Where can I get a thin photo done?

You know a cgi one that makes you look skinny so you can see what the end result might be?

Yes...it is really easy

Just go to Lands End and click on Virtual Model and then put in your current stats...then change them to what you'd like to be and see the model change too! Amazing and inspiring....althoug I know I'm not as tones at my current weight as their model is...but it gives you an idea.

I love your Lands End idea! Then once the virtual model on your screen looks like you would like, then
- hit your "Print Screen" button (without the shift button) to put your screen image into your Windows Clipboard.
- open your Windows "Paint" software.
- paste the image into "Paint".
- use the "Select" feature to crop and copy an image to print.
- post on refrigerator!

Also, if you get professional pictures taken, most studios work entirely with digital imaging now - they can actually airbrush, and take chunks off of you! We recently had family photos taken, and the guy did that to my mom, not b/c she was too fat, but just b/c she was wearing black and had her arm at her side, and otherwise, it looked like she was fat and had no arm!

Or, if you have a friend who is good with photoshop, and a digital camera...

The girls in Playboy, Cosmo, etc., really aren't that skinny and perfect, they just have unbelievably good photo editors!

The above poster is totally right, they girls in magazines are airbrushed, just look at the link below, scroll your mouse over the picture to see real picture. Click on Next to see more. I was really shocked when I saw this.

I only wish I looked that good. The Lands End model doesn't have cellulite.

That's Lands End virtual model is soooo cool! Thanks for the info. Oh, and my co workers and I got a kick out of the air brushed photos!

The retouching comparisons are amazing. How unfair is that?! I want retouching on all my photos! Not that rich, oh well, back to the gym.....

I'll just take an airbrush that I can wave over my clothes and the heck with my pics...lol

Wow, my fiance and I often sit around and look at magazines and guess as to whether the boobs are fake... Ha, I guess all along they've just been airbrushed!! Now mine seem perkier than I once thought! Sweet!!

Before and after virtual model

At the Lands End site, I created 1 virtual model for my current weight, saved a few of the views with the default outfit (bra and underwear) and then did the same for my desired weight. I put both pictures on my fridge to see the before and after.
