I am interested to see pics of white American and European ladies that have lost weight?

What weight did you start at?

What height are you and are you lifting weights to get to your goals?

Please share your success pics for us x

    There is a topic dedicated to African American ladies I thought it would be nice to have a post dedicated to white American/European success stories?

    White American/European people make up the vast majority of people on this website. Open up any thread and you will likely find a white person in it. There are so many threads with white people in them that other people literally have to ask to see bodies that might look more similar to those of their ethnicity. That's why they make the posts that you're attempting to parody here.

    Yes and it would be great if we can support a thread which shows how the white American/European can work so hard to develop a good body based on their genetics also?

    It is not racist it is showing genetics from the country and the type of lifestyle diet you have followed?

    Never said it was. I support any thread that shows positive lifestyle changes for anyone.

    I don't think your racist at all :)

    So you think it is wrong to dedicate a topic asking people to post before and after pics because they are white American/European and that it is a parody of a topic asking people to post pics about African American women?

    I am seriously asking for success pics from people of my own genetics?

    Let me add a bit more... I am 5 ft 4in and have lost 45lbs I would like to go into lifting weights more but would like some pics from people of European background to inspire me with pics?

    I don't really get the hate here. Its not like she's going "White people are the best race and so I only wanna look at them". I'm not white but I just don't get the overly political correct replies in here. In honesty, it makes YOU seem like the racist for looking so much into a simple thread.

    There are threads about Asians, Blacks and spanish bodies here. Sure majority of the crowd with success story is white but if the OP just wants to see bodies with similarities, whats the harm?

    Yeah, we're hardly the underrepresented minority here. And anyway I doubt I share 'genetics' with, say, a Swede. I'm more likely to skim success pics looking for somebody whose body shape matches my own.

    OP, if I was finished and considered myself a success, I would share pictures with you. In my opinion, if it's okay to have African-American success threads, then it's fine to have Caucasian success threads. Personally I'd prefer if there were neither, but whatever. A body is a body. Most of us here should know that regardless of genetics/ethnicity, what matters is a calorie deficit and health-conscious decisions all-around. I don't even really notice a person's skin color or race when I read through the success stories. I'm paying attention to what they say that they did to get to where they are and what they suggest. It's not like I see that the pictures are of someone African-American and I think "Oh, well this won't be applicable to me." Of course genetics play a role, but only so much. Other things are much more important.

    <--- the woman in my avatar is an indigenous European, she lived in Europe before Homo sapiens had even left Africa. I think she's very inspiring. I'm sure she can squat and deadlift a lot more weight than the average Homo sapiens person. She doesn't get fat because she lives in a cave with only middle palaeolithic technology. Her favourite food is woolly rhino and her favourite clothes are made from reindeer hide, and she made them herself.

    You are being willfully obtuse. To understand what I've said, go re-read my post. It has nothing to do with whatever you're attempting to say in this comment.

    There isn't any. People just need a reason to attack. They now have one.

    Your own genetics. Your genetics will have some, but a little impact on how you lose weight/tone. It mostly will affect where you lose your weight. In which case you should ask for your specific body type. Like pear or apple. The skin colour will make little difference. Unless you can't see past white/black.

    Just saying.
