on social media at a 5K run/walk I did the weekend prior. Yuck...even with 20 lbs gone and only 10 to go I still don't like what I see. Regardless I am no photogenic girl that is for sure...

Other people look so good in pics I look like crap!

    Nah, I bet you looked fine. Especially if you've made that much progress. Congrats, by the way. I'm sure it's probably similar to hearing your own voice on a recording.

    I think most people likely think that about their running photos? My face always looks puffier when I'm running and for a little while after, I've noticed.

    But hey, you've gotten 2/3rd of your way to your goal and that's amazing! You can evaluate when you get to your goal and decide if you want to recomp a bit.

    I very much dislike seeing myself in pics that other people have taken. When I take pics, I make sure they are from the waist up.
