    My profile picture is an avatar simply because I just made it today and it's kind of neat... Sometimes it's whatever picture of me I like and is semi-recent. I have a picture of myself when I was thin, to motivate, and also a picture of myself in my bathing suit to give in accurate representation of myself. I like to have the variety. I'm not concerned about what other people think of my pictures... I like to assume everyone on this site is here for the right reasons!

    Mine's from 10 pounds down (I don't have pictures of me at my heaviest where I'm not obstructed by something larger than me). I've taken pictures of myself to check progress, and am saving the dress for follow-up pictures.)

    I post pictures but don't use it as my avatar. I like to see the progress but not to see myself whenever I log in or post. I hate having my picture taken so me as my avatar :sick:

    My MFP picture is probably the best picture that's ever been taken of me. It's not so much for motivation, it's just my favorite picture for representing myself.

    I just try to keep up recent pictures. If you look at all of my pics, there are some really bad, chubby guy pics to reference.

    Fat or thin I am probably one of the most unphotogenic people. I picked a fairly recent picture that wasn't god awful. I thought it was important to show a picture of myself especially since I'd like to make friends. I want them to know I'm for real and to have an image to associate with. I was very nervous about posting a picture because of my previous experiences with blogger and work associates, but this is for me so...oh well. :)

    Mine is totally for motivation, to remind me of how it was at my goal weight. I see what I used to look like both at my heaviest and my most fit. I can't wait to be back at my goal weight!

    My picture is simply me...being me and full of pure joy! I use it, not because it represents me physically so much, but because it shows my true person. :heart: (It was taken post-partum about 6 months ago).

    My pic was the most recent at the time I joined. I thought it wasn't too bad. I will probably change it up later.

    My own picture is from a few years ago, and i've put on weight since. I have many more photos which look much worse i could use to motivate myself.

    In the end i simply added a pic to give MFP a more personal feeling to it. :)

    I usually use pics of me with my family. My son, daughter or husband or all if I have one because that's what motivates me.

    Mine are of my latest achievement. This one is of our dragon boat race from yesterday. My previous one was from my first time kayaking. The sporty ones of me remind me how far I have come

    Mine is my most recent pic where I felt great! It is also from when I did my most recent mini traithlon, so it def motivates me. I will change it when I lose another 5 then again at goal...

    I :heart: this question. I really enjoy reading peoples' responses. :smile:

    My picture is semi-recent... it's from last month I think. I use it because it was a really happy day for me. I was wearing a size 10 skirt for the first time in many years, and that's what I'm smiling about. It's a reminder of how far I've come. :heart:

    May I ask how tall you are? We're on the same track for weight loss, and while my belly is flatter than it was when I began, it's not nearly as awesome as yours looks!

    I just like my current pic as it is from a recent dress up party.

    This will probably be confusing but just check my pics if you don't understand :P My previous pic was me dressed up as an avatar haha
