That is where Weightview.com comes in. The thinner photos show people that it is possible for them actually be thin. In fact, Weightview.com patrons have expressed that the thinner photos have provided them with incentive to make a plan and stick to it. One user put it best when he said that the photo provided him with the motivation to keep his mouth shut."
Jackson also says, "For many dieters, finding the right source of motivation is half of the battle. Something this concrete allows users to do more than just imagine or dream about what they might look like; it enables them to actually picture themselves at their desired weight. Once they are motivated to achieve results they can move to take the appropriate -- and gradual -- steps in fitness to changing their body and lifestyle to make it a reality."
