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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
