    OP.....If you post a picture of your body, I will post a picture of my face. Seems like a fair trade.

    I have nothing wrong with my face, (I happen to like it), I just really like my back, so I want to show it off


    my face doesnt have as many muscles that show as my arm,back do .:)

    some people like the privacy. Some are more fond of their shape than their face.

    I'm still working on my face, but have made great progress with my body. Maybe I'll post a success story when I reach my goal face.

    Very funny. Hilarious, in fact.

    Ive asked the same thing. Could be lack of confidence in facial aesthetics
    I usually don't show my face and yep this is pretty much why. That and it's not like I can post body shots up on other sites and not get ridiculed for it. It's about the only place I can show progress and get congratulated and not shunned for it and right now my body is about the only thing I like, I hate my face.

    That and you know, some people are really proud of what they've done to say their thighs or *kitten* or arms or waist and they like showing it. You can't really be all look at how strong I've made my forehead etc.

    @OP - My first profile pic was a face shot, like a passport. As I started to shed the pounds, I realized that this is fitness site, and is the best place to share progress pics of my body.

    Fitness site = show off FITNESS results

    Facebook = show off FACE (And trust me, it's not a bad one.)

    Also...like others said, it's a matter of professional and personal privacy.

    Professional reasons if you have work colleagues on MFP. Remember one can be searched by email address as well.

    Lol, I have one! I don't know if it's visible outside my friends list though?

    It's okay. I'm not afraid to ask why. I generally learn new things this way. It's pretty cool actually, you should try it sometime.

    So lots of privacy reasons here which I totally get. I don't think I was very clear in the way I asked the question originally. What I meant to ask was why do people post ONLY photos of body shots. Like 20 photos of the same ab angle and nothing else. No progression pictures, just the same repetitive picture. Either way it's asked, that question has been sufficiently answered now!

    To those saying you don't like to show your face... I guess I can understand. Some people don't like to show their body so what's the difference right. But hopefully you will come around and let us all enjoy you completely :)

    Also, something I hadn't thought about is that some people probably only use the MFP mobile app (I use it on both, mostly desktop) and I wonder if you can even upload more than one photo.

    And yes, I did have a cropped head in my photo before the one I have now but I changed it because I realized it would be ironic posting this without a face. One person caught me :P damnit! you're quick! lol But again, I reiterate, I was simply referring to the collection of all the photos in an album, not just the display.

    It's easy to be proud of your accomplishments and hard work. Sometimes it comes out as a lot of selfies that look a little vain.

    I don't think it should matter what their profile picture is... :) each to their own.

    I have plenty of face pics and body pics but I prefer to privatize those hence the private profile :)

    I coach girls volleyball and I would prefer them not find me on here.

    @Jezebel...Just point and I'll take care of him/her! That's rude.

    @OP...to answer question, I've lost a ton of fat and am at point of where I am comfortable to show my body. Besides, I have a very demanding friend's list that prefers not to look at my face.

    I'm not that person...but I think it's safe to assume that this is ...fitness...site. Hence my "fitness" pal...so they are showing off their bodies.
