i have kind of an embarrassing wwyd

[speckledfrog]

Can you take a new after pic? Have someone here photoshop it for you? Crop it?

[ginap]

I think that your bathroom doesn't look as bad as you think it does and you look fantastic. Your mirror is clean, there isn't crap all over the counter and the bathtub/shower is clean. Do it!

[cleo29]

I would message back and ask if you can submit a second picture if you are not happy about the state of your bathroom.

you look awesome!

[spitforspat]

I bet they'd crop it. Or, you can send them another pic to use.

But, really no one will be looking at the background because they'll be thinking "holy crap she looks amazing, I'll have what she's having!"

[flamingeaux]

The first one is not really that bad. Can you retake the second one? Maybe clean your bathroom, go for a run around the neighborhood so you've got that authentic post run look, and then take the picture.

ETA: The second one doesn't look bad to me either, but if it's making you uncomfortable these would be my thoughts.

You look fantastic! I didn't notice the towels until you pointed them out but would could you just ask them if it is possible to crop or edit out the towels?

[TrickyBob]

You look fantastic! I didn't notice the towels, but I did notice the kid

I think it is fine. Your bathroom isn't gross.

You look fantastic!!!

[jane6672]

I didn't even notice the bathroom. Amazing work!

This or maybe crop it (the sides) and give her that version?

how about the dog ears/head on the other side? LOL! this is pretty much the crew that accompanies me every time i go into the bathroom

Ha, I didn't notice the dog ears. 

Honestly? You are a Mom with 2 children and you lost weight. I think it is absolutely fine to portray that in this photo instead of making a staged photo where people assume you have all the time in the world to work out due to your super clean house. 
ETA: I don't mean that to offend anyone, I just mean you look like a busy Mom. 

[RoxMonster]

To be honest, I did not notice a mess at all.

BUT if it bothers you, maybe reply, "Gah! I Just realized my bathroom is a mess in the after photo. Can I send you a more updated one to use instead?" I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Awesome job!

It looks like a bathroom. Bathrooms are supposed to have towels in them. It's fine!

[Raggedeannie]

Um you look like a million bucks and nobody is looking at your towels!!

[bonquiqui]

You look great!  I would just submit, because clearly you are the focus of that pic.  

[Raggedeannie]

Um you look like a million bucks and nobody is looking at your towels!!

[milosh]

You look Hawt! I'm not even looking at your bathroom.

[Deleted]

i see why you like that after, since you're wearing your race thingie. crop out the sides and it'll be only one towel hanging, totally acceptable.

[Deleted]

You've been hanging out here for too long. ML is the major leagues for those of us who judge for sport. I'm including myself I'm this group, so no insults intended.

I really don't think amateurs (ie normal people) notice these things. But if it bothers you crop the one on the right and show off your success. I didn't realize you'd lost so much weight! Thumbs up to you.

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Honestly, I didn't notice the state of your bathroom at all. I noticed that you look awesome though!

[Deleted]

Where's that picture of the girl taking a bathroom selfie with a giant log in the terlet behind her. She's already blazed the shame trail for you! Your path is clear, my friend. Hold that head high. Lol.

[Moe]

I totally didn't see any of what you're showing, all I saw is a proud motherfucking runner, as you should be!

That being said, I bet a photoshop genius here can get make it so the little of what's shown with your shower curtain can be underimposed to the left of you (or right, in our perspective) then crop the rest.

Yes?

I KNOW SOMEONE CAN.

Who's into graphic design?  Isn't @scottydeux a graphic artist?

[curtains]

you look fantastic!

[shamalamadingdo]

Dang gurrrrl, that's amazing.

I never would have even thought that was a messy bathroom.

All I saw was you.

[Raggedeannie]

Um you look like a million bucks and nobody is looking at your towels!!

[penelope]

No one will notice the towels. Use the originals pics, you look great and should be proud of yourself! Don't let anything, even some towels take that away!!!

[eddy]

Look I was looking for mess and couldn't even find a mess. It looks like what a bathroom looks like.

And you fucking rock.

[shoeless]

Another vote for 'go for it' ...everyone will be looking at your progress and not your bathroom. Your hard work shows! Mice job

[Deleted]

Go for it. You look amazing!!

[isabel]

I didn't notice the background in the second pic until you pointed it out. You look great and are clearly the target of the photo. I wouldn't stress about it.
