Honest body opinions (add your own pic too)

Awesom I love this, o.k. I have two questions for you fine folks

This is my calf after a couple months of stregnth tranning, is it pretty good, I know I have fat to loose



and these are pics of WHEN I was 90 pounds smaller, this is the smallest I have been in my adult life, I know it's kinda hard to tell, but how much more do you all think I can aford to loose I am wearing a size small in these, and just to pount out, I have a ton of muscles and am very broad

Maybe another 10-20 if you want to be smaller..if you want to be the thinnest you could without being too thin Id say 30 tops but I think you look nice in that middle picture! I LOVE the sweater and you look healthy :]

Thank you madame that's the amount my mom said

TluvK- Wow! you are in great shape! I think the most impressive part of this picture is what I can see of your biceps. You must lift really heavy, and you have to definition to show it!

Thank you! Oddly enough, my arms are pretty quick to show muscle. I know this isn't true for a lot of women. It's the rest of me that I'm really trying to focus on. I lift pretty heavy - I mean, relative to what I used to lift, which was not much at all. I have a friend who's trying to get me into Crossfit and I'm really on the fence because I like my own little program and actually really enjoy working out by myself.

I'm going to address a few people's comments here for hopefully the last time.
1) I do have some definition in my arms, although I know it's not much. The way my arm is posed in the picture makes it difficult to see. No matter what I do my body has a hard time gaining muscle. It's always been a struggle for me.
2) My boyfriend is very into fitness and nutrition and he told me that I should be eating 1500-1600 calories a day. Even with eating this much I'm not really losing anything. I tend to only lose weight when I eat 1200 or less. But he makes sure I get as close to 1500 as I can.
3) Yes I am technically underweight according to BMIs but my body structure is pretty small. So any extra weight that I have shows very easily. BMIs are bull**** anyways.
4) I say my goal weight is 110 or lower because when I was 110 a couple years ago I still had that little bit of jiggle that I hate. Maybe I'm just picky but I'd rather be comfortable with my body. Another point here I used to be 110. That is not too small for me. That is my natural body weight (110-113). I have gained some weight in the past couple years that I don't like.
5) Those kind of tumblr girls who complain that they're fat when they're skinny are NOT the ones I'm talking about. The girls who are my inspiration are into eating clean, lifting weights, and promote overall healthy lifestyles.

I know I said to add your opinions about me, but some of your assumptions are very uncalled for. All I wanted to know is what to improve. Not know about how you think I look gross.

I think you look great!, my husband is natrully very lean and also has a hard time bulking up with muscles, so I know what you mean,

but any who, I think you look really fit and healthy and if you feel good then don't worry about physically just focus on eating good, lefting and cadio, so you can be happy and healthy well into your old age

SPNLuver83

I think you look like what so many of us on here are trying to achieve!

SPNLuver83

thanks! hows your diet, ? cause thats also a big part. but ultimately it is what you're happiest with that matters since you are here for you not others . it took me forever to tweak my workouts / eat more to one not be unhealthy yet be okay & confident with the weight ive gained.

you look SO MUCH BETTER with the "extra" weight chick!

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

In all my honesty you all look great. Here's mine (sorry if its a bit dark because this was taken from my camera phone), I know I still have some fat in me that I'm working on right now

<--- this pic (I was about to upload it but it seems that photobucket has a problem right now)

and these

before, mid february:

after, beginning of april:


i'm happy with my progress so far, but i hate the pudge around the midsection. i'm really trying to hit the cardio hard. however, this is the lowest weight that i've been walking around at in about 4 years (190). i really wanna get to the sub-180 mark, but it feels so far away.

EDIT: ok i guess i don't know how to post pics

Wow that's a huge difference! Just keep it up :-)

It IS a huge difference. Your biceps look awesome.

TluvK

Love the opinions. I want some!

You work hard, don't you?? It shows. For sure.

whiplashpcw

I'm all for some honest opinions. Loving the feed back.

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.

^^agree lol

perfection!

Absolutely!!!

Even though everyone on here is slim...

158lbs :



Im nearly at this again so its the best pic i have!

Love the tatto! I would say if you are happy with this look then it's a good weight, if you wanted to like go running on the beach in a bikini then I say loos a little more and lift and what not, but you look great

booyainyoface

wayyyyyy too much booty and not enough muscle. darn pear shape.

but in all actuality, i believe that all of the girls (myself included) that are posting pictures in their underwear, know that they don't look that bad... and compliments from a stranger from a less critical eye can sometimes help us realize the good we have, as we tend to focus on the bad. that being said- i am thankful for my small waist and long torso that can get a nice stomach with a little work!

your upper portion looks great and your stomach looks Awesome!, I would focus now on the glutes and thighs and you will be unstopable

bedoozled

booyainyoface, we have almost the exact same body type (but I'm jealous of your even tinier waist!) My thighs and butt are where all of my weight is, and it looks like it's the same for you - but you're also clearly healthy, and you look really good to me (especially those arms!); what cellulite-free legs! I'm trying to focus more on weight lifting and keeping my calories/nutrients at the right level to lose fat and gain muscle, since I've heard it's better for hip etc. reduction than cardio, but I don't know if that's the "right" thing to do or not (as I'm certainly no professional) : )

emilyc92

booyainyoface- i'm not sure what the exact name is (maybe "traps"?) but your upper back muscles are very impressive! and you're right, you do have a very small waist! lucky girl!

mmrodr38

Look very hot. Good tone.

aww thanks...i absolutely LOVE lifting my back. this was a few months ago, ive upped my weights but haven't taken pictures to see the changes yet, but can see the changes from even heavier weights in my arms/shoulders every day. but my booty is the same- my jeans tell me that

Oops, wrong thread. I thought this was "fishing for compliments..."

green isn't a good color on you.

siliisobel

Love the opinions. I want some!

You look fab, what do you do to get a stomach like that?

yoovie

Love the opinions. I want some!

I think you look amazing- your tum is beautiful. The only thing I would say would be to work on your quads and that balance would be freaking awesome.

yoovie

ok, here's me



i kinda know what i need to do. i need to keep lifting and lifting heavy. it doesn't really show in this picture (i was having a good abs and muscles day) but i do have love handles and am trying to get rid of them.

right now i'm in the middle of race season, so i'm doing way more cardio then i should be. soon i'll be doing less and lifting more. i only lift two times a week, and i do one run, one bike, and one swim a week. my squats and dead lifts have definitively improved my running and biking, and my kettle bell work outs have really made my swimming top notch.

the only other thing i want is to have my chest bigger. but that takes time.

Im curious to see what changes when you switch up your workouts after race season.

yoovie

ok I'm game.

adrian_indy

ok I'm game.

I've got nothing. I saw your profile pic and was like "DAMN!" Take out the fact that I am a guy, and as a guy, I like attractive women. That pic is impressive.

yoovie

I want your arms!!

Here's me at 164lbs. I'm 5'6". (I cheated and just used a pic from my profile.) I've lost 2 more pounds since this was taken, and my abs are teasing me.

I'm still very much a work in progress. Bodyfat and measurements have been decreasing steadily and most of my lifting numbers have gone through the roof. Can't complain too much.
