Before Pictures

Lot of us probably are already planning on doing this, but don't forget to take some good front/side/back pictures. Surely we all dread photographs of our fatasses, but I'm pretty sure we'll all be happy when we're down 100 lbs and can post side-by-side comparisons.

I'm going to have my husband take some of me tonight.

Wooo, I'm so excited!

  • My hubby's taking mine tomorrow, can't wait for the after pics when i have reached goal. This is nerve racking at the same tome very exciting.

  • I have to have my sister come over and do it.....despite my husband seeing me naked...I just can't bear the thought of him taking these pictures...stupid, eh?

  • Oh, NO WAY, are my pics going to be nude either, I was just saying that despite him seeing me that way (ick), I couldn't bear him taking pics of me in my stretchy pants and t-shirt as a "before" - -

No, not stupid. I'm cringing at the thought of my husband taking my pictures tonight. I haven't been fully naked in front of him in years. Mind you, my before pictures won't be of me in the nude, lol, but I will have to wear some clothing that is tight that accentuates my rolls and my low hanging gunt. Eeek!

I'd never post these pictures, even here, without another picture right next to it, with me looking fabulous.

I took photos but they were all clothed. I don't want to see myself naked and I sure as hell don't want anyone else to - yuck!

Yeah, I meant clothed pictures, lol. Why did you all assume otherwise? Ha ha, Pervs. ;)

We took those pictures last night (with tight clothing, not nekkid). I also took all my measurements, and I've entered them into a handy Excel spreadsheet.

I figure we'll take pictures monthly, to see how I'm progressing.

Yet another step in getting ready for our surgery, guys!

slm started it!

:lol:

Well, shoot. The husband is home now. I guess it's time to take pics. Clothed. LOL

I'm going to have my daughter take my before pics... I don't want anyone else concentrating on my before-ness. LOL

I used a mirror and took them myself. I'm sure DH would have done it, but it just makes my fatness too real for me.:o

I could just use one I have of me and my horse, but then I would have to explain which was which.

:P

Empty nest you are too funny. You all are brave I would never had taken before pictures. The image is burned in my brain forever. But good for you if you do it. I had a friend that did it every two weeks wearing the same clother standing in the same place and you could really tell a difference.

Looking forward to seeing your after photos!!

I'm going to do before pics (clothed)and post one in the bathroom so I can see it every morning to remind me of what I don't want to go back to. I'm also going to carry one with me at all times..
