What's the story behind your profile picture?

My current picture is me on a raised headland overlooking the sea at Tankerton near Whitstable. It's around 9pm and the sun's just about to disappear. There's no lights along the sea front so the setting sun is the only illumination. After a sunny day during which I got pleasantly pink on the beach, we'd just been out for a very nice fish and chips meal (with wolf fish, a sustainable alternative to cod - highly recommended!) washed down with local cider and I'm feeling very chilled as it's my first holiday in three years!

    I love your profile pic even more now after reading the story behind it berry!! My profile pic is not near as exciting :) It is a pic of a a longtime bff and I getting ready to go to a Kenny Chesney/Billy Currington/Uncle Kracker concert. I left work early that day and my boss took the pic.

    Great job making sure you eat more sustainable types of fish! I really appreciate that in a person.

    My profile picture is with my cat Fruffy--at the time I'd just recently gotten him and wanted to take some photos with him
    since he was so brand new and exciting! And that day also I had just had my hair done and had felt like getting fancy that
    day so I was all dressed up--grabbed Fruffy in the kitchen and snapped a pic!

    Mp [ic was taken by me right after I got my hair cut. I was in love with the style, not to mention the fact that my face is slimming out, so I thought a new pic was in order. I found a blank wall, took a few shots and the result is what you see... I had a friend on here tell me my new pic makes me look like Kylie Minogue... Not sure I agree though... lol :)

    There's no real story. Folks on MFP had been wanting to see what I look like for a very long time but I feared porn hackers so I was hesitant to post. <G>

    I do not have any pictures of myself that are very good to use as a profile pic. Never have. I have a little red key on my keyboard that says panic. It was put there as a sort of office joke. When I saw the picture of the relax key I had to have it. It is sort of my yin and yang.

    My pic is in my bathroom after getting ready for a Josh Turner concert. I liked it because my face doesn't look as fat as in some of my other pics :)

    Mine is of me at two different points in my life the one on the left was taken at Dunn's Falls Jamaica in Sept 2010 at 248 pounds the other is of me taken on Saturday 11 Jun at 185 pounds, Just something to show my progress so far. I still have another 25-35 pounds that I want to lose and hope to lose that by Jan 24 2012.

    Mine is of me one night, sitting in front of the laptop bored crazy. And I felt pretty at the time (which is usually when I take a pic). :smile: Then I messed with it to make it black and white just because I like it.

    Mine is at my best friend's wedding in October- I didn't realize how much I had been avoiding full length pictures and this was the closest I had to document my progress--I don't have enough guts to do the swimsuit comparison shots that a lot of people do!!

    My picture is from when I was in Iraq. We walked past this sign every single weekend going to get pizza on our day off. So one day I happened to have my camera with me and had my buddy take my picture with it. :)

    Mine is a nice day out with my two boys ..... my daughter was on a school residential trip and my son was missing her so we went to the local animal centre to make one less day he had to wait for her return.

    I have also (for 2011) started 'Project 365' which is taking a photo every day of the year so you can look back at what you did. This was my 365 photo for the day and I decided it was so lovely I needed to show the world!
