Vanity avatars

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

I don't find it motivating to see those pics because I'm not going to look like that. My stomach isn't going to be flat or show my muscles no matter how much I lose or work out; FACT. You want to have your sleek midriff as your avatar, that's great, but it makes me feel like a bigger cow and I get petty and jealous.

so, sincerely just curious here, we should all remove our progress pictures so others don't get jealous, because that's not the look they are going for?

Post all you want. I don't go profile creeping. I'm just saying how I feel. I don't send messages and rant about how you have what I want and can't have. The person I quoted asked how people wouldn't find these pics motivating and I answered. Sorry I'm one of the few who doesn't find it motivating.

Why wouldn't you get like that no matter how much you worked out or how much weight you lose? That's a really *kitten* attitude. You're stopping yourself because you've failed before you've even tried.

Genetics are a b!tch.

Scientist actually have proven that genes only make up 12% of our body composition...lol

Oh lord. I am not writing a freakin medical journal. This is a public forum on the internet. If you want to know if it's true, look it up for yourself!!!

I expect it on my desk by tommorrow.

I don't take orders from abdominal muscles!!! How DARE you have a profile picture like that? You're making all the people that don't want to work for it feel bad about themselves. Stop that, you.

I wanted to post a crotch shot, but I was afraid that people would think I was bragging about having a vagina. "Hey! Look at me! I have a vagina!"

I have a vagina, however, this is still offensive. Are you trying to say that yours looks better than mine? :laugh:

Yes. Yes, I am. It's the loveliest vagina EVER!

If you need an objective, unbiased opinion, I would volunteer mine happily. :bigsmile:

Chris, you would volunteer your vagina? Or did I read that wrong? ::bigsmile::

If I had a vagina I'd be busy with that instead of on MFP forums right now :laugh:

I fell for this last time and switched my avatar to a picture of me in a bikini!
Not falling for it this time. Nice try, though

I think it's great that people feel comfortable enough to post pictures of any kind of body showing. I don't think it's to rub it in people's faces though.

I more see it as "I did this to my body, you can too!" or a progress shot. I see a lot of "skinny" midrifs as well as "not-so-skinny" midrifs. I think both are fine. These people are being open and honest about what they look like, not trying to hid it. I've been thinking about it too, and I have a chubby midrif, not one that screams "nanananananananaNA!" When I see them, I view them as motivation. Or I can easier relate, 'oh, they have some chub too, I'm not alone'.

I think it matters how YOU VIEW/REACT to these avatars.

Quoting to save these for later, because I'm sure there will be plenty of chances to use them.
