Do you, have you, did you take photos of your journey and if not do you regret not doing so?

I took a picture the night before my surgery and I wish I would have taken them along the way.  I did not even take measurements and I could kick myself.  I really wish I would have.

I took a photo the night before my surgery.  I have a few photos since then because of events I attended and what-not.  I did not take measurements preop.  I regret not doing a monthly pic and measurements all along the way.  I planned on doing it, but I just never did.  I did keep a pair of pants that I wore pre-op.  That visual takes care of the measurement portion.  It's pretty wild to hold them up on myself.  I gave all of my other "big" clothes away.

My surgeons office took a pic when I was there for my preop appt. I took pics 2 days before surgery, and was doing it monthly using the same outfit same date each month but have missed a couple of those.  I take measurements every month.  And now that im 100 lbs lighter Im not so afraid of the camera.

I have a few pre op pics...and some along the journey...wish I would have taken more though....

I took before pictures and each month my husband takes my pictures.  I was using the same outfit, but now that I'm 90 lbs down, I don't use the same clothes anymore.  I also kept a pair of pants that I wore at the time of surgery.   I did not take measurements, I wish that I had.    Jules

I've only had a few pictures taken.  I really regret not having one taken at least every 4 weeks.

I took pics the night before.  Every month, I take a pic as well.  My friends and I want to make a scrapbook, but we'll see.  LOL

I do regret not taking any along the way! I like you did not even take measurements. So my only gauge is by what size I am wearing

I did not take pictures along the way and I so regret it now.  I also regret not keeping a pair of my "before" pants so I can see myself in one leg like so many of you!  I went out to buy a size 26/28 just so I could be then found a cute size 4 skirt instead

I took a few - not enough...   I spent so many years hiding from the camera, it took awhile for me to get comfortable with pictures. 

I did save a couple of outfits - things I just couldn't part with, due to memories..  thought about making a quilt out of them, but ya know - I just have better things to do now!!!
