    Yup, I'm for privacy. No Facebook either.

    But, you can enjoy a picture of my adorable kitty cat!

    well, this is my real name, and this is me (and my three children) on my Wedding day last year -

    16560_194339778768_658183768_2908543_1167817_n.jpg



    and this is my Husband and I

    16560_194340033768_658183768_2908577_6672209_n.jpg

    and this is us last month on our delayed Honeymoon!

    Anyone can see me when I walk down the street, anyone can see my house of Google Street View, and I wear a badge with my name on it all day at work and people can see that too. I am proud to share my pictures with you all.

    "Why is this such a touchy subject? I don't quite understand the harsh replies she's getting."

    People are touchy about this subject because, we as overweight people have been judged on the way we look for all or most of our lifes and some are looking for a place of nonjudgement. it is hard to put your pics up when you have been slamed for the way you look and it takes time to get the self confidence to do that AND THAT IS FINE. I am not made at the poster i understand her wanting to see the before and after pics but people should be able to post theirs at there own pace.

    I completely agree. I don't have any close-ups of myself because I'm so insecure about my looks. I was called ugly so much as a child that even though I'm now 57 old (for crying out loud) I'm still very insecure. Hopefully one day when I feel I've taken a good enough photo to show on here I'll post a close up.

    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.

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

    this was the reason I was off-put.

    I don't know what all the fuss is about, I just cover part of my face so no deranged stalkers will go after me. I have issues with my ex boyfriend too, don't want him hanging around no more for sure. even when I go to the grocery store I wear this face shield, I mean you can't be too careful these days with all the weirdo's out there.

    This is MYfitnesspal not YOURfitnesspal, we can do what we want without the judgement of others. If we don't have pics then that's our choice and don't need someone to tell us otherwise.

    in all honestly i think it would be best iof this was deleted !
    we are supposed to be friends and motivate each other to lose weight !
    not to have a go at people for not having a picture !
    they might put one up when there ready they might not thats not for any of use to judge !
    so dont bother adding them as a friend if its a problem go moan on some other site not this !!!!!

    to me it was the way she asked, sounded harsh and judgemental

    I think that must be a perception thing, I thought it was fine. And the reaction from some people has been very uncalled for I feel. People could say 'I am not comfortable posting a picture of myself for various reasons' etc, no need for the vitriol.

    I don't understand what is happening in this thread (I don't see what is rubbing people the wrong way), but it's ten minutes I'll never get back.

    You can see me in my profile... help yourself if you dare... :bigsmile:

    I dont have a picture but that is because I am doing this for me and me alone, none of my friends/family know I am doing this as it is about the millionth diet I have been on and they will expect me to fail...

    I wouldnt want to be recognised and that is the only reason I am not putting my picture up :)
