        Re: random thoughts....

        I have a question and this random post seems like a good place to ask it. I'm new to the board but I was very surprised when I signed up and looked through a lot of peoples before and after pictures. Why? Because I've seen a lot of the pictures that get posted here on YouTube before and after "thinspirational" videos. I've also seen a lot of the before and afters posted here in advertisements for different weight loss gimmick ads.

        As I lose weight I would LOVE to share my before and after pics with those of you on this board that have helped me. I would also love to help inspire others to lose as well. However, I'm leery of sharing my future pics because they seemed to be used without permission. I would be humiliated if my before and afters showed up on an Acai Berry ad or something like that for all the world to see. (Especially because I'm an in the closet overweight person. Meaning, I was never thin to begin with but since I moved away from all of my friends I've gained a lot of weight and don't want anyone to know.) Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or should I just keep my pictures to myself?

          Unfortunately all you can do to try to prevent people stealing your pictures to advertise their products is to watermark them. I think you can get software that does this, or even add writing across your pictures manually using a photo editing software before you upload them. Although it is possible to remove these marks they might not want to spend the time involved and go elsewhere to steal photos.

          If you notice any members pictures being used like this please post the link to them either to the member in a pm if you can find their name here or in a post in this forum so they can try to get the company to stop using it as false advertising and maybe report the company to the advertising standards authorities or their service provider..

            Jules, I was hoping the Whoosh fairy would come this morning, but no-go. Still sitting at 134. I'd like to see 133 since that was my very first goal I set for myself. No big deal, I'll wait a little longer.

            Can I say something? Even startng this in Jan I never thought I would see 133 and it's right there in front of me (basically). THIS WOE works!

              LOL, I went potty and weighed myself again and there in front of me was 133.80! Now, to only decide what weight I want to be at. This is not it.

                DizzyGirl... just wondering... where did the name come from (wondering if you're a GOO fan)..

                ok.. about the pics.... like Elizellen said... watermark them... write on them... property of .... or.. just show your body.. no head shots... OR... make them so blurry... that you can still tell what's going on.... but out of focus or poor lighting just enough that they wouldn't appeal to any commercial outlet... (does that make sense?)

                    Will do! I'm attending a writing seminar today. Guess the speakers will just have to get used to me popping up and down for unscheduled breaks.

                            LOL... Yes I am very much a Goo fan. I've been going by that name for so long that my family even calls me Diz or Dizzy now. I really them and their music. After "Dizzy Up the Girl" came out they inspired me to learn how to play the guitar.

                            Thank you and Elizellen for the suggestions. It makes me mad that these companies do this. They give people false hope. Hopefully one day they can be stopped.

                              Anything, and I mean ANYTHING you post on the Internet is something you lose control over.

                              If you put your picture here (or anywhere), it's not longer yours, if somebody wants to "borrow" it.

                              A watermark ... doesn't matter, Photoshop can get rid of that.

                              The choice is certainly yours, but I've learned this lesson the hard way ... no photos, nothing that can identify the real me.
