Do you take progress pics?

Use the mirror more than photos. Its a bit like the scale and any one measurement can be meaningless and its the trend that matters. Even a day can make a big difference depending on how hydrating you happen to be at that moment.

I tell you though mirror is looking sweet, I'll be thinking I'm doing pretty well. Take pictures and piffle, I may need to accept that Im a crappy photographer.

I do think there is a tendancy to look at oneself in the best possible light with mirrors. One can find that spot where they look good in terms of angles.





I guess it becomes a posing thing as well. I find its easy to flex everything with mirror feedback. Much harder without.

I go with that story too

Progress pics are invaluable. They take a lot of the emotion out of looking at yourself that is there in a mirror.

You have to take them right though. Same lighting, same pose...etc.

I have posted countless side by side or two year timeline progress pics...etc. They are not only a great tool to examine progress, they also serve as motivation.

I have them posted just about everywhere...so if I ever get into an X situation, I can find them...lol

Tis better to look UP in the mirror to be inspired than to look DOWN at the scale and lose your desire!! - SEM

I've taken 1. I figure I judge gains by compliments I get from friends or strangers, say when I'm in tank top....even better if just a t shirt. If they notice gains, yay! If not...step it up -.
I step on scale and take measurement too.
