ThinnerView: A way to see a thinner version of you.

ThinnerView does one thing, and seemingly very well. It converts photos of you overweight and shows you what you’d look like slim. The idea? To motivate you and keep you focused on achieving your goal and getting to that particular weight/size.
ThinnerView: A way to see a thinner version of you.

From what we’ve seen, the images are actually pretty impressive – as in realistic – and I can definitely see how it could inspire someone to lose weight.

The process? Upload a photo of yourself (theses are the guidelines for type of photo), place an order and you’ll be sent the ThinnerView image 2-3 working days later. The company make a point out of saying “we do NOT use simple, generic, slimming software that squeezes the image resulting in unrealistic (and non-effective) results”, and my the look of the images above and below, I’d have to agree.

If you’re not happy with the results however, the company will make as many necessary amendments and if you’re still unsatisfied, they’ll offer a complete refund.

It costs $14.99 per image sent in, with discounts if you want more than one.

  • interesting technology
    don't know if people will pay for it though

    Interesting "technology"? By that you mean... a guy sitting at a desk with Photoshop?
    Clearly, this isn't an automated process. And it looks like people are paying for it. Neverunderstimate the silliness of women on diets!
  • Can they make me all muscular and tanned too? I think there is a huge market for pale geeks who don't work out but want to look like Brad Pitt...

    Oh wait, I have Photoshop. All done!

    A friend of mine has already used the site and seems very happy.. I will say the results were extremely realistic and it has motivate her for sure! Let's see if it keeps her motivated, that remains to be seen, but from what Ive seen so far, it's pretty cool.

    I didn't get the feeling the site was making people feel bad about how they look. I get the feeling the site is just giving people a tool to motivate them towards their own goals, not telling them what their goal should be or why it should be.

    For instance, my friend had never been thin her whole life so it was really hard for her to even imagine herself at a healthier weight. And believe me, she is wanting to lose to get healthy NOT to fit a norm. So for her it is a great motivator.

    Look, loosing weight ain't easy and lots of people need help with it. If you've been heavy you'll understand. I applaud any new method that assists people towards a healthier lifestyle.
  • I'll take the before of pic #1 please and leave you all to play.
