so it is day one...
i am going to motivate myself by taking a picture of my body daily to see progress and i will keep these in a file on my computer to keep track of progress. The first picture i took today was very upsetting to me, how much i have gained this past year but its ok because it will only get better right?!?! Wish me luck!!

    I have not done it but I will do it bi-weekly when I do my measurements! Not enough change day to day to keep me motivated lol

    I haven't but its a good idea. I would like to start taking them once a week though. I will join you in it. I'm starting my challenge Monday...so that will be my first pic on Monday. The last ones I took were in Jan.

    Not daily.. I take a pic every 5ish lbs. I couldnt see a difference in myself even then until I wore the same shirt after losig 11lbs and i could tell.

    Best of luck! You'll be able to create a video a year from now and have that as a reminder to yourself of where you started.

    I like this idea,

    I read this as "going to take a picture of A body everyday" and I thought creepy yet I still clicked on it to see.

    I think this sounds great, will you be doing it wearing the same thing? I'm terrified of seeing a pic of myself right now but I'm sure they'll be great to look through later in time.

    That's a good idea, wearing the same thing each time so you can REALLY compare. I am going to do that!

    Yeah, I do this on the 18th of each month (day I started). I take a front and side shot of myself wearing just a pair of boxers. It's quite motivating when you look through them and see the size difference over the past few months. I may post them once I've reached somewhere close to my goal weight :)

    I'll also be doing this on a monthly basis along with body measurements. Weight I'll update weekly. I'm excited to see my progress and be encouraged by the changes. It's so hard when you see yourself
