idk how i got to finding this, but this woman went down from 220 to 131 lbs (i think) and every 10 lbs she lost, she would post a "full body" video of herself on youtube. she looks pretty good now (if you see her latest video compared to when she started). so... would you do something like this? like, recognize something wrong with you or something you need to improve on (physically or whatever), and document your progress. i think it's pretty inspirational when you're at the end and looking back at how far you've come... but it must be difficult in the beginning with people calling you gross and shit, especially since it's on the internet, right? would you subject yourself to that? |

I would, but I'm not sure I'd post a real time play by play. I would probably post the entire journey once I had a reached a goal.

i wouldn't do a video, but definitely a journal of some sort to record what i do daily.
maybe take a picture once every week to see how it goes and then form a slideshow? |

Sure, I've had my training log since 2004 and I've been updating it regularly since.

Dang, she looks good. When I was trying to lose weight I took pictures every time I lost 5 lb. I wore different clothes every time though so it didn't really show any progress. I would probably plan better if I wanted to lose 150 lb instead of 15 lb or tried something else more drastic.

I don't think I would record my weight loss unless I was loosing 100+ pounds or the changes were going to be very significant. If I get fat my boobs would be like 36 f, and I would have to kill myself so I don't intend on getting fat anytime soon. hatechewboobs. |
