So many people - so little clothing

And that's another thing... people aren't allowed to show the amazing results they've achieved using this website, so other people can goof off at work without getting caught. :ohwell:0

I'm not quite ready to show you my tummy - not quite!0

I agree. I am all for showing off your results and sexy abs you worked so hard to get and all that, but the ones who think they're being sexy, just because...That's what I have a problem with personally. Some pictures are friggin' borderline porn.0
-
Yup! worked 2 years for this body and YES I will be showing off the bod! Im not naked. This is how I would be at a public beach.. Like most people said "especially for people building muscles" you cant see those prize packages underneath clothing. I celebrate with everyone regardless if they are half-naked or not. Hopefully you can understand from our standpoint

What may seem strange to those [of us] who joined recently is that people who clearly have not a spare ounce of flesh to give, sell or barter away are posting on a weight-loss orientated site, whether or not semi-naked.
Now, they may have started looking like Michelin-man (is there a Michelin-woman? - and if not is this discrimination?) - should we demand evidence?
So, I'm with 'strange' - not necessarily that they are posting in lingerie so much as that they are posting at all.
As for 'modesty', what can I say - If someone finds excess pulchritudinous overflow inappropriate then leave them their opinion without bullying. It IS supposed be a supportive community.
Anyway,I have so much to be modest about so I could not possibly comment further.
However, if the same people continue to post updates months after reverting to a weight-maintenance calorie intake, the results might be somewhat entertaining.0 -

Forgive me for being blunt, but this site is MyFITNESSPal, not MyFATNESSPal. People are here for a variety of reasons, and while weight loss is probably the biggest reason, it's not the only one. It's not strictly a weight loss site.
As for myself, I came here wanting to drop ~25 pounds and become fit enough to run the Warrior Dash. I did that in 6 months. I've been here more than a year and a half now. Why? Because it's not "over" when you reach your goal. Because I'm still learning. And who did and do I learn the most from? The people who've reached their goals.
If everyone who's lost the weight they wanted to lose is booted off the site like a member of the boy band Menudo when he reached 16, this site would be... well, kind of a case of the inmates running the asylum. A whole bunch of people telling each other 800 calories a day is fine and that dumbbells that weigh less than a Big Gulp are all you need.
I'm not saying I'm any kind of fitness expert. Everything I've achieved has been through trial and error. But without listening to the advice of the fine shirtless men and bikini clad women who came before me, I'd very likely have had a lot more error than trial, and have quit before reaching my goal just like I did every other time I tried to lose weight. I like to think I've picked up quite a bit of knowledge in the past ~630 days of using this site, and I'd like to share that knowledge with others.0 -
I started at 250 pounds with a 40.5 inch waist.......
90 pounds later, bet your *kitten* I'mma show my tummy! :laugh:
You go girl!! I cant wait to be where you are!!0 -

I have some spare flesh, but I'm working on vanity weight, and I plan to stay here once I have no more flesh to spare. Because it's interesting, I like a lot of the people, those on my friends list are important to me, and health/fitness are hobbies for me. I don't have anyone in real life who would be interested in talking about these things with me as much as I can on here. Hopefully, sticking around will also help me maintain.
And I agree with Lorinna about the work issue: people can't police themselves based on what will get you in trouble. I never log into MFP at work-not because I'm a saint, but because I don't want my job involved in my offwork interests.0 -
I can take off my hat ;-}0

^^^THIS
The photos give me hope and encourage me on days when I am feeling low. YOU DON"T HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM!
I thank everyone who shows that it is possible with hard work and dedication - the real people losing weight and gaining fitness - as opposed to some model in a magazine.
When I get to my goal size I hope to be able to post pictures and stay on the site to remain motivated and help others :happy:
PS LorinaLynn I LOVE your pics - so inspiring :flowerforyou:0 -
This thread is new and exciting.0

It's because our main goal here is to look good naked.0

I need to "prove I used to be fat" to be allowed to post here?
I was never fat, thanks.
But I was out of breath and soft.
Now I am a beast. :devil:
On day 918 of straight logging and currently gaining weight on purpose (OMG a woman is BULKING! Stop the press!) so I guess I don't belong here and have to leave now just because I never allowed myself to get fat in the first place....0 -
And that's another thing... people aren't allowed to show the amazing results they've achieved using this website, so other people can goof off at work without getting caught. :ohwell:
If this SNARK is directed at my comment darling have a seat
Post half naked pics for attn if you want. Unless you are sitting behind me at work you've no reason to say or know if i'm slacking off. I simply stated why i avoid the i want to show the world my cooch posts when i'm in a position that viewing such would be considered inappropriate.
Never did i say they are NOT allowed to post their lil baby porn all they wanted to.

I'm just saying that if a random inappropriate photo on a website with user-generated content was enough to make me lose my job, I would not view ANY site with use-generated content at work.0 -
We're the only species that wears clothes and the only species to be modest about our natural form.
Clothes are over rated.

^^^^^ THIS! To add to that, with my job if ANYONE is offended for ANY reason over a picture they see as they walk by my desk as I'm online during lunch or break I will end up hauled into the HR office. It happens often to ppl where I work. Some ppl are actually offended and others are just trying to stir up crap. Either way, on a fitness site there's no reason not to keep it tasteful. There's no reason to expect to see women promoting their breasts, or just their upper thighs stopping just short of... or a man pulling his pants down infront to his hair line and sometimes below it when you are on a fitness site.
And to the woman who was being snarky (for lack of a better word) no one said they had an issue with your pictures. There are MANY ppl on this site who post their pictures for the wrong reason and they are often distasteful and belong on a dating site or private text at best.0 -
and here we go again...
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
^^^LOVE this. and I would be of the #2 attitude0 -
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...
Haven't been around the Internet much?0 -

Sorry but you shouldn't be using work computers for personal things. If you do and you get popped, that's on YOU.0 -
It's not surprising with this being a site promoting fitness, BUT I do hope everyone realizes the internet isn't as private as many people think! I don't post anything I wouldn't be okay with my grandparents or future employers seeing.0

Well put Sizzle! Personally I have yet to see pics on here that are distasteful. If you'd wear it to the beach then there is nothing wrong with putting it on here!0 -
*pretends to agree while i'm insecure and overweight*
*loses weight and is in a bikini...bites tongue*
hahah, if I said I agree, I'd just be a jealous beeotch. people show their progress and so they should, its a fitness page.
when i'm at my goal i'll be right along side of em'...look out
I'm exactly the same :happy: once I lose the weight I'm gonna be so pround and want to show others and prove to them that they can do it to!0 -
It's because our main goal here is to look good naked.
I would think most MFP peep's main goal here is to be strong and healthy. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting to look good naked (I wish I did.lol. Who knows, maybe some day I will)0 -
I have every intention of looking thinner and more toned. And when I do there will be pictures of it. And they'll be pictures I would willingly show my mother.
Of course, I'm not exactly tied up in prudish scruples about the naked body.0 -

but, somewhere in this post, you did mention not wanting to get fired over those types of pics, right? So, would that not mean it would have to be at work or a work computer for you to get fired over? Sincerely just curious....0 -
Please explain the difference between underwear and a bikini.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.
there's not much of a difference and some bikinis actually offer less coverage than underwear would, especially competition suits....0 -
I never did get an answer from the lady. She resorted to calling me Mr. Tank Top as her comeback.
