    I'm going to post the same thing I do every time this topic comes up.

    CTRL+C, CTRL+V

    Whenever there's a thread like this, someone always says, "You can see progress just as much fully clothed."

    Really? I don't think I look much different in these two photos.

    But in a bikini? There's a difference.


    camo-suit-back-june-jan.jpg

    In addition to being damn proud that my *kitten* got 10 years younger-looking in seven months... If I'm going to be giving advice to others, shouldn't I have some amount of proof that I know wtf I'm talking about?

    i see a dresser and a cat in one of the pics not in the other ;)

    You always look awesome.

    If I could post naked pictures I would.

    And to the person who said we confused this site with a dating website....really? I post half naked pictures, so I am OBVIOUSLY looking for a date. Lame. :laugh:

    I have been on this site a few months now and I must say I have never seen so many people in so many states of undress in my life...

    Doesn't anyone else think this is strange????

    No. I would find it strange if there were not a lot of people showing skin on a fitness site. Look at any fitness magazine - the way they show results is to show skin. How is this different?

    Gosh - the peron who wrote the 8 reactions was so right.

    I am not a prude at all I just think it is strange - people that would not post a bikini shot on FB put nearly naked photos here - strange

    MFP is different than Facebook. I can't go to the real world, to my friends and family, to people that have known me forever and be like "Hey, I had to lose weight and here's my results."

    These are the same people who have been saying "don't worry about it! you look great! you don't need to lose weight!"

    People of MFP are more honest than that.

    No. I think it is strange when people around here have too much clothing on. Kinda like seeing people dressed at the nude beach. :tongue:
  • Don't people get tired of posting the same topics repeatedly? Use the search function and you will find this topic is old and tired.
    Let it die already.

    It's because everyone here is proud of their weightloss and everyone on Facebook would just make fun of you because facebook sucks.

    It's because there's a thread that starts with basically the same sentiment at least once a week, occasionally a couple of times a day. Threads life short lives before they get buried here.

    Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who DO learn from history are doomed to sit by helplessly while those who did not learn it repeat it.

    Seriously, the prude should see what I work out in.....and I strut around the locker room FULLY nude, just showered and freshly waxed. I bet you'd look to...prude.

    I find myself just looking at your current picture hoping it will magically animate and show the very scenario you have stated above will play out.....I know it is impossible but I might just stare longer....just in case it does! :P~

    Oh and seriously to the original poster.....How are things working out for you back there in the year 1865?

    Tasteful progress pictures I agree with. Showing nothing but a close up of your breasts, nope. That is not a progress picture. That's a woman who's not confident with herself and is trying to get attention from men with the only thing on her body that she finds has any worth. Ridiculous but at the same time I find it funny that women do that and it makes me shake my head. I feel sorry for them. With that being said, put them away, I'm completely uninterested in seeing them. Blech. Whorish.

    I find a dog as an avatar on a fitness site to be strange, but that's just me.

    They could all be nekkid as far as I am concerned. I have no issue with clothing or lack of it, each to their own.

    Not strange at all on a fitness site. I love seeing them all (clothed or not). Inspiration for me to keep going.

    Much better to see real people with real bodies that have worked incredibly hard to get fit. Than any airbrushed, photoshopped, over made up models/celebs in adverts, magazines and newspapers that I suspect you read as much as the rest of us.

    We are all naked anyway it is just clothes that make us all look different. :ohwell:

    ETA To the OP if you have "have never seen so many people in so many states of undress in my life" then you can't have gone to a beach or a swimming pool. Now that I do find strange.

    Because I dress like my profile pic every day, all day, to any and all functions, right? :huh: Don't be obtuse. THIS IS A FITNESS SITE. It's how you show progress. Don't like it? Gtfo.

    We as a society are far to prudish. I love love love going to the clothing optional beach here. We aren't really made to be clothed all the time IMO.

    If you wear tons of clothes and prefer to be modest, GO FOR IT! If you wanna show off your sexy body that you worked your booty off for, GO FOR IT. Let's just remember not be afraid of the human body, which is totally amazing in every way. Everyone has the right to do as they please. No judgement! It's a fitness site, we're here to support each other, not shame each other.

    She's uptight OR modest :mad: ??? Maybe she doesn't feel the need to show strangers her half naked body and maybe she doesn't have any interest in seeing other people posting their half naked bodies :mad: I've seen MANY tasteful photos showing before and after shots where the person is in a well fitting swim suit or bikini. There are ways to do it without spilling out of something or intentionally putting pasties on and calling it good.

    Agreed. People are too obsessed with covering up nature. I could turn this thread political, but I'll let the prudes get this one locked.

    What does HER being modest have to do with others wearing little to no clothing?
