Before I started gaining, I loved comparison pics. It's just amazing to be able to see the progress and the changes, and it can be quite a shock to look back too! So when I began my own efforts to get bigger, I started taking photos of myself at various angles and poses (things like facing camera, sideways, sat down, some more experimental ones - about 10-12 in all) and with each handful of pounds I put on, I'd take the same picture at the same angle, distance etc (or as close as I could) so that I can get an accurate comparison all around!
Now an extra 120lbs+ later, I have a pretty crazy collection. I wondered if anyone else takes these kinds of pictures as regularly as I do? It's weirdly super motivating seeing how far I've come and being able to compare the changes at every step, plus it's fun to keep track of too! But it also can let you think about how much further you still want to go and be a motivational tool that way too.
For anyone still starting out or in early days of gaining, I fully recommend it, and you should start doing it as early as possible to really capture the full story as you go!
