That lady at the top.

[Mariposa Bella 3]

Wow, you guys have too much time on your hands.. if your sitting up late at night analyzing the lady in the picture..

Mariposa -

LOL - not really... Snap judgements about strangers don't take any time at all.

I can sum up in seconds whether or not I like the boob grabbers "eat my apple, bitch" pose or not.

:thumbup:

I look at and take pictures of people for a living. Doesn't take me long to notice an unflattering arm cradling a breast. :thumbup:

I never noticed the boob grab, but the whole measuring the apple thing totally bugs me. I don't get it. Why is she measuring an apple? And she does appear to have an attitude problem....I edited my old page, so "Rachel Ray" wasn't there. I wish apple measuring boob-grabber would go away too!

When I first saw that picture, I thought that she had taken a bite of the apple and it got stuck, which was why she was holding her chest.

I like the idea of using someone from this forum...

When I first saw it, I thought she was measuring her boob and comparing it to an apple.. I don't know why she'd be doing that, but to this day when I don't know where to go read and I am looking at her pic, I still wonder what the heck she is doing!

Ok...this is so funny I literally just snorted!

Thanks for the laugh.

Chickie doesn't want her pictures on here anymore. I agree ! She would look great up there.

We are talking about the stranger at the top of the home page. I think it should be someone from LapBandTalk

She is covered up now at least on my home page, by an ad from one of the lap band sponsors.

Chickie doesn't post her pics any more because she caught waaayyy too much crap for "Making people feel less than successful"

And it was pointed out a long time ago, by Alex, and others, that it would actually be unfair to single out one person in particular to pose, as we have quite a few ladies and gents who would be perfect!

And I tend to agree. While I don't like boob grabber, she (or another stock photo) is a good alternative.

[MacMadame 81]

We could take a bunch of photos of different forum members and morph them together like they do in the movies!

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

I can't see the lady anymore. There is a big ad over it and all I see it the top of her head.

Chickie, you look great and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.

I wish I could get my weight down. Even at the goal I picked, I would still be overweight. I can't seem to drop anymore and I am bummed.

[SuzanneG 1]

I never liked her either. It would be cool if they took pics of folks on here and rotated them. That would be fair and interesting.

:thumbup: Are you serious? I used to love seeing your pictures because it was always such an inspiration! That sucks that you got crap for that. Some people... *shakes head*. Hey if they can put the disclaimer on Jenny Craig, etc. that "results may vary" or whatever it is, why can't that be understood here. You did fabulously and if I did 3/4's as well as you did I would pleased!!

[ParaGirl 71]

I think that people who complain about pictures being posted are just jealous. We are all different and have different levels of motivation.

Some people are basically miserable people and will never be happy. I say ignore negative comments and post all the hot pictures you want. We can choose ourselves whether or not to look.

I for one love to see the pictures of people who have succeeded, even if my bod doesnt end up being perfect like someone elses, it is inspirational to view others' successes.

My opinion.

[lindata 1]

Denise - I like your suggestion of having a "real" LBTer on there - like a before and after or something.

That lady at the top has been bugging me too. It seems like a WW ad - and I get bad vibes when I see a WW ad on TV (or any other weightloss ad for that matter)

I think they should have some sort of Daily Motivational Quote up there... or something like the "I am staying on plan today because..." thread.

Or, that photo you see sometimes of the fat lady looking into the mirror and seeing a thin version of herself :thumbup:
