Ever wonder if the picture people post are really them?

I guess I never really thought about it... I'm here to talk to and learn from and inspire people.. Not pictures

But since I am not me, did you actually catch me? That is the philosophical question of the night. Also, you guys like my leopard oil painting? LOL

Yeah, we still caught YOU, mr puppy face.

My photos are all me, 100% unedited. But like two years ago when I first made one here I used this picture of a girl with my dream body but I was very honest that it wasn't me. She was in lingerie ffs haha. Anyways, yah, I think it is pretty easy to tell who is using their pics and who isn't. Like the stock-photo abs aren't real, the biniki-clad girl on a Hawaiian beach probably isn't real either.

Two years ago when you were lying about your age? Or have you been blessed to remain 18 for the past two years?

Who would want to claim this mug?

That's what I was going to post lol. They'd have to be pretty stinkin' desperate to use my photo haha.

Hi everyone! New to fitness pal, good luck to all of you!

what i wonder most about pictures is the amount of selfies that are taken to show a good weight loss, is it too hard to ask someone to take your photo, its always a better picture when you dont have the camera in your hand.

1. I don't like posed photos
2. in the majority of my progress photos I lived on my own with no one to take the photos for me
3. why the **** would I bother with a camera timer or a tripod when I can take a selfie mirror photo that shows my progress just as well?


I don't understand your post

I agree a thousand percent

i guess you're dining with a psychopathic murderer then

I never actually thought about that. I suppose that could be the case, but I figured most people on here would either use a random image (flowers, scenery, animals, etc.) if they didn't want to show the real person. I never thought that people would use strangers and pretend to be them. Yea, I know it happens on dating sites or whatever....sure, it could happen here....but seems like a strange place to do that. That's just me, though. My photos are actually me - or caricatures of me. HAHA>

I think what perplexes me more is the fact that someone would be like AHA I do not believe that picture is real, I must scan it into the google machine and prove it and I won't stop until I get to to the bottom of it.....

I guess maybe I just don't care that much... I'm not here to date someone or marry someone so why do I care if you are Snoopy or Fabio or just yourself.

I've only just rejoined mfp after a streak of junk food eating and laziness, but I've never really thought of this before - I'll probably now be wary of everyone!

I rather have people know who I am than pretend to be someone else. I just joined this website so I can lose body fat, why would I want to hide who I am? I rather have people support me rather than judge me on my appearance.

We're here for support. I'm just thankful to have had have this amazing body I've always wanted/dreamed of by the time I was 18. When trying to take hold of one's image/weight, it is best to start early on.

I saw the original post, but no worries.

So you are now being honest when you say you are 18?

Yes I am . And it's ok, sorry. I did try other things before MFP, but it was literally the only thing that worked for me. I'm so lucky to have found it! It's amazing.
