Jessica, you don't need to lose any more. 110 is low for your height. Focus on lifting weights and you should see the results you're looking for.
Taryn, you look great!
Dahllywood, awesome.
I don't really know how to post pictures, but my profile pic is a recent body shot. I'm at about 160lbs (looking to lose about 30 more) and I'm a little under 4 months post baby #3.
You look great! Congrats on your weight loss so far. You can really tell the difference in your face/neck area. Keep it up!

@Cris - Nothing to add that you haven't already stated. What about the legs? Proportionate to the upper body? Good job with your comeback.
Yep, I do legs every day I go to the gym (3x a week), presses/squats...but at the end of each rep I go to full extension to work my calves. I hate those jersey shore types with no lower body lol...I want overall strength damnit!
=D0 -
Jessica should follow Sergeant Sunshine and start lifting weights. It seems like everyone here who's done that has seen good results. Don't worry about toning or cardio. Lift and get stronger. You'll porbably gain 10 lbs of muscle and look how you want to look.
I'm a big skinny nothing myself. I'm starting to workout more but I don't choose to put the time in that's required to add more muscle.
BTW Sergeant Sunshine, you look great. I wouldn't change a thing either.0 -
agreed ill be the first to admit i did look sickly didnt realize it at the time but i do now && i was terrified on gaining weight at first . but when you do it the right way say muscle wise like the girl who went from 130 ish - 140 ish you dont look bulky or big even with gaining the last 8 pounds my pants and clothes are still the same size!! cardio only helps to promote skinny fat & takes away from muscle you have (case & point with me i never had a flat stomach or anything toned up like i do now when i was running over an hour everyday) now its 3 days of hour long weights a 25 min run one day 2 mile warm up one day 1.5 mile jog one day && then maybe half hour cycling another just for maintenance
& im so much happier!
Ok...you're my hero for today...seriously.
THANK you for this post!
thanks! :] one i those looking to hit their goal biggest thing stay positive & dont fret over a bad day (we all have them its called being human) ive learned we are our biggest enemies & worst critics to ourselves heck half of us let a number try to make or break us, which is not okay. do what you do for you not for others we are all going to have our own opinion on here, but its more so how you feel about you at the end of the day, & you can only help someone or push someone so much before they have to believe it want it and do it themselves
btw congrats to everyones improvements you look great :]0 -
My pics are open if anyone wants to look, can't do the posting thing from here. I would say for the OP, yes, she still has fat she could lose. The problem is though, without building up some muscle first, losing anymore fat at this point will not make you look better. My recommendation would be to add some weight, build some muscle, slowly, then peel off the body fat slowly, and show off your hard work. Losing weight too fast, and without strength training will cost you muscle, it can't be stopped. I built most of my meat a long time ago, its just been hiding for the past decade.........As long as you are being healthy, do what you want!0
-
I think you are beautiful too! But I do not think you have 8 pounds of fat left to lose. I would try to put on some muscle if you want to look fit. I would eat slightly above maintenance with a solid lifting plan.
Agreed.0 -
i personally dont see the jiggle you're talking about , && i dont know your height so idk if 110 would be too low. id say maybe focus more on toning exercises over losing weight. ive actually had to gain weight, but my inches went down & this is the flattest my stomach as been ever even when i started at 99.
heres me now. : at about 112 want to stay here
i was this: 99 and when i started i found this one to be attractive sadly.
You look great with the extra weight.0 -
I'm all for some honest opinions. Loving the feed back.
You look great as in, but I am pretty sure you want more muscle or be more cut based on your past posts. So keep lifting your heavy weights, girl.0 -
I really appreciate the feed back! I was thinking of cutting to 112 (6 more pounds) for summer then bulking to put on muscle during the fall. My legs are where I carry my fat, and I hate them, but they are very strong xD0

Don't. Change. A. Thing.
Seriously lol.
IF you really wanted to, you could put on a few lbs of muscle in your lower body, but otherwise, nothing.
I agree with Chris, although I know you are always working on it at the gym. So keep on keeping on.
I'm going to have to agree with them^^0 -
My pics are not on par with these other girls, but i'm proud of my progress, and would love some feedback. here's what i've got for pics...

Am I the only one here that thinks that the OP is looking for people to tell her she is too thin? At 5'8", with a goal weight of 110lbs, I would say there are definitely some eating/body issues going on here. While I think MFP can be very helpful to people looking to lose weight in a healthy way, I know it probably does a lot to feed into illnesses such as anorexia.
i understand where youre coming from, but at the same time i think we need to e careful not to read too much into these things. intended or not, i think some people are sometimes bitter towards those we would like to be/look like. for example, jst becasue she is thinner than me and i would swap bodies with her any day, doesnt mean i should accuse her of having an potential ED. she is just another person who wants the outsiders view of her... an unbiased opinion.0 -

I'm a "leggy" girl, and I'm always afraid if I run or do anything with weights and whatnot I'll lose my hot legs. LOL0 -
If it's the jiggle you don't like, I'd suggest adding a little muscle bulk. That may even make you gain a few lbs, but you'll leaner and more muscular with LESS jiggle (which, btw, I don't see, but I know body image is all relative).
No pics here... definitely not where I want to be, and beat up on myself enough without inviting complete strangers to do it too!
All the best to you!

there's no way in hell you weigh over 200 pounds with those nice legs.
i'm like 5'1'', 140lbs, and my calves are like 15.5'' around.
I WOULD KILL FOR LEGS LIKE THOSE0 -
I have a little on my stomach and I absolutely hate my thighs. But I'm between 5'7" and 5'8". I used to be 110 though so I know it's not unreasonable. I have incorporated a lot more toning exercises than I used to, but I haven't seen much of a change
I think you look great though! You're skinny but in a fit and healthy looking way
Anything under 120 is underweight for 5'8". And if you're trying to actually tone, you will weigh more than 110 because muscle weighs more than fat. Try going by how you look and feel not by the number on the scale! I know everyones body is different but just.. be careful I'm 5'8 as well and aiming for 128... I already have a 25.5 inch waist so I don't think it's really necessary to be much smaller than that!! 0 -
You're gorgeous. I wouldn't try to lose anymore weight if I were you - work on upper arms a bit, that's my only suggestion as I think you look perfect everywhere else!
As for me... don't really care either way for critique, but not going to post pictures here either. (Cause I'm lazy >.>) But if you really want, there's quite a few pics in my profile. I want less BF overall, but my problem areas are my upper arms, lower back and thighs. Still a work in progress, so constructive criticism is welcome but not necessary. 0 -

Thank you!! I've always had incredibly long built legs from dancing for many years, then running track. No lie, I keep them in shape with mainly squats, calf raises, leg extensions, and hamstring curls. Don't be afraid to lift with them, it'll tone them puppies up!!0 -
