SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Aline Mekhdjian has worked hard to lose 30 pounds this year, and she's determined to lose 30 more.
Now the 28-year-old can see exactly what she'll look like at her goal weight, thanks to Weight Mirror.
"It was neat to see the thighs are getting a little slimmer, because that's one of your focus points is trying to reduce the lower body," said Aline.
All she did was up load a photo of herself to the free website and voila, she could see herself 30 pounds lighter!
"The waist is looking really narrow, and that's what I want to achieve."
Aline plans to post this "after" photo on her fridge.
She said, "I think having that visual aid every morning when you wake up or by your refrigerator kind of motivates you to stay away from unwanted foods."
Weight loss experts we talked to say the visual image the website provides could be an excellent motivator, especially for people who've experienced initial weight loss and can't seem to get that number on the scale to budge.
Of course the website is no substitute for workouts. You still need to exercise and eat less.
"It's a good guide," said personal trainer Tammy Parkinson. "It's a good visual and a good motivator, but it shouldn't be something that anybody is super attached to that they absolutely will look like the photo because every body is different."
