I really wanna document my weight loss for those that come after me and to also motivate myself. I was thinking of a generic headshot daily to see the changes to my goal weight (150 lb loss). I'm sure most of you have done your own progress shots. What other cool ideas of the rest of you have for documenting such a journey that we are all on?

I kept the same clothes and took progress pictures in them each time. I'll add one below!

It's so great to see the progress right in front of your eyes!

Some one suggested writing a letter to yourself. I did that and marked it with my goal weight. It's in my jewelry box waiting......

Also I made myself a measurements chart and will watch those dimensions change even when the scale might be poky. And I'm going to use clothing sizes, too -- today on band day I am Lee long 18 on the bottom and 2x in Lands End or Coldwater Creek tops. Will be fun to watch that change.

Pictures are great....even if you cant "see" your progress and you have pictures to look at makes a huge diffrence. I cant really tell a huge diffrence but I lost 70 pounds, and I have pictures that I look at now and say wow!!!! Im going to save the biggest pair of pants that I own (size 24) and shirt (2x-3x, but I am big busted) and when I hit that 1 year mark I hope to get some amazing pictures in the same huge clothes.

For me:

- Pictures are great....but I'm a numbers guy, so they're only so good. My wife keeps saying that I look great, but I don't stand there and look in a mirror, so pictures are the only thing I see myself in.

- I wish I had done measurements as some people will mention. But the one measurement that I regret not having is my body fat percentage. You can obtain one of those little devices that measure your body fat percentage (they're like $25 or less on Amazon). I would love to have seen that number trend as I began losing the weight and began working out a bit more.

- Clothes and accessories (hello old belt that is now huge!) are a great indicator.
