How Do You Take Weight Loss Progress Photos That Are Worth Comparing?

Progress photos only work if they are comparable: same spot, same light, same clothes, same time of day, once a month rather than daily. Keep them with your daily check-ins — FastSyncerFastSyncer is free on both stores and has a before-and-after post type, so you can also show them to people only when you choose to.

The five rules

Monthly, not daily. Daily photos show water, not fat.
One spot, one light. Morning, same window, every time.
Same clothes, and as few as you are comfortable in.
Front and side, phone at chest height, no posing.
Date them, or in six months they are useless.

FAQ

Why do I look worse some months?

Light and water. That is why the rules above matter more than the photos.

Do I have to share them?

No. Posting is a choice; the app does not do it for you.
