Pictures can be the most exciting evaluation you
can do. The numbers and the tape measurements
are great, but actually seeing differences from
comparison photographs of yourself is quite
satisfying.

Taking full-length photographs is not difficult,
but to see the maximum difference between
before and after, you should follow these
guidelines.

1)

Keep everything the same. Wear the

same outfit, a snug solid color is best, and
have the person taking the picture stand
in the same place, with the same setting
behind you.

2)

Make sure you stand against an

uncluttered, light background.

3)

Have the person taking the photograph

move away from you until he can see
your entire body in the viewfinder.

4)

Stand relaxed for three pictures, front,

right side, and back. Do not try to suck in
your stomach.

5)

Interlace your fingers and place them on

top of your head, so the contours of your
torso will be plainly visible. Keep your
feet 8 inches apart in all three pictures.

6)

When you get the film developed tell the

processors to make your after photos the
same size as your previous ones. This
way, your height in both sets of photos is
equal and more valid comparisons can be
made.
