While Visualize You uses your current height, weight, and picture, there is never a guarantee that you will look like the after photo. In other words, if you’re going to try a weight loss simulator or app, make sure you understand the limitations.
Weight loss doesn’t have to be about your physical appearance. Instead, celebrate non-scale victories like having more energy or accomplishing a fitness goal.
