    Whew? If that was her, we need youtube video. I have seen a piano playing cat, now maybe a typing dog. Amazing!

    I like to see current photos of a person but it doesn't bother me either way.

    I don't like when a person doesn't put any photo at all.....I hate that little blue default guy.

    Ugh I hate profile pictures because unless shot really well, the camera always makes me look like a double chinned ninja turtle!lol But I see what you are saying. I am looking forward to a few months when i can post a new picture with my stomach I will be obtaining!!! :)

    I really take offense to the people who think those who don't show their current pic aren't working out hard enough.

    My current profile picture is from about 3 years ago. It is not current, but it is me after losing about 25 pounds. At the time, I thought I still looked horrible. Right now I am just trying to get back there (and then keep going!) My profile pic is one of the motivations to keep going and not give up like I did last time. (It is also clearly labelled as an older picture... and I am sure that I will post a more current one at some point as well)

    I do like seeing current pictures of people, but not everyone is comfortable with that. A current picture doesn't *have* to be your profile pic though, it could just be one of the many in your pictures folder (where I do have more recent pictures as well).

    All my pictures are fairly recent. I don't like lying or deception of any sort. Plus, if I'm brave enough to chat about how much I weigh, my embarassing body issues, etc... then I'm brave enough to post my face! :smile:

    Additionally... it's unlikely but I HAVE chatted with a few people who live in the same city as me. If we were to ever run into each other and a picture were to be 60lbs off from the person's ACTUAL body.. there'd be some explaining to do! :laugh:

    This is me from 1/25/2011. Workin' the cam just right. ;)

    Lighting is too bright which means wrinkles and gray hairs aren't noticeable.
    Angling the head hides the double chin.
    Scarf to create a longer slimmer neck.
    Stand up, shoulders forward, hip moved to one side and it almost appears that I have a waist. And trust me, after 14lbs of twins there is no waist to be found. I've looked, but it's still hiding. ;)

    I have some ‘great’ unflattering pictures my friends have taken. Maybe one day, when I’ve lost a few tons (okay 70lbs) ;) I’ll be happy to share some before and after. But till then I’m using my cam taking methods. Take a 100, delete 99! ;)
