I see so many people on here that lost a lot of weight yet when you check their profiles they never have the old fat pics up. I think you should keep a couple for a reminder of where you came from and an encouragement for the rest of us. So dont be ashamed keep some fat pics in your photo albums

    I avoided that camera as a "fat" person!

    I agree! I see this all the time and I always check for the fat pics, but they are nowhere to be found!

    I have them... not here....err... well, any recent picture of me is a "fat pic". One of my reasons I am here listed on my profile is so that I can face the camera again :) So I am usually BEHIND the camera rather than in front of it. I can't even stomach the way I currently look

    There aren't very many of my fat pics in existence- I wouldn't let them be taken back then!
    But, I gotta a couple of them up there in the old profile :)

    I only have one because I spent so much time camera shy, but I'm saving it for when I finally reach my goal weight. I don't even look at it myself because I want it to be like a big reveal for me too. There are pictures on my profile from 30 pounds ago though. :)

    It was an accidental, me in the background unawares fat picture that spurred me to do this but that photo was deleted! If I was happy to be photographed in that state i wouldn't be trying to lose this weight....No way!

    I hate my photo being taken anyway and I doubt there are more than about 20 photos of me in existence since I was a teen, got a few head shots, a pic of me holding each of my 4 kids seconds after they were born and a couple of full length shots of me...thats it! I was slim until about 3 years ago so not a case of hating my pic being taken because of weight either, just hate it

    Some, like me, keep them hidden for "shock and awe" at a later date :) I'll be posting my before pics at 100 pounds down.

    Bluiz, what a difference!! You look amazing!

    I've taken some underwear-only shots so I can compare them in the future :)

    I don't like them but I do have a couple on here. I do use them for motivation to keep going!

    Well, I don't think everyone needs to have their before pictures posted. If you're too embarrassed for now, then just keep them for yourself, for comparison and motivation when you need it. It is still a good idea to take before pictures, but if you don't want to share, that's your business. I don't think you should let anyone bully/intimidate you into doing anything. That being said, I have pictures of myself at all sizes in my profile pictures.

    I never allowed pictures to be taken of me at my heaviest, if they did, i deleted them off phones/cameras or got the person to delete it.

    Only a few pics at a wedding i had to go to cause I was the bridesmaid, but even then, I was 1 and half stone off my heaviest.

    I have a few on my profile...plus some progression pics.
    I like to have them as a reminder. I am still shocked everytime I look at them.
    Hard to believe I looked like that a year ago.

    But for the most part I did shy away from the camera. So I don't have many befores.

    I understand the reasons I just think it helps others know that they can do it. Alot of yall have done so well and it makes those of us who are just starting want to continue. I was leary of putting some now pics (shirtless at that) up because of my gut but I decided to put myself all the way out there and even to use one as a profile pic

    I actually do not mind sharing the fat pics or feel bad. I was there...and that was me...it took looking at the FAT pics to truly see the embarrassment I had placed myself in....so here's a reminder and I'll also include a pic of myself now....to show that getting from a very unhealthy obese place in life can be done! And I'm not done yet with getting to my goal..so this is a reminder for me as well!
    Thanks for the the topic post!

    Me too! I think you just naturally shy away when you don't feel good about yourself.
