Weight Loss Visualisation

One of the great surprises that came with the first release of My Virtual Model in 1998 is how fast people discovered how to use it for weight loss visualisation. You can now find thousands of personal pages, blogs, forums and online communities using MVM for free.

And we love it as much as users seem to love MVM!

Lise The Loser’s Weblog: "Found something pretty fun - a virtual weight loss simulator from Prevention. Just plug in your current weight and your goal weight and you have a mini-you... now and at your ideal weight."

JAY75REY's Blog: "I've seen other virtual model images on Spark People so I got to My Virtual Model's website and made one for me. I really like it because it helps me visualize the changes that have already occurred due to my weight loss. I feel better and know my clothes fit better, but it's nice to see a "before and after"."
