Just a thought. They tell you to send a report to a certain email...how are you certain that the email you received isn't itself a phishing scam and when you send to their email addy, you are giving them the info they need??

It's an eighth of a ton for cripes sake!!!!! How can anything that weights an eighth of a ton, look diminutive??? In whose fantasy? And I've always thought (in my own private Idaho) that I carried my weight well and hid it well. HA! Double HA!

dlslds But it's the darkness of my Starship Enterprise shirt hiding a multitude of sins. Look at the martini pant photos above and you will see how misleading poses are in photos. I mean, the shear width of my ass aside, look at the profile and behind photos. Heidi is hidin' WAY more than her "current photo" alludes as we've all suspected!

Hey Pooti don't let Heidi see those martini pants..she'll tell you to ditch them as wearing them could cause you to stall.

Remember the words of the Captain's Lady: "Lay off the martini (pants) and let your body show you what it can do."

Jo - Gary question - Have you noticed those orange drawers he uses for his 100 pound weight loss? Why is that face positioned in such a strategic place?

Maybe Gary's not a sock....maybe he's a pair of under britches.

No, you're not fooling yourself. It is quite evident that the photo was photoshopped. My highest weight was 250, not that far off from yours. I was a size 20 and I did NOT look as slim as Heidi looks there. It's just another one of her cons. I can't imagine how she's going to get off the hook this time unless she really does lose the weight. But, then, there are surprises galore, and that is why the name of this thread is what it is.

I have some black socks with martinis and hot pink flamingos on them.

I have them safety pinned together in a sealed ziplock in a drawer so that one won't get away and run off to California to be in Heidi's next talent search.

Totally amazing what clothes and pose do! Thank you for doing it.

...and your show and tell for today has certainly demonstrated that.

Thanks so much for doing this, it's very instructive. Especially in the neck area.

Erh, could you have someone pull your head up from your neck while someone else takes the picture?

Can you put one on your hand and take a picture of it please? I would like to see a side-by-side analysis of it next to Hidey!

Yeah, k thanx. Look I was elated when I lost chin number 3 with the first 55lbs! I'm pretty sure it's gonna take another 75 more pounds to get rid of chin #2 . I've never had much of a neck, much less been able to reach the top of a tree for leaves!

Well, this certainly shows the value of getting the right pose, doesn't it?

\Pooti, if you look at Heidi's right side (on the left in the picture), you can see she went overboard and there's a big piece of her leg/thigh missing. Tsk, Tsk. This is what happens when you're not working with a small enough tool in order to be precise.

We don't know, they all work behind closed doors and have odd names like Olaf, Ivan, Dmitri, like that. They never come out. Once in awhile they call out for a case of rum.

Pooti you look wonderful! No, I'm not blowing smoke up your butt, so stick it!

It's an excellent visual for showing poses and how they can change perception. You really do look amazing--and truly like someone who's made darned good progress!
