"Before" pictures

My fiance and I took "before" pictures of eachother this morning. I have a black bikini I wore in Mexico during a cruise in 2007 when I was only about 10lbs away from my goal weight, so I put that on for them. Putting those pictures up in my photos here was probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my life!

Has anyone who has lost a lot of weight found "before" pictures of themselves to be good motivation? I'm hoping mine will help remind me of what I'm trying to move away from on my way to a healthier body and lifestyle.

    My before picture is hanging on a wall right in front of my treadmill . . . It is a DAILY reminder of where I came from and that my workout is a way never to go back to that EVER :smile:

    I have never done that. I don't think it would help me personally. What does help me is when I take a pic of myself when I was healthy and post that around. Because I know I can look like that again... and if I post it to the fridge... I can see it when I go to eat eat eat..... It will stop me from having seconds and thirds.

    Hopefully that works for you.. Can't hurt huh?!

    Absolutely! A co-worker of mine found some pictures of me when I was 65 lbs heavier than I am now. They're on my profile if you want to check them out. I don't have any super current pictures of myself on there now but I've lost since the other pics on there.
