FLAUNT WHAT YOU’VE GOT
Document your weight gain starting point with picture proof. Hop on the scales and get the tape measure out to take photos and share your current stats. Or, if you're not big on numbers, take some pics of yourself in an outfit that you can keep trying on for fit comparison later in the year. Get the camera out and start snapping today:
