Social pictures whyyyy?????

why do u care so much what other people do to even post this?? lol
i'll never understand why people are sooo concerned about other peoples stuff for... Do u really think people care about if u dye ur hair blonde or not LOLOL i highly doubt it considering "the site even has fitness in its name"
People in Glass Houses Bruh..

There's no way u are serious posting that.

The name fitness is even on the website. Having actual body pictures benefits a lot since we can see where you stand on your progress and how hard you've worked. Having a whole bunch of pictures of a person covered doesn't let us see anything and doesn't help at all. Those belong somewhere else.

This site also has sections specifically dedicated to "chit-chat, fun & games", "recipes", and "motivation & support" - all of which require social sharing.

Some people are losing weight for a wedding, a high school reunion, a competition at work or with a friend or family member.... These are things we talk about with our "friends" here and are part of our weight loss journey. We are not all here to get "ripped" or even thin for that matter! Some of us just want to lose SOME weight to get healthier or learn healthier ways of cooking and living. Some of us have decided we just want a change, to feel better about ourselves and aren't looking to post photos of our bodies EVER - because that's not how we gauge our progress.

If seeing photos of bodies motivates you then fantastic! Seek out others like yourself and friend those people - make THEM your support system here.

Us others will continue to share our lives with our online "friends" here and that may just very well include posting social photos - it works for lots of us, even if it doesn't work for YOU!

You have too much time to think....stuff like this shouldn't even bother anyone :P

seriously......

I almost thought this post was a joke until I saw that you were for real. It's really not that serious, so long as everyone is working toward a goal of being healthy:)) We still need to have a life outside of fitness. This is a place to also chat and make friends and get to know one another. Life can already be uptight enough. Lighten up would ya:flowerforyou:

Uh-oh. Guess I'm in trouble...:ohwell:

Oh, wait, I'M in charge of my profile picture.....YESSSS:smokin:

CONCUR! I mean, the things people get worked up about in here is ridiculous..... upset because of someones pics.... if you dont like it, move on!

Honestly...I will never get the "someone is using MFP differently then I think they should" fussing that crops up here on a regular basis.

He just wants to see all of us without our clothes on.

But I love my monkey photos. Why do you want to take them away from me? Do you want me to be sad?

Monkey photos are ok. But not photos of you and the monkeys at the bar or club.

And heaven forbid your monkey photos depict any kind of examples of living a fun monkey life....this site is totally not about that. Monkeys may only be weight lifting, or showing off monkey muscles....

And don`t ever suggest anything about hot monkey sex.:smokin:



Oh wait....I just did.

I agree, monkey pics are fine, just dont show them in a monkey bar, drinking, smoking, playing pool, or heaven forbid the wet monkey t-shirt contest.... THOSE ARE SINFUL!!!!!

He just wants to see all of us without our clothes on.

He could have just PMed me and asked. :blushing:

PM coming your way..if I would have only knows it was THAT easy
Now what was the original poster complaining about?
:glasses:

:devil:

Ummmm yeah what she said!

Ever stop to think that some of us are still a little too shy to be posting full body shots? Or in a bikini, hot pants, yoga pants or whatever pants? How about a monkey suit? Would that work for ya?

if i was to put up pictures of my 'sexy' body, it would turn each of your annorexic
trust me - some of us just aren't ready to post semi naked pictures of ourselves
plus - ppl see me dressed, in clothes, i dont walk around naked, so i measure my loss on how i look clothed )
