OMG! I would kill my husband...
A guy I went to high school with posted this on facebook
With the caption "Before and After! Wow what a great improvement!"
This is his wife. She has obviously lost some lbs, and kudos to her, but before and after pics on fb. Really?! 
Maybe I'm alone in this, but around my place, heads would m-f-ing roll.

Yeah, heads probably wouldn't roll around here, because instead of being angry I'd probably gain all my weight back eating away at my husband's lack of love. Really, if you're struggling with your weight and successfully lose it, then your husband posts B/A pics with that caption....I'd feel like he thought I was ugly when I was larger and was lying to me the entire time (oh, honey, you're gorgeous no matter what you weigh).
Maybe it's the caption that rubs me the wrong way. B/A pix may be slightly acceptable (to me at least) if the caption was at least "Look at my wife's hard work! Congratulations, sweetie!"
LOL!!!
And sarges, I agree with you....maybe if the caption were different it wouldn't seem soooo bad.

Yeah, I think it's all about subtext. "WOW! What a great improvement" translates to me as, "Look, my wife's not a cow anymore!!"
A better caption may be read a different way. And she really wasn't that overweight to begin with....

Bahaha. I agree.
In this a$$hat's defense, I know they've been doing PSX30 or whatver it's called and some extreme diet together. So, I'm sure it's coming from a place of support. Still, this is unacceptable. I lost 30lbs before the wedding, and I look at pics from our engagement and want to gag. I certainly don't need everyone I (or worse he!) knows seeing a side-by-side comparison.
