    No not weird or if it is then we're in a lot of good company lol. I am always surprised that out of all the threads on the forum, this isn't always the one way out front on number of views & posts - it's the section I spend most of my time in. When I first started on here I would look at b4 & after pics everyday to keep myself on the right track, I now look a couple of times a week just to remind myself what can be achieved and imagine what I might look like at GW. Anyway it's good to celebrate other peoples success with them :)

    Okayyyy, I looove to look at people's before and after pictures- even if we're not friends. I loove being in the Success Stories forum and looking at before and after pictures- seeing how long people have come to being happy. Is that weird?

    Of course it it! We are all werid and wonderful in our own unique way xx

    The messages are there to be read, I too love reading everything I can on this site!!

    Off to see if I have missed anything now! xx

    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.

    Brilliant!!! Love that post xxxxx

    I am the same way! I spend way too much time in the success forum but it is true fuel for motivation and inspiration. It shows that your goal is possible. Don't worry youre not creepy!!!

    I'm in. I sometimes feel like somewhat of a "lurker", but I love success stories; especially when they relate so closely to my plight. Additionally, I really enjoy the opportunity to share in the animation, excitement and happiness portrayed in the images of people not unlike me realizing true progress while striving to attain their goals.

    Positivity kicks some serious *kitten*. It's addictive.

    Every time I want to go nuts and eat Steak n Shake I come to this board and remind myself why I am doing this.

    Because one day, I WILL be posting a picture of me in my bikini....and I will NOT be embarrassed by the way my body looks :)

    If this makes you weird, than I am too! I love seeing the success of other people . . . gives me hope and encouragement for my eventual success.

    I am on here all the time. I show my husband before and after pictures, and he always looks at me like I'm trying to trick him. Then I realize that I am asking him to talk about women in their underwear and bathing suits. I say things like "look at her abs! They're awesome." "Holy cow, look how great her butt looks now!" "She's gorgeous! Look how fit she is now!" Meanwhile if he tried to do the same thing with a Victoria Secret catalogue, he'd be sleeping on a very icy couch for a couple of nights.

    Normally I would say if you have to ask if you're creepy, you usually are. But in this instance I don't think you, others like you or ME for that matter are creepy. It's all part of getting inspiration to help us move along. :)

    Not at all, I thought that was the reason they posted them... to inspire people that haven't reached their goal yet :smile:

    I look at them religiously and waited for the day that I could post my own. I think it is a huge motivator for others and also very inspiring. For me it keeps me moving to the next level.

    um, no, you're not being creepy. that's why we have the success stories! to motivate. and i love looking at before and afters too. if that's what makes us creepsters, then the internet is full of them/us.

    NO. It's not weird. I love looking at them too. I think it's because we get excited about other people losing weight and it helps us to know that hard work pays off!!!

    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!!

    your before/after pics are AMAZING.....keep it up....your quotes are inspiring as well....thanks for sharing
