Take a BEFORE pic, you WILL regret it if you don't !!
I mean, get someone else to hold the camera, or set a timer, to take a full, head to toe, in the tightest & least amount of clothes that you feel comfortable 'enough' in ( & can get away with posting here on MFP ) ... AND/OR take one wearing a daggy pair of 'fat pants' so you can do the 'now I fit into ONE leg of my old pants' shot or the good old 'hold out the waist band to show all the missing inches' :happy: & make sure it's in good light !!!
I KNOW you don't want to do it & it is embarrassing & depressing & you hate photo's of your body & you want to destroy all evidence of a less-than-perfect you ... & ... & ... but pleeeease be brave for just a moment & trust me !!
You WILL lose weight, and aren't the success stories with photos in the other section just AMAZING !!?? That will be you one day soon !! :flowerforyou:
If you don't take that before shot you will be kicking yourself like I am right now !! :noway: I am so annoyed that I do not have a 'before' to put side-by-side with my 'after' :grumble:

I've lost 10 kgs total now, since I was at my heaviest & started actively trying to lose weight ... still have about 7kg to go, but I am so much happier with how I look, loving having a jawline & a collarbone & it is obvious to everyone that I have lost weight, but ughhhh damnit !!0

I took one from a month ago and compared with this month, HOLY HELL!! the difference!! I am soooo in agreement with this thread :flowerforyou:0

Oh man, I didn't think of this at all.
I just started my weight loss journey and have only begun to lose weight (2 lbs.) So, I haven't been doing this long enough to see results in the mirror, so I'm at the perfect time to take a good "before" photo. I will do so tomorrow morning0 -
I have been taking pictures every week. I just want abs SO bad.0
-
I just took Before photos! Thanks for the reminder:)0

Yes because the day may likely be coming when the scale stops or even goes up no matter what you do and those pics are going to keep you going. I didn't lose an ounce between Sept and late December this last year, but I kept taking pics every few weeks and could see the changes the scale doesn't tell you about.
I only wish I hadn't waited to lose the first 21 pounds before I would get in front of the camera.0 -
im in the same boat! lost 50 lb and have nothing good to compare to! take your pics!!0

So glad to have helped, don't forget now !!0 -
So true. Go do it now. No one but you ever has to see it!0
-
I wish I had taken one 20 pounds ago, but I am starting to do that monthly, going to make it into some sort of fat-colleague I guess later to remind me to never go back there again.0
-
I did and I can see a major difference! Soooo glad I did. It really helped me to keep pushing forward0

My before, during and present pics are on my ticker and profile pic! I am soooo pleased I took them now! Even though I look bloody horrible in the before's. I have only lost 2.3lbs in the past couple of months I have lost inches!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT x0

Thankfully i have taken pics weekly, most are on my profile...the first few weeks i couldn't see any differences, my husband disagreed with me and tried to point out how well id done already.
Now when i look at them i cant believe the change. Having the pics keeps me going, i dont want to go back to looking like that.0 -
I took a before pic the other day and I have the picture that gave me a kick up the butt because it was posted on facebook and I was like, oh my word - yikes! Can't wait for the day where I can put a picture up and think, ha (on facebook that is) x0
