Ok so I have only lost 8lbs but I made a mental promise with myself to take pics for every 7lbs so I could keep motivating myself. I really don't feel like I look any different but I actually believe it now, hence why I think taking pictures is an awesome idea!
Still have a long way to go but feels like a milestone!
Good luck everyone!
Started at 188 and now 180!!

    Definitely seeing the difference. And don't worry about the look. As long as you have motivation and willingness, scale will not lie. I am down 45, but don't have guts to put my pics to a public. Maybe one day...

    Thank you so much for posting this. I was so amazed with the difference in you with only 8 pounds that you inspired me to take some pictures of myself. I had taken before pictures but I thought there wasn't much change. I have lost 10 pounds so far. I couldn't see the difference either in the mirror but I sure can in the pictures. You look GREAT!!! Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for sharing these. You can definitely see a difference. I'm a believer in pictures too; I'm doing mine every 2 weeks along with measurements.

    I don't "see" a difference, but the measuring tape and pictures helped me to realize that there is one! Yay for you being brave enough to share yours!

    It is amazing to see how 8lbs pads the body. You can totally see the difference in the two photos and you have done a great job! Congrats!

    great idea documentation is the key. I have always been kinda into messing with Excel (yes I am a Big Bang Theory type nerd) so I have been creating spreadsheets and charts for EVERY THING. I know its kinda excessive but I have a camcorder so I am actually videoing my workouts. I ride my stationary bikje 20 minutes a day so I setup the camera on a tripod and tape the entire thing. Same as my weight workouts. I even take pictures of what I eat before I eat it and meticously record all the Nutrition Facts on the label. Far from being tedious I am a Biologist so I have science in my blood so I find this kind of record keeping fun


    EXCELLENT JOB

    Nice change! Definately more toned!! You are doing fantastic! It is amazing what 8 lbs will do. It seems like such a small number. Im in the same boat as you. I have been taking photos every two weeks. I hit 8 lbs off today. I was very pleased when I saw my progress photos yesterday.
