    Because this site has has an upload image button. Besides, I think most people like to see who they are friends with on here. And you have privacy options on here, like facebook, if you don't want the whole site to see your face...

    I have nothing to hide and I am not self-impotant enough to think anyone is looking for me or cares that I watch what I eat.

    Besides, if they find me, are they not in the same place that they found me? Hmmmm....ponder that. :wink:

    I remember this issue from my racy photo days "OMG you posted a picture!!!" My reply; "OMG, You looked at it!"

    it doesnt matter who sees you on here as we are all here for the same reason. if you find someone that knows you on here it just may help the process and have another person to connect with and share a common goal. no need to hide who you are its time we enbrace who we are and share the road to happiness and healthy lives together

    Loving yourself is one of the keys to getting a handle on who YOU are. I mean yes, I want to lose weight and yes I need to lose weight, but I'm also confident that I'm beautiful regardless of what anyone else thinks. So POST THAT picture and shake off the insecurities. =) Everyone here should be in it for motivation and support, not to bring others down.

    I don't ever post photos of myself on the internet, except facebook, and never as a profile photo. I wouldn't do it on FB either except my family is far away.

    Its not a confidence or hiding issue. Some people just respect their privacy more than others.

    How is it more personal to show a headless photo, a myspace angle that is way more attractive than you are or a photo of your back muscles? I get it for people who like to show off but it's silly for those who say it's to connect better with their MFP friends.

    I didn't post a pic of myself for a long time because I was insecure about not being attractive but I finally decided what I look like is what I look like. If someone doesn't like what I look like, then don't look at my pic. I do change my profile pic pretty often but for now it's a picture of me again.

    So I can show off my progress (and baby belly!) to others working on the simmilar goals. I am proud of myself, why not post a picture?

    To remind me how far I have come and how far I still have to go.

    So my MFP friends can see who they are talking to.

    I always hated having my photo taken but now I am a complete attention wh*re I take photos of myself all the time, most are too personal to put on here but I am keeping a progress album. I also can't walk past a mirror now without going OMG I am actually doing this!!! :happy:

    I've only had 2 comments on my pictures since I began in April: both were very polite and complimentary. No flirting or hookups, just a genuine compliment. It made my day better to know that other people were nice enough to stop and send me a positive message.
