PING: Photoshop Gurus

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 11-26-2005, 10:04 PM

I have a small favor to ask, a small project for my personal use. I am totally clueless on how to use Photoshop, and for this to work I need someone who can make this image look at least somewhat realistic.

Now that Baby Rahn is almost 3 months old, I need to get serious about dropping the baby weight. I'm working with a personal trainer three times a week, working out with the mommies of Stroller Strides twice a week, and adding additional cardio time whenever I can bribe Arlie to watch the baby.

With the holidays here, I need some extra motivation. I have no will power when it comes to christmas cookies, pumpkin pie, peppermint mochas and turkey - the fattier dark meat. I would like to post a picture on the fridge to give me the little push I need to walk right past it.

I need someone who could Photoshop my face on a body. (It's not what you think, trust me.

) And it has to look pretty decent - obvious hack jobs won't make me think twice about having pumpkin pie for breakfast.

If you'd like to help me out, please send me a PM. I'd really, really appreciate it.

Anthony · 11-26-2005, 10:07 PM

i'll give it whirl. email me to let me know what you need:

Thanks HA, email sent.

Joe · 11-26-2005, 10:29 PM

Because my ass is huge. And it would just get worse if I didn't try to do something now.

Send me a PM as well. I will definitely give this a whirl.

dola....
Never mind, I guess I better send a PM to you first...oops. Skimming is not always a good way to read things.

Don't you have a pic from before getting pregnant? that could be a good motivator as you know it was real and not photoshoped. I'm working on loosing weight too before my girl will be born (less than 4 months from now) and as motivator i have a pic of myself from when i was a gym fanatic a few years ago, with 30 pounds less and no fat over the muscle. So far is working great, i'm getting the muscle back and loosing weight at same time (sadly not just because looking at the photo but being on diet and going daily to the gym, but the pic helps).

He's not an ass man. He's a boob man, and those are doing just fine in his opinion.

But seriously, with most of his time taken up by BBCF these days, the three times a week he watches the baby for 2 hours while I work with my trainer is about as much as he can give me right now, with out giving him something in return.

That helps me get to the gym and my stroller class. Before the baby I was really disciplined about my food intake. But close to nine months of being able to rationalize eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted has made me lazy. I'm not strong enough to resist pumkin pie with loads of fresh whip cream. Not yet anyway.

Good luck with your weight loss. Working out will give you so much more energy once Baby Girl Icy gets here. The trick after that will be keeping to your schedule. I wish you luck with that.

That takes time away from BBCF. And you guys need a game more than I need to get some.

So how soon can we set up a time for you to meet with Jim's wife in order to convert her to your way of thinking?

Since you aren't sharing pix or video, you're probably right about that.

My wife carries our little one in a sling and we go on family walks everyday. My problem is that I put on more weight than my wife did during this pregnancy, so I am working that off by taking my 4 year old son to the nearby state park and going out on the nature trails a few times a week.

Anthony · 11-27-2005, 10:41 AM

i have taken care of Farrah's request to her satisfaction.

i did one worst case scenario and one best case scenario...let me just say Farrah with long hair down to her butt and in a bikini=caliente.

in all seriousness, i hope farrah loses as much weight that will make her happy, and not a pound more. women of today are such horrbile critics of their own body, and hold themselves to such unrealistic standards. one problem i think every woman has is this: they see us looking at Victoria Secret models with lust, they see how when a hot chick is in a commercial and we stare just a little too intently - and they think that's what we require out of our spouse. the mistake is (most down to earth) men don't necessarily require a woman with a Barbie body. we look at chicks with hot bodies like we look at exotic cars - sure, it'd be neat to have one and we've all had fantasies of getting in one, but nothing beats our reliable Nissan Maxima that's never failed us and will keep going for a long time.

so i agree that women should lose weight, but only as much as would take to make them happy, and not as much as they think it would take to make us happy. and i say this about women in general, and not directed at any particular person in this thread.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 11-29-2005, 09:41 AM

Alrighty I've got some pretty good ones from both HA and Antmeister. Thanks to both of them!

Unfortunately posting them will get me boxed so fast my head will spin. I'll happily PM them if you'd like to see.

If you end like in that pic, i doubt Arlie will expend any minute on programing anymore.

Pumpy is overzealous in his desire to show Antmeister appreciation for his many brilliant parody songs.
