    Meh. doesn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me are catfish or people with clearly photoshopped body shots. Not the instagram color change thing, I couldn't care less about that, but the obvious distortion type things. If you haven't earned it, don't pretend by fiddling with your body.

    Man, I wish I'd read this before my afternoon body fiddling session. I really hate to dissappoint one of my favorite MFP members.

    I don't even use my own profile pic.

    Personally, I never ever post pictures of my kids anywhere online. There are too many cracker jacks out there.

    This.

    And what if idgaf about a stupid stock photo of a flower. Maybe I prefer to see people's bodies. Everyone in MFP should cater to me. Make me happy. Please me.

    I've decided... I don't want anyone to post their face. No really. I don't want to see your face. It's not MyFacePal.. it's myFITNESSpal. If you can't show me evidence of your fitness - or quest to achieve it - in your profile pic, then why are you here? Cmon... seriously?

    I think my personal preference should TOTALLY dictate what EVERY OTHER PERSON on this site does with their profile pics. And if they disagree with me, then I'm totally calling them down.

    I hereby declare...

    If you don't agree with me... your decision as to what you post is ridiculous, annoying, and whatever you pick that doesn't please me I hereby deem as fugly.

    Because I have been dubbed judge and jury of all things MFP.


    ETA... besides... it's impossible to *kitten* to your profile pic when it's not you in the pic. sheesh.

    :flowerforyou: *smooch*

    Only thing that bugs me is people not having a pic at all, it screams 'fake' and/or 'troll'.

    This does not bother me for that reason but sometimes I have found myself exiting an otherwise interesting topic just because it got hard to keep track of all the blue busts as to who was saying what. I know that reading their names SHOULD help with this but it's so much easier whenever people have a pic of any sort. Even easier when their tickers are unique. I like reading the end of someone's words and not having to scroll up b/c the ticker of her driftwood or sandwich fixin's tells me exactly who wrote that. None of the other stuff bothers me.

    Although I will have to agree with OP but for different reasons. If I found out my sis or any family member was using the face of her child as her profile pic I'd respectfully try to help her understand that her child is under the age of consent to having his/her image all over the interwebs and especially on a site like this where opinions get so heated and people take issue with a lot.

    If you post pics, I can judge the fiddling. I'm helpful like that.

    I think you should probably mind your own business. I don't foresee this ending well.

    Love my kiddos to death; but being the mother of 3 teenage girls... I find that I feel the need to protect them. So I very very rarely use them in my profile pictures and I won't post them as the only person in my profile picture... because clearly they aren't me. And honestly they might get embarrassed; and I am sooooooo good at that these days :laugh:

    Too many weirdos have ruined it for us parents... gotta keep those babies safe!!! :heart:

    Because my kid and I work out together. He's pretty awesome. He can deadlift more than his body weight...he can run 2 miles...

    That said I usually only put pics of just him up if there is a reason I want to share a particular pic with my friends :)

    Someone's boxer motivates them...? :huh:

    :laugh:
    My dogs motivate me. They need to be walked, and they should be getting walked twice a day. Being capable of walking them more is a motivator in losing weight; walking them because they've been cooped up means I'm walking instead of sitting on the damn couch.

    I thought that was the norm on the internets.

    I've watched my parents declined from cardiovascular disease.and it was pretty awful. When each retired, they decided to indulge and progressively gained more weight with each year. There's nothing like remembering your parents in pain.

    My family is my major motivator. I never want our son to see me like that.

    I'll go even more rediculous. Pics of their pets.

    I don't care about your pets or kids. You are the subject. Show your own face.

    I'd take you a bit more serious if you could learn to spell.

    You think some of these pictures are of real people and not a picture they picked off of the web?

    I'll use whatever picture I want!

    This is one of the most REDiculous discussions ever. This is not a nanny site.

    Wow, this man posted an opinion and posed a question and you guys are interrogating him like he's the Son of Sam. People on this site can be so freaking rude it's unbelievable.
