Probably going to take more self portraits. I need to practice taking portraits and it will be nice to document my weight loss.

I know the composition isn't great, but working on it.

Maybe some more dark space on the left(extend the border out another eighth of the total width) Maybe not. So which method are you going to use for the weight loss...I need to loose about thirty pounds so I'm shopping for good advice.

Not a bad idea... might end up doing that, thanks :D
I pretty much just have to cut the soda out and be more active. Last time I did so, I lost about 30lbs in 2 months.

Really? I don't drink soda, so I can't do that....last time I went on a grim no carb/vegetarian diet and worked out constantly....and lost about 30 lbs, but almost killed myself in the process.

I didn't do anything crazy, just watched portion sizes, switched out some foods for stuff that was at least a little healthier. And walking. I walked for at least an hour every night, which was also a great way to de-stress.

I'm taking care of my mom, so I can't be out of the house that long....but it sounds cool. I get up real early and use the exercise bike for a couple hours...I think I'd do better if I spent more time in the studio and less in front of the tv....that damned thing is like sitting in front of a neon sign that's flashing the word "EAT" over and over.

The TV is the worst motivator :nod: For me it's the computer (it screams "keep sitting on your @$$).

:D That too! I decided to resort to nukes and hire a model to come over once a week...I go through these art-funks fairly often, and in the past having someone to draw and paint really helped me get my art back.
How were you planning to document your weight loss...just a series of self-portraits or the same pose? Maybe you should plan something monumental for when you hit your target!

I haven't really decided on how, but probably various poses. I need to learn to face the camera face on. I am in love with some of the amazing self portraits here on dA and I might try to be as creative as some of them, in my own way. When I reach my goal, I've been thinking about offering model stock.
