At first it didn't bother me that some folks choose not to post a photo of themselves, but now that I am mingling with so many of you it's starting to bother me, You know when you think of something somebody said you want to have an image of that person in your head, for example; I was thinking of a post today and I thought; Man that piece of toast was right! or Wow that salad sure knew what he was talking about! or Yeah, that dog must be new.. come on.. if you can stand looking at me.. I can stand looking at you.. : )

    Ha, ha so true. But maybe they just don't have any pics or haven't had a chance to post any yet. Mine was blank for a while. I try to give people benefit of the doubt. This is a website dedicated to losing weight/healthy living so no one should feel ashamed of how they look!

    Its also the internet and a lot of people try to keep their identity hidden more, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    I do identify pics with people to an extent, but I know I have to have a name - even if its just a screenname - with that pic cause the pics change. That really throws you off...

    I like smiling faces, too. Or parents holding each other. Or parents holding babies--or one "child" and their grandchild. ;)
    Have fun mingling with all the health-conscious folks here. :drinker: (drink lots of water!)

    My reason is pretty much the internet one. Don't know who is looking and don't want some to see:) Thought about a before/after picture but haven't for the same reason.

    or you could work for the dear govt who screens sites for employee activity & remarks...and no, not using a work computer. they do troll and you are advised when you are going thru your acceptance processing. sorry folks.

    Hi!
    I just wanted to respond so you can see my cute self...no, I don't usually refer to myself as that.:happy:
    I love looking a peoples pics too but understand not everyone's comfortable with that, or maybe they don't have a teenager in the house (like I do) to help them figure out how.

    Maybe everyone's goal could be to post a pic by the time they are halfway to their goal.

    Have a great night!

    So you're saying some folks who hide their image might be guilty of some punishable crime?

    I really don't care what pic people have. I know when some people gain....they don't like having their pic taken.
    If people need support to lose weight ....pic or not I'm here to support them : ) I love the support I get on this site.
    We talk to people on the phone...without knowing what they look like : )

    ok, you're new here obviously. it is a wonderful, free site with valuable resources and you waste a post because your prurient curiosity compels you to see everyone on the site? seriously, i value my friends for their posts, their ups and downs, victories, setbacks. in other words, real life. if some people want avatars, it's fine. if someone is glowing with victory and does before and after pics, i celebrate with them in their hard earned success. however, if you bother to check out the site, you may notice everyone is different here and people express themselves and their opinions differently. you have expressed your opinion. i disagree with it but you have a right to your post. you do NOT have a right to insinuate about posters as you have already done a couple times in this thread. perhaps you felt it was a witty rejoinder. perhaps you consider that everyone's circumstances are different and try to respect that whether you agree or not.

    Thanks~ When I'm with him it doesn't matter what I look like, you can't help but look at him. He's the secret to a good pic. One of my goals is to post a pic of just myself. I know I tend to hide behind my kids...that's not fair for them.

    Impressive brothers...You should be proud!

    I've never posted photos to websites out of concern for security and online privacy.

    Still, all the comments here made me feel I should post one, since this is a very nice community and it will help strengthen the same.

    no thanks. you do your thing...I'll do mine. I have made a bunch of friends just because they see my adorable dog and like the picture.

    So....maybe you wanna back off a little, being new and all?
