Has anyone else decided to make a scrapbook of their weightloss? I am... From pictures of my highest wait and after surgery taking pictures every week then putting in a book to see my success!!!

Cute idea, and probably a great motivator for the dreaded stall!

I havent done one yet but I have been wanting to, just gotta find and print out a bunch of old pictures, I still have my hospital bracelet, that might be pretty cool to put in it.

I never thought of doing it. That's a great idea though! I have surgery in a few weeks so it's something I should start!

There was an artist that did this just recently. She weighed about 320lbs and lost half of her body weight, and took lots of pictures, mostly nudes and stuff. It was eye-opening. It was uplifting and disheartening at the same time. These were the first real photos I have seen of the dreaded extra-skin, and I am still not over it.

That being said, I hope to document my loss along the way- just maybe with clothes on! :ph34r:

She did them in fitting rooms - she’s a student and the pictures were pretty basic

I’m a photographer and there is more than one way to skin a cat -

you can tripod your camera and put it on a timer - or get a cordless remote (i use those for the real little kids when I’m on the floor all the time)

I plan to journal once a week - I probably should start soon as I’m on my 6 month mandatory diet thingy and have lost 10 already...

good luck to everyone.

Me too! I look absolutely horrible. I wanna take a picture and know it will look good lol

That is an awesome idea girl! I haven't allowed anyone (myself included) to take a picture of me in over a year now....but maybe I should so that when it is all said and done I can see just how far i have come!

The works in Half are the nudes I was referring to before. Talk about documenting changes.

I can make anyone look amazing - you just had the wrong photographer - your looking for candids to document a series - pick a color - whatever color - and stick to that for the duration - some colors even look better/worse on - Baby Blue and Grey (2 VERY popular colors) DO NOT photograph well - and yet people wear that allot -

Stick with your favorite color - mark a spot on the wall or floor - make sure you take the shot from the exact same position and voila - same angle too - because raising or lowering your camera can change how you look -

fun project -
