    Not at all, I look at them when I feel discouraged or need an extra boost. Helps me to remember that MFP does work and the success that can happen when I eat healthy and within my calorie range as well as exercise. I believe that is one major reason why those stories are here anyways :smile:.

    I always read the success stories before I work out. It keeps me motivated and gets me moving!

    It's totally not creepy, I think it's really inspirational! And that's why they're there, right? To be admired and to serve as motivation to workout and avoid sweets!

    In a similar vein, I totally watch Heavy to get motivation. The weight loss show on Netflix. I love it, I cry at the end of every episode! And then I go work out. :)

    Absolutely not! We share such pictures to serve as motivation to ourselves and others...

    Not at all. That's really the only part of the forums I look at because I don't need recipe ideas or workout tips. I like to see how long it took someone to lose x amount of weight so I can judge my own progress.

    Not at all!! I seriously go on the Success Stories forum everyday to look at before and after photos as well. It is so inspiring and encouraging! Can't wait to be able to post my own before and after photos! :)

    Another creeper checking in! I cry when I see the pictures. I don't know why. I guess I'm overwhelmed with the happiness I see in the faces. I see the effort, the struggle, the things left behind, and the future that's ahead. My husband always knows when I'm looking 'cause I'm crying. Then he wants to look, and he has all the answers he needs, to understand why MFP is so important to me.
    And it should be called My Fitness Family; we are all teaching each other how to eat and take care of ourselves and motivate each other, which was probably lacking in most of our relationships with our birth relatives! Everyone here is a blessing.

    If you are, so am I. It is very motivating and I hope I can post my own success story someday!

    As long as you're not TAKING the before and after pictures, without their knowledge, through their windows, you're not creepy. If people don't want others to see the pictures, they wouldn't post them publicly. :-)

    The before and afters are some my favorites lol. I love seeing what people are able to accomplish, and even more...what body types are capable of changing into what other body types =D. That's kind of why I posted my own (in my signature)...to share...and because there's not a lot of guy threads like that it seems.
