    Yes, that is exactly it. Every person on MFP that is smaller than you is out to make you jealous and sabotage your journey.

    :flowerforyou: I love seeing them! I love thinking ( in my own mind ) that they used to look like me and if I work really hard I can look like them!!!

    MFP does not have a way for you to adjust how a picture is cropped and so some pictures just come out showing only a portion of someone's body instead of the whole thing in the thumbnails.

    Eh, I just admire them and move on. People can put up any pictures that they want, for any reason they want, and I really doubt there is any sort of subliminal message attached to them other than the ones you are giving yourself...

    I noticed a lot of skin pics (midriffs only poses) of the "skinnier" MFP members. Is this a "look at me, I'm so sexy aren't I?" thing or a "AND YOU TOO CAN HAVE A RAIL THIN STOMACH LIKE ME IF YOU KEEP AT IT?" message to the not so skinny MFP members? Just curious.

    Pretty sure it's a "Hey, look what hard work and determination can do!"

    Seriously, you're on here to get fit. How do you NOT find that as motivation?

    I've busted my *kitten* to get where I'm at :-) And I'm really proud of my accomplishment. Over 9 months of changing my lifestyle: the way I eat, working out nearly every day of the week, and overcoming challenges stronger than I was and for the better...

    So yes, look what I did!

    When you get to your goals, we'll all be here to cheer YOU on too :-)

    I don't care why they do it, so long as they do it. It's motivating. I love it.

    All depends on which mfp you are talking about. True story.

    honestly if I ever get my stomach to look like those pictures I am definitely posting pictures off it everywhere and probably spending most of my day just admiring it.

    They worked for it, they should be damn proud.

    Midriff or physique photos are great I think, these people worked hard, it's a mark of achievement!!! But to each their own!

    That's totally what I'm saying with my profile pic. Obviously.

    Look at you, you're so sexy aren't you?

    Uh, YEAH. She is. *high five*

    AND YOU TOO CAN HAVE A RAIL THIN STOMACH LIKE THIS IF YOU KEEP AT IT!


    Hahahaha "rail thin" is a phrase that has NEVER been used to describe me. Ever. *High five* back at ya!

    I was TOTALLY thinking of you ALL when I posted my progress picture - of which I worked my *kitten* off for for a photo shoot and upcoming competition.... dag anbbit... BUSTED.

    ....Or, I posted it to show myself how far I've come again after starting over and how much more I still have to go in the next 7 weeks. and, pretty sure most people posted theirs for them, too, but I only speak for me.
