    I've seen much worse on this site.

    However, I personally stick to the mantra of "If I wouldn't want my father looking at this photo, I'm not posting it online"

    It's a swim suit. Go to any beach. Not offensive at all. In fact, you look outstanding in it!

    Just to add to this discussion.. the t and c say the following:


    12. No Profane, Vulgar, Sexually Explicit or Illegal Images

    All images on the site, including all profile pictures and images posted in the forums, should be work-place friendly. While we reserve the right to remove any photo we feel is inappropriate, here are some partial guidelines as to what is not acceptable:

    - no nudity
    - no underwear, thongs, g-strings, or banana hammocks
    - no pants or shorts worn mid-hip or below (no saggers)
    - no photos in which hands or objects are the only bodily covering
    - no excessive cleavage (if you would wear it to work, it’s probably OK)
    - no close-up shots of cleavage, butt, breasts or crotch in any state of dress
    - no hateful or violent imagery
    - no images containing profanity

    If you are photographing yourself to demonstrate successful weight loss, tight fitting spandex is a great way to show the change in your shape, while still abiding by these guidelines. Photos altered to present inaccurate weight-loss results are prohibited. Please keep the experience at MyFitnessPal encouraging by keeping your "success" photos authentic.


    I am not saying your image is profane, but you got some killer cleavage going there (I am jelly!) so that is probably why. Sorry for you

    Frankly, I can appreciate your effort in achieving your weight loss but I don't need bikini pics (or similar shots from the guys) and I understand the MFP policy... I can demonstrate my own weight loss with a sun dress, shorts, skinny jeans and a camisole etc. I think they are trying to emphasize that this is a weight loss site and not one for showing "cheesecake photos".

    Also, as you may have seen on FB, frequently "escort service" chicks frequently develop fake "profiles" to drum up business. LOL. I am definitely not implying that you fall into this category, so please take no offense.

    Don't you feel you have any other clothing that shows your weight loss? I mean, do you parade around town in your bikini all day long so folks can see your weight loss? Doubtful... But you aren't alone, I have seen lots of inappropriate pics from folks that imagine we all share some ridiculous desire to see "beach wear".

    Flaunt your new, hard earned body at a pool, lake or beach. Even a shot on a boat might put it more in context. Just my thoughts...:yawn:

    ....
    Anybody want to clarify? I'd appreciate it because I don't want to break any terms or conditions or services or whatnot. Does my profile picture look like I am in underwear? Maybe this was a mistake.
    ...

    FYI (this info is pinned at the beginning of every section):

    11. No Airing of Grievances With Moderators

    a) Protesting a moderator or admin action is not allowed on the Forums or in Groups. If you have a question or concern about a moderator or admin action, please email one of the moderators or Steven, an MFP staff member, with your concern and we will investigate the matter promptly.
    b) If you have concerns about another poster, or wish to report a guideline violation, the only appropriate venue is to use the Report Post link or to message a moderator or Steven, an MFP staff member. You may not air such concerns on the message boards themselves. If you have a general concern that does not involve a specific member, you may post your question in the Feedback or Help forums.
    c) Threats made to moderators will not be tolerated, and will result in an immediate ban from the site.

    It's because you have actual breasts. I think i may have to get my flat-chested photo of me in a bikini-top and see what happens. I might just get called out for being too pale.

    I think the guidelines you may be violating would fall under:

    (if you would wear it to work, it’s probably OK) *******(Where do you work as a lifeguard, probably not! )

    - no close-up shots of cleavage, butt, breasts or crotch in any state of dress *****(Unless I am mistaken, your blue bikini top falls under the category of "no close-up shots of cleavage, butt, breasts or crotch in any state of dress".

    Seriously, you are being discriminated against for your naturally large breasts. IF another woman who was muscular, small breasts, wearing a baseball cap with her bikini posted a pic no one would think twice about it.

    This is serious bullsh!t.

    I'd have to disagree. How can it be close up if it shows from her lower thighs to over her head in the photo. It's just because her boobs are larger, which she cannot help. That incredibly fair to women who were born that way when women who re much smaller chested don't get hassled about this.

    Either both of you just happened to make your first ever forum post in this thread....

    ...or, you both just violated the ToS by creating a second profile.

    ETA: If it's the former, then welcome to MFP!

    ...and if it's the latter, ommmmmmm, I'm telling! (Well, I mean, I would, if I was that kind of person...which I'm not...not currently, at least...)
