Is anyone aware of a vendor or retailer which will take a photograph of
you and then alter it, via computer, to show what you would look like
thinner, or at your goal weight?

I seem to remember, within the last five years, hearing of this service
being offered either as a freebie (as a touring booth, perhaps?) or for
pay purposes.

I am aware of MyVirtualModel.Com, but I don't find it to be either
accurate in its depiction of weight loss (the models seem to remain the
same for levels, and have seem to have inaccurate 'heaviest' and
'thinnest' looks), and I'd love to employ this service.

Any hints would be appreciated.

I will be following replies on this via Google Groups, so if your
"X-No-Archive" flag is turned on, please also follow up via e-mail.

Thanks!

Mike

Or, one could do it themselves with an image manipulator program. On
linux there is the GIMP, or on WhineDows there is photoshop, or
something like that.

It sounds interesting to try though!
