Just curious, but why is it that I see veterans that choose not to have a profile pic? Seems like once you reach your goal weight, or close to it, that you would be proud of how you look and want to post a profile pic, even before & after pics. Maybe some people want to keep their identity secret. I can fully understand why someone that has not lost their weight would not want to post a pic. I guess, when I read a post from someone, I want to be able to see what they look like. Makes everything a little more personal. By the way; if you're one of the people that chooses not to post a pic, I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just curious.

Not a vet, but I had a pic briefly and decided I didn't want it picked up in a screen shot for use on the Bariatic Pal app.

i'm not a vet, nor am I particular sensitive about my appearance.

I just like to keep my identity private and be evaluated on the content of my character in this here cyber-t'internet-world.

That is all

I second that :-p

Though I may post a body shot with no face when I lose enough weight lol

I'm pre-op so I'm showing my fat self too. LOL. I understand it's not all fat shame driven.

Yeah... well that fish should be ashamed!

It's a big as a cow!

Could also be laziness! LOL When I signed up here I was at work and didnt have access to any personal pictures so I'm not even using the Avatar I use everywhere else. I usually read this forum at work and I'm limited to what I can do because technically I don't need the Internet to do my job. I could of course upload something from home, I just never have.
