Wish I'd taken progress photos...

Seeing how good people look to be able to compare to start
Damn, I wish I'd taken a photo at the start
I've noticed the beer belly get far smaller, it would of been a huge morale boost to see the difference

Anyone else feeling these regrets?

I took my "starting" photo a couple of months after I actually started - just before I began the p90x program. I wish I had taken it sooner, but I'm definitely glad that I took the photos. It's a huge help, when I'm feeling like I haven't gotten anywhere or still feel like I'm so far from goal.

There's still time- take some pictures now!

Yes! I also regret not taking measurements. My "before" picture was taken about a year before I started. And it's not a very good pose.

GalaxyDuck · March 2012

Yep, I totally have those regrets. The best I can do for "before" pics are find pictures of myself to snag off Facebook. Strange considering when I joined here last February, seeing other people's success stories was a HUGE motivator for me!

I did end up taking some pictures about half way through the journey, but it's just not the same!

I'm right there with you, I just dug through our family pics at Christmas to see if I could find a good before pic of me, the only thing I was able to discover is that I was very good at avoiding the camera.

markkahl · March 2012

I did. I have it on the mirror, plus a photo of me when I was 20. that is my goal.....to look like that agin

Im just about to start a New Rules of Lifting for Women, and definitly going to take before and after shots now.

Just find some old photos. Won't be quite the same, but I look at old photos of me, and it feels great!! :drinker:

Take measurements too!!!!!!!

I regret not taking more progress photos and measurements during my first round of P90X when I started back in May. I'm down 47 pounds and can't picture myself almost 50 lbs heavier.

stacymama5 · March 2012

Yep, only before pics I have (which aren't many), I have something in front of me.

courtneymal17 · March 2012

yes, totally. When I was at my HW I pretty much shied away from pics, and of course didnt take 'before' pics either...im down 26 pounds and sometimes I feel like Im making so much progress but others I totally doubt it....I REALLY wish I would have taken them

rednblack84 · March 2012

I took one at 30 days and then one at 60 days. Between that time I only lost 4 pounds, but HOLY MOLY! Those 4 pounds mattered. It's never too late to start.

cirellim · March 2012

I always say this I mean I still have pics of me when I was 250+ but it would have been nice to have real shiritless progress pics to compare with. Oh well, it all just started so quick!

AdamB311 · March 2012

I've got one that looks quite bad, but its only a face shot, something at least
And i do have measurements taken

but I just feel that visual indicator would be very helpful

Going to take some tomorrow morning when I'm feeling a lot less bloated
Training to do a marathon by the end of the year, and really getting into strength training too
Hopefully there will be a good difference

Wish I'd taken progress photos...
