I saw that recently. I'm too lazy to work out or diet, but it does make me more aware of how crappy I look in pics because of how I stand.

That's incredible, I hadn't seen that before! I'm noticing more and more how pervasive the 'skinny' mentality is in our culture.
On the plus side, it gives me some great tips to look better in photos, lol.

I've always noticed that the people are dressed in horrible clothing and have no makeup on in the before shots. But then they have nicer clothing and makeup in the after shots. So you just have to be suspicious of that. They should at least wear the same thing in doing a real comparison photo.

I've read that the "after" picture is really before picture. So you have a super fit guy who takes a picture, then stuffs his face with junk to gain weight.

I notice some bloggers do this too -- they will take pictures in unflattering light and poor posture, and after they lose the weight they put on make up, use better lighting. Ugh, it annoys me!

I remember seeing something similar to this not too long ago. A girl documented her weight loss, but a website said it happened in a short period of time. The girl dispelled it saying that it took a year to achieve. It makes me feel happier about how long it's taken to lose the weight.
