Posting Photos as Avatars

sassaay · January 16, 2004

Hi Everyone,

I figured out how to resize my photo to know more than 50 x 50 pixels... but every photo I try is of such bad quality. How did those of you who have posted your photos, get such clear shots?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I don't know but from the look of your picture you don't look like you need the lap band surgery:p

Hi Ann,

Try taking a photo with higher resolution. If you're scanning a regular photo, set your scanner for a higher quality. The photo you have here looks like it was a low-res photo.

And Kelly's right--you look great!

Thanks Kelly & Alexandra for the flattering comments! I guess I am one of those “lucky people” (if you really want to call it that), that seems to wear there weight well. But, I am still up there and considered morbidly obese with a BMI over 40 and a lifelong history of battling with my weight. I just know that I probably wouldn’t look “healthy” if I lost 100 lbs or more, so my goal is more around 75 – 85 lbs. We will see how I feel once I am banded and start losing!

I will try taking a photo with a higher resolution and see what happens.

Thanks for the help.
