Is anyone going to take before and after photos, I was considering doing this. I'll try and takes some this week and maybe take fresh ones at the end of each phase.

  • I was going to do this too but if only just for myself. If I see a big enough change I will show them off, but I suppose I could share them with my fellow workouters :)
  • I took before pictures last week. I'm not going to share them until I feel comfortable and have reached my final goal :) I plan on taking new pictures every 2 weeks.

    Haha...I agree. I'm going to take some but If I don't think there has been a big enough change I won't show mine either.

    LOL...definitely!
    I just took my "End of Phase One" photos last night, it's a day early but that's okay.
    I did see some changes. My arms were so BIG before, I definitely lost a lot of fat in them. Also my legs are toning up a lot. I can't wait to see what changes Phase 2 will bring. I'm really digging taking photos though, it really lets you see the difference.
    I'm thinking I might do that after the program too, maybe 1x per month for 1 year. We will see.

    I really need to take some. I just never know what to wear. I don't want to be the chick in her undies, but I also want something that's going to let you see the changes. I think I'll take pictures today.

    Awesome! ?Glad you are seeing some results already! Sumnerfan, My Pictures were taken by a 5 yr old and only in workout clothes. Still if results are good, I should be able to see them!! Maybe after I finish Phase 1, I'll do the workout bra and panties....Oh geez, did I say that out loud!!! :noway: :laugh:

    I've been taking them in my bikini and I do not belong in a bikini but I think I'm going to be blacking out face, bra, and panties area when and if I show mine just so people don't focus on the wrong things and just for my own dignity.:wink:

    I don't think I have a bikini anymore!! Lol maybe because I'm old enough to be your mommy!!! :noway: but if I end up with a fitness model's body....I'll have to get me a new one!! :bigsmile:

    I'm always taking pics! LOL I think they show your true accomplishments. I am nowhere NEAR wearing a bikini, prolly never will with stretch marks and all, But I did take my pics before I started Phase 1 in my workout bra and panties (using the self timer on my camera) LOL :tongue: If I can ever figure out how to post pics on here, I will post em probably a few weeks into the program or maybe not even till the end, depends on how much of a change there is. And how secure I am with putting them on the world wide web :embarassed:

    Heck if I know! I am not so sure that I should go straight in to Phase 3 after I finish Phase 2. I've got 30 lbs to lose to reach my goal.

    What is the after program?

    Yea...Well, you could always go all the way through than start again at phase 2. I think that's what she suggests after we finish which I'm seriously considering unless I find another cool program I'd like to try instead. We will see....
    1 step at a time for now :tongue:

    LOL....My boyfriend saw a pic of you and thought you were my friend Nikki who is 28 I believe so I wouldn't say you look to old.
    I hope we are all wearing bikinis with confidence this time next year. Or even sooner for that matter!!

    Yes.. I hear ya. I thought I would post them as I go but than the time came and I realized that I want to wait until the end when I have drastic results to compare too. If I'm still not looking how I want at the end of the program than I'll take some at the end of the year maybe.

    I took my before pictures today in a bikini. Holy cow...hoping to look a lot better in the 'after' pictures in the same bikini because the ones today were rough! I'm starting the program June 4 (Monday) and am taking the rest of this week to figure out the whole eating plan, make a list, shop, and prep.

    I took before and afters today also in a bikini. Front shot not too horrible, but looking much worse than I realized from the rear! Time to get serious! Started the program today and feeling optimistic.
