hey there shredders!

throughout the shred process, i have taken progress pics of myself so that i can continue to stay motivated. the pics, along with their respective measurements, have been put into a powerpoint presentation that i can reference when i'm feeling a little glum about my workouts or just don't have the motivation to do them.

anywho... i was wondering if any of you would be interested in posting progress photos at days 10 and 20 (or whenever you make the switch between levels since we aren't all on the same schedule)? in a way, i see the progress photos as a way of helping to keep ourselves motivated - sometimes it's easier for someone else to see your progress than it is for you to see yourself since we (well me anyway) have a tendency to focus on the negative aspects of our bodies. plus, i think that seeing that 30DS works for real people (as opposed to people in a controlled environment, with chefs and designated workout times and all of the other advantages that the real world prohibits) would act as a real motivater to continue on with their own journey.

i'd love to hear (read) your input on the subject. :smile:

    I'm on Day 7 and I was planning on taking a picture halfway through, but I could probably do the 10 day between levels. I do have a before picture taken and I took down all my measurements on Day 1 as well. Not sure if there is much difference yet vision-wise, but I certainly feel better!

    I'm definitely in! Will probably post them on Sunday. Will hide my (ummmm) cleavage (as if I have it) because MFP deleted my other pictures that was taken from the front. (Maybe they saw something there that I don't see...

    Well I can't see a difference, not as much as my first round of 30ds, but I had a lot more to loose the first time around...

    But here they are:

    ok, so massive difference between my start pic and today's ... and the reason? today's pic was taken on a mostly empty tummy, post workout... the previous pic was taken after dinner

    Thank you all, glad you can see a difference, my measurement haven't really changed a lot, but I've lost 1.54 Lbs, and the scale was standing still for a long time now, very happy with that! :smile:

    And Nubian Spirit, you're pics look great, I'm sure that's not all because of the empty stomach!

    tummy flatness is coming along nicely, now if only the sides & hips would follow suit...
