I plan on getting healthy trying to get rid of this bloated distended nasty ibs tummy and lose a few pounds and even get in shape...What would you wear? would you wear for the before picture? just a bra and panties something not that pretty? would you buy something fancy and wear it in your before and after picture? or wear something just plain in the before then something fancy in the after? Would you wear something diffrent everytime you took a progress picture but keep the before and final and last makeover pic the same?

I'm thinking of buying this sexy expensive bikini I would never dream of wearing in my life unless there wasn't a trace of my ibs showing and I looked completly normal no more marks where I push gas out on my sides or distension,prego looking bloat AND could actually get off the toilet to go swimming...Should I wear something I find nice but not overly sexy in the first before...then when my makeover is complete and I am complelty satisfied buy the bikini then? But I did really think if I bought the bikini in the first place and used it in my before picture that it would really motivate me...but here is a picture of something off eden that isn't overly sexy but looks fine for a before picture,don't you think? link less

In the process of - my 'before' pic was just me in a tank top and workout capris. I can get away with this because my weightloss is rather dramatic ... size 22 to wherever I end up in the single digits (currently size 18). I'm due in for my six-month progress picture in January, and will just wear a workout cami and capris. For my final one ... more of the same; gives consistency to the photos.

It wouldn't be too bad for you to wear a cropped tank and a pair of shorts if you don't want to do the all-out bikini shot for your first one. It'll still show what shape you're in and give you some dignity. less

I never thought to do something like this, though I would go with something simple. In my case, I had, and still have, a good amount to lose, so I would just get something like a plain black or white bra and panties, so that you can find the same thing in the smaller size so you don't feel like you are attributing the differences in how you look to, "well, this bra had a lot more cushion," or something like that. Too, why pay for something that you're not going to be wearing for much longer than a few months. I've changed bra sizes 3 times in the last 4-5 months, so now I feel guilty about buying an expensive lacy one from Victoria's Secret .

I'd have to say, though, that set looks like it would be a good choice to do before/after pictures. less
