    My profile picture is who I am no make up, faults and all. Plus, I don't like pictures of my self, so this is the most recent I could find.

    probably. I'm holding a beer, so I'm sure some people make assumptions about me based on that alone.

    I chose it b/c it's the most recent pic of me at a 311 concert...and I :heart: 311! :drinker:

    The funny thing with my profile pic is that I just found it on my cell phone that I saved a long long time ago. And, I just laugh everytime that I see it. My Pic has been blank for quite some time though

    Hopefully it makes other's laugh as well. No rotations yet

    I LOVE you profile pic! I first saw this a few years ago and I opened it up everytime I felt down... It never failed to make me giggle :)

    I notice my friends change their profile pics. So I joined the trend and changed to a photo that is NOT of me but rather something I like.

    Mine is me and my son. I gave up alot to get him healthy as he had lots of medical issues when he was born.

    I gave up a full time job, worked nights (after staying home for almost a year), my body was wrecked from being a "nurse" to him 24/7. I was also in fabulous shape too before him.

    Since I worked soo hard to get him healthy, my body took the toll.

    Now it's my turn to get healthy. So, I have his picture there to remind myself everyday, that life is short, things happen we don't expect. You put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

    Oh - as for my profile pic? It makes me feel good... As does the dress when I put it on :) However, its an amazingly flattering dress and a flattering pose so I think its a bit of false confidence really... I keep telling myself that when I'm tempted to start eating atuff I shouldn't have!

    I finally put some pics of me up because I got tired of people asking me what I really look like. Before I had my dog and a place I went to in Key West as my PP. I guess people enjoy putting a face to the smart *kitten* comments. :laugh:

    I change my profile pic to reflect my progress. I'd say yes and no. People who aren't on my FL seem to think that I look like I do in my profile pic ALL the time. They don't realize that's how I look MAYBE 1% of the time, seriously. My friends here know there's a real personality behind the profile pic and that I'm just a regular girl next-door, actually.

    I'm not normally into airplanes but this one is pretty cool! And I was on vacation and having a blast. It looks like I'm holding it up in the picture.

    I change my pics to reflect my mood, or for fun, or sometimes for theme days or to show progress (or current lack of) but different pics definitely do elicit different reactions from people, and esp in the kinds of FR's I get. I tend to prefer body shots.

    THIS, and I finally had a more recent picture that I didn't hate. I'm usually the person taking the pictures, so I'm rarely in them, and haven't gotten into the 'self pics in the bathroom mirror' trend yet'....

    I don't know if it changes people's perception of me or not, but I used to have a Nike runner ad up with a black lady and some of my friends didn't notice the text on the ad and were surprised I was white when I finally put a real one up :laugh:

    I don't know what other peoples thoughts are, but I think mine may frighten people away.
