    This is a rather pointless thread. OP, you have been here since 2012, so I am sure you were fully aware of the s**tstorm that this thread would start. If you are going to call out the profile pictures of tons of people on the site, at least own it. Don't be passive aggressive about it. :yawn:
    Yeah I was wondering this too since OP has been around the block, judging by her post history. What did she think would happen lol.

    I think my mind must be pretty boring. I never even notice let alone think to start a thread about something so trivial. What must it be like to see everything in the world AND find something wrong with it. It must be magical.

    Anytime someone posts a thread that's moronic, irrelevant and redundant as this one...all I can think is:

    You can't see it, but my hand is on my hip in my profile pic.

    Enjoy being annoyed by a trivial detail you have no control over.

    It seems like some women simply cannot pose for a picture without one or both hands on their hips or waist. What's up with that? It looks incredibly awkward and forced to me.

    However posing in your underware and bra for the public to see while covering your face with your cell phone appears ever so natural.

    still better than all those weird laying-down bikini pictures people have lately.

    :cry: guess I'll just leave then

    why do you still have 7lbs to loose on your ticker? My pelvis sticks out like that and I am on here to make sure I eat more.

    I believe you received a lot of facetious responses, because your question delivery didn't seem to be a genuine inquiry.

    I took it as you expecting others to jump on board in the mock and shame parade. Since it didn't go that way you flip-flopped and made it seem as though you were asking a question that is relevant to a weight loss forum and one in which you were sincerely contemplating....

    Well for me, I'm posing like I would for my upcoming bikini competition (my posing has since gotten much better, lol) and the judges WANT you to have a hand on your hip. So I'm just doing what they want, and then it became habit. :)

    I call this the planking AND "awkward bikini pic"....two in one. It's not at all forced because there's no hand on the hip...sooo natural.

    This is actually pretty neat! I'd try it with a bunch of mats below me!

    Its photoshoped. Were the hell did her shadow go?

    Judging by the angles of all the shadows in the pic, I'd say it's where that big blob of dark is on the far right side of the pic. I don't think it's photoshopped.

    I can see where the big blob might be, but to have no hint of shadow at all from around where her butt is and up? If you look at the other shadowing around, the angle should at least show something, I would think.

    I am a professional Photographer. Not trying to say I know everything about everything but I would also like to see her muscles in this photo look like they are actually working not like she is lounging. It takes a lot of energy to maintain a pose like that.

    not to mention the shadow would be behind her like it is on the posts of the structure she is supposedly posing on.

    I pose with my hand on my hip because I'm awkward as f**k and I don't know what to do with my arms/hands/whatever at any given time. Sometimes when I'm going about my day, my hands flail wildly about my head, sometimes they wiggle gently behind me like they are blowing in the breeze. In an effort to appear to be a normal human being I've decided that the hip is the most natural looking place for me to rest my hand during photos. Apparently I'm wrong about that and it is "unnatural". I will ensure that in future selfies I am holding my phone with both hands and staring at it as if it is about to reveal all the secrets of the universe, as you have so wisely chosen for your profile pic.

    Here's one answer for you: arms looks skinnier when you pose it on your hip, so someone once told me. LOL!
