonderful thread. It takes guts to show before/after/during shots... no clue why ANYONE would decide to make a judgment after someone is brave and shares themselves in this way.
