It's a weight loss simulator. You tell it your body information and then tell it your current weight and your goal weight and it shows you 2 models. One as you look now, one as you will look. It's quite a motivator!! You can also go in as you lose weight and change your "now" weight.


Have fun!!

I didn't know about that one but I've done one just like it at virtual model or something like that.

Wow, that really opened my eyes..Especially when I rotated her

Well, I gave it a try and thought that the current weight model looked WAY much better than I do now. I called DH, who is never afraid to tell me I'm fat, and had him look at it. We kept putting in weight values until he said it looked like me. It was a 25 pound difference. I guess it depends more on just shape and height. Anyway, it's a cool tool to play with! Thanks!

Oh so interesting and I would say it DOES look like I do now. At least I THINK so. I HOPE that I don't look worse.

Does anyone else have a real problem seeing in your mind's eye what you really look like? I do. I do not see myself as overweight at all - at least in my mind. But I am oh-so-overweight. But I rarely "see" that -except maybe in pictures.

Yes I have the same problem. I don't see myself as overweight and then I look at pictures and I'm shocked!!

I was just messing around with it, and I think when you put a weight in, the computer assumes you are a toned whatever weight you put in. I'm about 5'2 and 122. I put in for the change 115. There was no difference at all in the images. 7 pounds of weight lost on me would be a HUGE difference, but there is no noticeable change. It's only a machine....it's not perfect!

i used it, and it's sad that you can't customise it more. I'm FAR more busty than the model it gave me, altho I chose the right body type. *sigh*

Thanks, I haven't seen anything like that. That is a motivator! I know there are several Peeps going to Disney for the Free Dining, and would love to have the motivation to lose the weight before going. Thanks for sharing!

I still think about you and MJ a lot! Hope you are doing ok.

I'm the same way. And since I'm the family photographer, I'm not in that many pictures. Basically, my clothing gives me my only accurate impression of my weight.
