Cheez...I'd wish somebody steal my picture so I could sue them for false advertisement and royalties made on my picture....

That is just awful.

Still seeing this on facebook! It annoys me!

OMG, I never even knew about this!!

I found the original post about this and I didn't know that these thieves also steal your location info from your IP addy.

I was so looking forward to posting a before and after pic someday...now I don't know. I wonder how successful watermarking the photo would be? In the meantime, I'm going to pull down a before pic of me on another site.

How insidious this is.

Insidious it is! When I reach my goal, 10% body fat + 5-7 lb lean muscle, I'm considering posting pictures of myself. But I would not like to see my smiling face endorsing some crazy, bodybuilding supplement that can also carry adverse side effects.

C'mon people, THINK!
There are easy ways to prevent our pictures being stolen.
For example we could easily watermark pictures we post doing simple stuff.
e.g. Copy paste your picture to paint and use the brush tool to write your username across the picture. After save it, and then upload.
This way, other members can see what a great job you've done whilst your picture is protected from being stolen.

I saw another ad with a stolen photo from here the other day, but I was at work and couldn't save it.

It's awful that people are stealing photos. The only silver lining is that we have spotted about 5 different sets of photos stolen from here, so it's showing that Atkins IS the way to diet, otherwise they'd be stealing pictures from another diet's website!

I saw my own before pic used with someone else's after pic in an add for colon cleansing! I stopped posting my pics.

This FREE SERVICE, might be of help to some of you.. This site puts a watermark, or Logo anywhere on the picture. Personally I'd use it to put it in the middle of the photo, granted it might distract from the photo's effect, but will also detract from the stealer taking it. Free Watermark. Add Custom Watermark. Protect Your Photos and Images - PicMarkr

Hope this helps
