    So I can show off my progress (and baby belly!) to others working on the simmilar goals. I am proud of myself, why not post a picture?

    Because I am great, and I think my friends deserve to see my greatness.:bigsmile:

    Pretty much this.

    To remind me how far I have come and how far I still have to go.

    So my MFP friends can see who they are talking to.

    I always hated having my photo taken but now I am a complete attention wh*re I take photos of myself all the time, most are too personal to put on here but I am keeping a progress album. I also can't walk past a mirror now without going OMG I am actually doing this!!! :happy:

    Why would you care? Mfp is about bettering yourself and you should be proud of that.

    I've only had 2 comments on my pictures since I began in April: both were very polite and complimentary. No flirting or hookups, just a genuine compliment. It made my day better to know that other people were nice enough to stop and send me a positive message.

    I used to be terrified to even put on a bathing suit. Now I take pictures of myself in it. But in all honesty. I am trying to better myself. Slowly but surely I am losing weight and Im proud of that fact, that I am taking the step that so many people wont. So, instead of looking at it as a negative look at it as a positive. Just think you live in a small town. This is a big communtiy. No one really cares what you look like they are just as proud as you or I at how far we have all come! Be positive dont let little mental things get you down!!!

    I actually usually just use nicely angled head shots to look as thin as possible and hide any kind of "fat".. but as I feel I can be honest about my weight etc at last on this site I used a totally natural pic showing what I "really" look like - it inspires me more to lose the weight, and be able to put up thinner and thinner profile pictures in the future hopefully!

    Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a pic of yourself. That's the problem with online sites and why kids don't learn communication skills. Everyone hides behind a facade.

    Because I am beautiful! :)

    Actually, I like posting a pic of myself, I think it's so people can see a friendly face when they're replying to me, and they can see that I'm a female, approximately how old I am, etc. I've never really thought about it. I don't care if my friends have a pic or not though.
