young Something interesting about all the profile pics

[LouiseC 1,029]

I think it is interesting how many people's profile pics were clearly snapped while they were behind the wheel of their cars - why is that? I ask because it has never occurred to me to take a selfie in the car. I'm curious…

I have never taken a selfie in the car BUT I have caught sight of myself in the rear vision mirror sometimes and thought "damn! I look hot!" It part of my whole new relationships with mirrors. And shop windows. And still waters. And pretty much anything I can get a reflection on. I have been known to take a selfie just to check out how I look when there is no mirror close to hand. I am so embarrassed admitting this, but it is funny as I used to hide from mirrors and cameras and now it's just "what am I like?" Laughing at myself here.

So maybe the car selfies are just others catching their reflection and thinking 'yeah, I need a keeper of this look.' I think post WLS they should warn us that catching glimpses of ourselves while driving may be hazardous to other road users......

As a photographer and taking my own "selfies" there are tricks to make one look younger and thinner. Just point the camera at an angle from your face and bring your chin down a little and take the picture. That's the best advice I can give to get you your 21 year old sexy selfie picture.

I take 20 pictures of various angles till I like it but last week this one was taken of me and I was not mortified at the results. Me and my Grandson, I'll be 46 in March!

I have a lot of selfies on my FB but when I signed up on this page right after surgery. I chose one taken right before surgery so as I lose maybe it will be inspiration to myself and others just coming in.

My son snapped this picture a few days after Christmas as I was getting ready to go out He's a great photographer. I tell everyone that if he can make me look good, he can make anyone look good. And of course, I always thank him for photoshopping the wart off my nose!

I'm not 21 although I wish I was but with my 40 knowledge. I don't take selfies I selfie impaired. A good friend takes our family pictures. I cropped them out for my picture. Everyone looks amazing!! I love seeing all of your picture.

I'm a LONG time past 21! Lmao.... I left my 20s many many moons ago! But have to laugh at the post! Lol

I'm thinking you must not be "blowing up" the profile pics since if you did mine, you'd see all the WRINKLES AND BAGS under my eyes! LOL Untouched - ex-fat person now a "mature" adult woman! Ha!

So I don't think there's anything wrong with this, but I can't help but notice that the profile pics for almost everyone (especially the ladies on here) make everyone look like they are about 21 years old and not a single pound overweight.

Even people that haven't had any surgery or lost any weight, the pic of their smiling face appears to be that of a 21 year old who is not overweight in the slightest. Do people just post pics that are from before they gained weight? Pics from when they were 21? Or are some people finding the "perfect angle" that makes you look really thin? How does one do this?

Maybe I want to make a "glamor shot" picture so I can also be a sexy 21 year old woman. How can I accomplish this?

It's all in the angle. I'm 36. My profile pic is from about 4 weeks ago and I am am in the passenger seat. I'll take a selfie anywhere, though. I've got no shame.

I'm currently 214 pounds. I can see the weight in my face compared to a year ago.

[jacileggs 402]

How's mine? It's pretty accurate. Lol

[gowalking 10,790]

I just changed my profile picture recently because the one I was using showed me alot heavier. Since the weight loss, I thought I'd update it to show a more accurate account of what I look like now. As you can see, I'm not in my 20's and it's certainly not a glam shot. It's a nice one though...at least I think so.
