I was much thinner a mere 6 months ago---do I use a 6 month old profile pic to inspire me or a current pic to be real?

    I say totally up to you. I have a fat picture...but I don't have a skinny picture. lol You can post where you are now or where you were 6 mo ago and working to get back to. Or the cat. :-)

    It doesn't really matter what your profile pick is - or how others on MFP percieve your looks. It's about doing this for YOU. So do whatever moves you forward in your goals! :-)

    Doesn't matter. You're you regardless.

    Just posted this profile pic today. Me now and me 7 weeks ago (only a 1lb difference) but I have toned up more, and wasn't noticing a difference until I put the pictures side by side.

    If you want some motivation, google "fitspo tumblr" and you can download a ton of motivating pictures to help keep you on track :)

    I change mine all the time - a few times a day, sometimes. I'm with the "does it really matter" crowd, but personally I prefer to use current pictures unless they are a comparison.

    Just keep a picture of yourself with your current condition, at least that's what I would do. Maybe because I don't ever remember being skinny, but I look forward to taking lots and lots of pictures once I reach my goal :)

    Thanks for weighing in everybody. I think the cat wins for now.
