    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????

    Not at all I think you are just uptight..

    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.
    Please explain the difference between underwear and a bikini.

    oh damn... I didn't realize it was MFP - modest fitness pal.

    *looking around for a tshirt to cover my mommy belly*

    :-D

    I like all the muscles. It's so nice to see people on their way to a healthier, fitter them. People who are bettering themselves, pushing themselves, and inevitably helping out the economy by saving themselves from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.

    Although, the fitter I get, the richer my massage therapist and physiotherapist seem to get... hmmm

    In any event... I like the lack of clothes.

    OP didn't actually make any judgments on anyone. She said she's been here a few months and found it a little strange. If she's not used to hanging out with fitness types, she has to adjust to the culture. All I got from her post was confusion and curiosity, not modesty or prudishness.

    I do love many of the pictures though. There are some truly beautiful bodies here and it's so obvious how much work people put into them. It's inspiring and motivating. Whenever I think of my goal arms, there's actually a certain user's biceps that also flash in my brain now. (Making me a bit of a creeper I guess.)

    Please explain why it isn't acceptable to wear your underwear to the beach/pool/lake/out on the streets/to work etc...... and you've answered your own question. Underwear it UNDERwear not outerwear.

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

    I may be wrong (I don't know her) but can only assume that she would not find it strange if she weren't somewhat modest. My point was being modest doesn't make one uptight. Uhhhh, her thinking it was strange was her original post :huh:

    If you're talking about those who take pictures of themselves in sports bras/bathing suits and short shorts, it's often just to show their progress in losing weight. Most aren't trying to be provocative or anything.

    I started at 250 pounds with a 40.5 inch waist.......

    90 pounds later, bet your *kitten* I'mma show my tummy! :laugh:

    Fantastic job!...and I like what you're wearing to show your progress.

    I fully understand why people want to show off the body they worked so hard for. I just don't understand why folks want to do it in their panties and bras, simply because it is the net and there are some weirdos out there. BUT to each his/her own and if someone is comfortable doing it then who am I to say anything. I'll admire their progress and give props.

    Actually, the first time I went to a gym in the UK I was shocked that *everyone* did this! I felt like such a ridiculous, prude American! :)

    "Modesty" is a subjective term USUALLY used by religious "morality" types (you know, the kind that don't like things that make them uncomfortable).

    Didn't realize you came out of the womb in a full parka. Guess being in underwear is pretty unnatural, right? So strange to be wearing synthetic or woven materials that have only existed the last few thousand years.

    You are naked under the clothes; the clothes are just a front.

    People are different, don't knock someone for wanting to share their achievements. I personally think we should have a "completely naked" section :happy:
    ^^^^^^^THIS!^^^^^^^
    I say, if you've got it, flaunt it!

    I think the body is beautiful, and I find the tasteful pictures inspiring! Nothing wrong with showing off some hard-earned progress. I only go "EEEwwww" at the pics that look like someone is about to masterb--- in!

    Actually, I can't lie. The first time I witnessed this in a REAL gym where there were steam rooms, showers and hot tub IN the locker room, EVERYONE was naked, and I wasn't shocked, but I was like OH MYYYYYYY that's not cute! but MORE POWER to you!!! Sitting naked in the hot tubs, steam rooms, walking all around bush out and all. Like I said, I wasn't shocked, but I was like....OH...well, I look WAYYYYYYYY better than that, so I can do it too! It gave me confidence actually! I switched to a different gym, which isn't as open in the locker room. I am the only one that openly walks around completely naked. I brush my teeth, do my hair and make up in the mirror completely naked. I've had women say they wish they had my confidence and self esteem. It isn't about being trashy or whoring....or looking for a date (on here) :huh: either....it is about having the confidence to be yourself in your own skin.

    Yeah, I think the most shocking part for me was the unattractive people who were so at ease with themselves. It's something you really don't see too often here and I would love my kids to grow up confident and healthy and proud of eir bodies! Therefore I'm doing me best to be that way too.

    IDGAF if people wear their underwear outdoors, so again, please explain how they are any different. Either way, it's the first piece of clothing over your skin and for the most part, underwear covers more.

    let me sum up the responses up are about to get...
    1) PRUDE
    2) I earned this body I will show it off if I want to
    3) I agree...hussies, every last one
    4) hookers and blow
    5) more nekkid pics please
    6) Waaaaaaa! why is everyone attacking me
    7) locked thread

    Totally off topic
    >

    Why is it that EVERY single time someone mentions "Hookers and Blow" for ANY reason, I collapse into a chubby pile of giggles? For some reason, I find that phrase HILARIOUS! Thanks, I needed a giggle fit. :flowerforyou:
