Last time i checked i was 198-200lbs, I certainly dont feel ive progressed as steadily or consistent as other people. Only managed to get down near a stone but dont think ive actually passed that yet.
Just been morphing my photo from the start of the fatloss with the one now and im actually surprised with the definition despite the low fatloss.
How is that possible? Couldnt possibly have gone that much muscle mass now could I?

Anyhow first time my pics are up. Gonna go hide now :P :nod: :d_eek: so i dont see the shock horror as i did on my sis face @ starting pic. :eek:

PS - im not actually that tanned. Bad colour balancing which i cant seem to get right for camera. Im still v much as pale in first pic. Good ol' UK weather.

Update @ 22 Dec 2004 : Swapped the morphing image for a static pic.

Looks like good progress.

The angles of the two pictures (you used two, right?) seem to be a bit off, I think that can be one thing that would make you look more defined than you should be. Or, your before is making you look fatter than you were, either way. Nobody can take away that progress though (except for you, but I doubt you will).

Heh tried to get them the same. Both were facing directly towards me, but the before pic was actually lower down than the after. Second time round i used a tripod.
I did try and resize both pics to get them to match in size in photoshop so that maybe it also. :whistle:

oh yeah, it was two pics BTW :)

Hey! That is so c0ol! How you do the morphing thing??

I have two images: original starting pic, and a pic of me now.
I cropped areas i didnt want off both pics and tried to get them the same size in photoshop. (put both pics on different layers and the now pic on the top. I altered the transparency to 50% so i can see the image below (the original) and them resized it and moved it about it till it matched in areas, like the groove around the neck , and the shoulders. Setting the now pic to 100% transparency, i saved the original pic as a image file, then set the transparency back to 0%, and saved the now pic. So now both are roughly the same size, and in the same locations.

I used this> morpheussoftware.net/ (trialware) to set some points down on the first pic which i moved the points around on second pic to correspond to the first pics location. For example, i created a point where my shoulder has angles. A point on the second pic appears, you move this point to where the angle is in the shoulder and you do the same for other areas.

Then you just render out to something. In my case a shockwave file.


Easier than it sounds, trust me :).

heres a freeware, not as good result IMO but its free :) http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/features/47039/Sarahs_Download_of_the_Day_SmartMorph.html

thanks for the tip... that software is pretty cool!

no problem :tu:

I don't see a link to the morphing image that was mentioned... I want to check this out!

i deleted it a while ago. If i have time i'll do it again and PM ya.

EDIT: click here for a video in a zip.
