I was hanging out with a guy friend last night and showing him pictures from a trip last week on my phone, and forgot about progress pics I have been taking for myself! In underwear and sports bra!!! Talk about mortifying!

Where does everyone who takes such pictures periodically keep them? On your computer? Phone? Want them to be private obviously but accessible!

Still :blushing: today every time I think about it! He was very nice about it at least...

    I was scrolling through my phone one day looking for a pic to show my mom. I saw all of my before pics in sports bra and shorts and I deleted all of them so I could show her the other pics. That was dumb on my part. :frown:

    I couldn't help but laugh at this! You said he was nice about it, so that's always a plus! Lol. I'm always nervous about taking those type of pictures because I know somebody would somehow see them & I would be super embarrassed.

    He was nice but it was awkward for both of us anyway! I've been friends with him since freshman year of college, so almost 15 years. But very platonic! Secret file on computer sounds like a good idea! Except my computer is going to die sometime soon so maybe back up in secret email file?

    Haha...at least he was nice about it. This is exactly why I've be afraid of taking before pics...who know where they might show up. Many years ago, I was trying to lose a few pounds and had my sw/cw/gw stats in my signature that I used when participating with an online weight loss group and accidentally sent them out with email not pertaining to my weight loss efforts. That was embarrassing!

    Put the pics on an SD card instead of in a folder on the computer. Mine used to be on the computer....then my computer had to go in the shop (under warranty).... yes, my friend who works there said they all saw the pics....

    I keep them on my computer, but my husband sees them lol. I don't care he has been with me at my biggest and he was with me at my smallest too so that don't bother me. I show them on FB as well, but like I've said before, I have no shame. I'm proud of my success. I love hearing "Wow that was you?" even though I honestly don't see a massive change I see a change but not that massive. Maybe it's my attitude?

    I honestly don't care who sees mine. I am a lot happier and healthier now, and I am proud of myself everytime I see my pics. Mine are even on FB. I'm proud of my progress and body!
