    I'm shy and not a public person, i prefer to not have my picture plastered everywhere. Maybe one day, but for now, no.

    I have had a pic of me being used since day one. I have added some new ones recently. I decided to use the real me to let others know that I am really plush.

    Like many others, not many pics of me out there. Always hid from the camera. Also I prefer to perserve some personal privacy. Was not embarrassed by my weight - please note the FAT Cats. I gladly claim my weight and am proud of the strides I have made to lose the weight.

    I use this picture to remind myself that the weight will not just walk away while I sleep. Unless aliens are seeding the planet, in which case all of my bones and internal organs may be vaporized and turned into cuddly marketable plushies to be bought by geeks everywhere. Wait, what?

    I used my own photo until recently then changed it to a gaming avatar a few days and now my kitties:) I have my photos before and after on my banner now. I was only 280's when I joined and not my highest weight. It isn't like people can't see you irl anyway!

    I was shy to use my picture at first, but after a couple weeks I dared myself to put one up as my profile pic. It's just my face though. I was embarrassed and still am of my body, and although I take pics for comparison, I still hate to post them up. I lost 50 lbs so far, but I can't really see any difference but I know there is because my clothes are big on me now lol.

    When I first started it was me, it will always be me. No matter my shape or form. I'm not embarrassed, I'm doing this for me, and I don't care what people think. There are people who are smaller than me, there are people who are larger than me. I'm okay with that. I've come to realize that this journey is all about me. It's my own selfish right, and it not only benefits me, it benefits my family and friends, because a healthier me is a happier me. So, I don't really care if someone sees my "fat" pictures, I'm all about pictures. Big or small, it's still me on the inside.

    THIS!!!! :drinker: :heart: :flowerforyou: :smile:

    Yep that would be me...I put up a pic of my mini doxie for the first couple months...I think my first photo of myself was in about October. I started in June...

    I honestly did not have any photos of myself...that I knew of. However, I have since gotten my hands on 5 photos that were taken (without my permission lol) at my heaviest. I used to be TERRIFIED of the camera. :ohwell:

    I didnt put up a photo of me, at first, because I didnt have a recent one. I just got around to using the web cam to take one.

    I got my b/f to take "before" shots of me, which I will share when I have made some progress.

    It's easier to be honest when you're anonymous - hence a virtual, online support group.

    I've never been embarrassed by my appearance but I'm using this site to stay on track, so my photos are all of healthy food choices so that when I log on several times a day, I'm advertising healthy options that appeal to me so I crave those options and make better choices.

    I posted a picture of a gardenia because they are my favorite flower and believe me, you would much rather see it than a picture of me.
