Anyone know how to get a FREE wight loss projection image??



Recommended Posts

I had seen these from time to time and would LOVE the extra motivation. Unlike some people on here, I have been overweight my whole life- recently obese- but was never considered thin. So I'd LOVE to see a visual of what I'd look like when I hit goal weight. Even if it's not free, could anyone make a recommendation? I've invested this much, why not a few more bucks, right?? I just want to make sure it's a good one. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

Prevention.com used to have one, but no more. :-( I'm looking for one, too.

Oh, I forgot!

iGoogle has one that's not as good as the Prevention.com one was.

It looks like MyVirtualModel.com works, but you can't *DO* anything with the model except shop. Still neat to see. I put my starting weight, then set my current weight and it was neat to see the model change. :-)

Let's see if this works -- this is "me" at 197 and then 181 and then goal (Don't know if that's too skinny for my taste or not -- I'll have to wait and see):

Hey Sawyer, How did you make the collage??

And by the way, I figured out how to put my face on the model. It's pretty creepy though...If you tell me how to post it, you can see for yourself! haha!

I use a program called Irfanview (irfanview.com) that lets you make a panorama image out of separate images. I just did screen shots of the model and cropped them.

If you do use the program, it's under Image, Create Panorama Image, Horizontal, Add Images, Create, Save.

OK, I DID IT!! I can't figure out how to post the picture but it is totally worth it to go to my profile and look at my albums to see it. How creepy is it with a real face?!?!?! Hahaha!

Awesome! Yes, creepy! Ha ha. Here it is! I just got the URL by right-clicking "View Image" -- I put mine in my sig, but trying to get the right size so it's not obnoxious! haha. Nice progress, BTW! Go you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
