    If you don't like the negative attention, switch to progress pictures with more clothes on. Like a pair of workout capris and a tank top, or something.

    I've got a large chest, too, so I have to be very careful about what I wear in public, and especially what kind of pictures I post. I posted my progress pictures fully clothed, and you can still totally see a difference.

    Good luck!

    If you go to "settings" you can change your privacy levels.
    (OK, so two others got in there first while I was posting!)

    cecrawfo and otr12-- Are you two serious!!!!!???? She is a girl who is making a serious effort to get healthy and she is looking sexy in the process! There is absolutely nothing wrong with her wanting to show it off!!!! Heck, if it were me, I'd do the exact same thing!

    kater8er, don't you listen to these guys or those creeps, you are looking good, your worked hard for it and you should be damned proud of yourself! You aren't posting nude pics or anything inappropriate. I'll bet you they are all just jealous of you (I know I sure am lol)

    Don't delete your pics and report them immediately. They are trolling you and they need to get booted off MFP before they discourage someone else from their journey. I tell you what if someone made nasty comments about my progress pics ON MY OWN profile I would report them in a heartbeat!!!

    Wow some harsh comments. Maybe make your profile pic different and only post your progress pics in your album? Just a thought. Or try doing progress pics in a sports bra and shorts. I do bikini ones too but I won't post them here. I save them in a folder and review. I'm sorry guys are doing that to you but I can't say that I'm surprised. You'll have to change your settings to private in order to keep your profile private. Hope this helps!

    I think there is a block feature that you can click on a person's profile, if I recall correctly...And, I apologize for the inappropriate messages and the snide remarks. Be proud! You deserve it!

    No one is saying that it's right. What they are saying is that it shouldn't be a surprise. This is how the world is.

    as NICELY as I can say, I would suggest wearing some type of clothes for your shots... it IS possible to flaunt your losses WITH clothes on! as a matter of fact.. I can BEST see MY progress with sweats and a tanktop... the same exact outfit each time helps the most.

    EDIT TO ADD:: I also think you look excellent! & I would most likely do the same that you are & i also believe that there are PERVS on here... i believe i saw a scrren name about big girl lovin or somethin like that & it was a man! Just like any other site, facebook or myspace or this... theres people that arent on here for the right reasons...

    Wow, really surprised by the comments. Who cares how she's dressed, that doesn't mean she deserves to be treated with less respect than anyone else on this site. I think if you go to settings and then profile privacy settings you can make your profile completely private and only open to your friends. You don't deserve to be treated like that and neither does anyone else.

    I agree!

    Thank you for the positive comments! I did figure out how to change my profile to private--thank you very much to the user who directed me on how to do that!

    My outfit isn't a bra--it's a bikini, have you ever heard of the mismatch kind? I'm deliberately taking it in the same bikini so I can see how different I look in it. And to the person who said "why can't a friend take it"--I'm trying to be discreet about my weight loss in the "real world"--I don't like talking about it with friends and family. So my MFP peeps are the only people who hear about it!

    This is a bathing suit. It's called a bikini.
    I thought it was a bra too. I understand that larger breasts require underwire bikinis. Try throwing a sports bra over it. I know it's lame but it will make it look a little less suggestive. Another option is to make it a full length angled shot. It's sad that it is necessary to make adjustments to profile pics in order to not be harrassed but it often is. The internet give people a sense of anonymity which some people use inappropriately.
    It is possible to block people from sending you messages once they do, but I don't know of a way to prevent them in the first place.

    I also have progress photos, but I'm not in my underwear or a lacey bra, I'm in workout clothes and you can still (easily) see the progress ...

    Exactly!

    And you look amazing BTW!

    You're standing there in your underwear with your boobs perfectly centered in the shot.

    You catch what you bait for.

    Yup. Not sure how you expect any other response....


    Can't agree more. You can wear something more appropriate, even a bathing suit, but still...I couldn't have said it better myself.

    You are inappropriately dressed and it just BEGS for attention...the wrong kind of attention. There are other ways to showcase your weight loss and achievements that are more appropriate. You can be sexy and classy too. Also, maybe don't friend guys.

    Bah. I've seen much more revealing pics on this website from both men and women. A lot of these comments sound as bad as, "she was wearing a miniskirt so she was obviously asking for it." You can report harassment if the comments are way out of line and I'd encourage you to do this if they continue to harass you after you tell them their comments are inappropriate. However, this being the internet, you will get comments if you look good in something revealing but there is a line and the people sending you messages should be made aware if they crossed it.

    My Home - Settings - Your Profile Privacy Settings - Friends ONLY

    And done

    And for all you people saying that she deserves it...seriously? How about people treat others with a modicum of respect and NOT send nastygrams to eachother. What, men just can't help it? BS unless you're mentally challenged and LITERALLY have no self-control.

    Some guys are pigs. Sorry that they can't all be more like me. Congratulations on the results of your hard work. And really?! Some of these comments are sounding suspiciously like blaming a woman who got raped because of how she was dressed. I had hoped for better, but am not really surprised.

    There is inappropriate messaging going on? For a picture of chesticles in a bikini? The nerve of some people... bikini shots were meant for ogling. Not messaging.

    Just have your profile open to friends only or block user when they send a message.

    Sorry hon. . much agreed. . . I know plenty of women on here that show progress pictures that are not in their underwear. .. It is all up to you what you want to put out there. . Just know that you are going to get that if you present yourself that way. .

    What is wrong with a swimsuit. . . . or fitness bra and exercise attire. .. Biggest loser funny thing. . You can see major progress in all the contestants and not a one of them. . put on a swimsuit much less lingerie. . .Just a though. .

    :flowerforyou: You look great - but as you've figured out, looking that great comes w/ the burden of attracting unwanted attention and comments from Creepers.

    But I don't think you need to cover yourself - just delete the messages from Creepers.

    You can block users once the message has been sent. So far as I can tell, there is no way to report them based on a message, although it seems there should be. If it is too bad, I would find a way to contact the site. I would also consider posting pictures on an offsite place and sharing the links with my friends.

    Wow- not so sure that all that sniping was neccessary. All I can add is that you should be proud, you should post pictures, and you will just need to get used to ignoring the attention. If being thin is a new sensation to you, then you really will need to get used to the attention, as it will happen online and in the real world. In both worlds you will learn to ignore/delete :) And congrats, you look great.

    AGREED!! I don't think anyone has a right to send rude or suggestive messages to someone just because they took a picture in a bikini or bra eitehr way they are just about the same size. (That is called sexual harrassment in case anyone was wondering) I think you can block specific users and if the attention still bothers you, you could just post your body shot updates on your profile but make your profile picture something that doesn't attract as much attention. But no matter what you decide to do it is completely YOUR DECISION!

    Good luck to you!
