So how come everyone looks gorgeous in their Avatar photos?

[Paul_Farnham_uk]

Hiya all,

I am writing this as a tongue in cheek post as an amusing observation.

I find it amusing that we are a forum dedicated to weight loss and yet every profile pic you see if of someone who looks like they should be on the cover of Vogue.

I am curious are they all profesionally taken photos as i can say for sure that i dont have a single photo of myself at my current weight where i look remotely glamorous or studly lol

Those days are yet to come lol

No flaming please as im not insulting anyone i just found it amusing

Regards

Paul

Mine was taken on my birthday 2 months ago and over a stone heavier that I am now!

Thanks! Maybe I ought to go back to the better looking Shrek avatar I had? LOL!

I tried to find the most "realistic" picture of me for my avatar - there aren't a great deal of me at my heaviest because I didn't like having my photo taken. I didn't want to use an older one because I felt like it would be "cheating"? I don't know... ha. My plan was to post another one when I find a recent one that I like. This one's pretty boring.

My cats are much better looking than me!

My problem isn't with my face, rather the spare tyres around my middle.

Mine is from the sister in laws wedding and i think my face is ok its more my horrible wobbly belly!

My avatar picture is the first picture of me that i can actually see how much weight I've lost, that's why I like it so much. I am also glammed up and ready to hit the town for my best friends birthday - it was a happy night, that's why I like the picture so much

Avatar's are interesting, my thoughts are people either just show head & shoulders because that's all they want you to see. The full length ones are the people who want to show what they've acheived & if the avatar is not a 'person' one I assume they want to keep some form of anonimity.

I'm taking this as a massive compliment ( even. Though I know you don't mean me lol)

 

[Emmamb]

My pic hides my face but shows off my decreasing waistline

Mine is from when I was at target last year and I just can't be bothered to change it. I'm out of target by just over a stone now but working to getting back to that nice slim weight again so hopefully in 6 weeks or so it will be an accurate reflection of me again!

Mine is from the Race for Life last year, when I started noticing weight creeping on but didn't decide to do anything about it until 3 weeks ago!

 

[Ally89]

Mine is when I met my idol for the second time a month ago *sigh*. And I look hell of a lot better there than I did a few years ago...though me being me I still wouldn't say I was attractive, even though I feel happier as i am now.

I just wanted a picture and because i'm on work computer most of the time I don't have any ones of myself so just downloaded a smiley

 

[lilprincessvic]

My picture is showing off my tum in my chubber pants! Still a bit to go but think it looks ok, my old pic was me laid in a pile on the floor after too much booze on my bday last year, definetly not professionally taken!
