    I would just like to point out that in my photo with a tanktop...I am not wearing a bra. No for real..and I nursed for over a year.
    And I was born with this tan. So there! :tongue:

    Yep...and WTF happened to your hand/nails?!?!??!?!
  • I wasn't planning on sharing these (just keeping them for personal high-fives) but to show my support for all the brave women on this thread, I'll share:


    I would love to have the athletic physique of Matt's fiance, Yo, and all the other strong women out there. I'm working on it!

    so pretty and amazing work!

    These are the people who click the report button when they read a success thread.

    Wait. People report success threads?????

    Oh yeah. Well technically they don't report success threads per se. But I've read comments from users who have actually said they get so jealous reading success threads that they then try to find posts to get that person in trouble.

    MFP likes to pretend it doesn't exist. But it's funny how the list of banned users contains a whole lot of people who've reached their goals... guess it's just a crazy coincidence.

    Just wait a minnute sir. The banned list contains fat slobs like me tooooooo......... :grumble:

    Now Homer in a thread trying to fight against body shaming we can't have you calling yourself fat.

    Slob yes, I mean tidy up for Pete's sake, but not fat!!

    :tongue:

    You misunderstand me sir. This is a success story. I was an obese slob. I have worked hard to be a fat slob. Soon I will be a portly slob, then a stout slob, and the finally a "he's a little chubby, but I'd hit it" slob.

    The ignore feature is working quite nicely in this thread.

    Yes... I'm taking you up on this suggestion... ah... the thread seems so much more peaceful.

    Holy crap - what took me so long? Thanks for the suggestion!

    Yup. It's happened before. Pathetic behavior.

    wasn't one of them a thread about my body fat being disgusting or something? One I never even got to see or read?

    It was a while ago, but someone basically called you some unsavory names as part of the "muscular women" thread a while ago. It was just another example of the fit-bashing that goes on here on a regular basis. I still hate that it happened to you.

    it was so not your fault. Please do not feel badly. I'm not for everyone, but I did this for me, not everyone else and I'm ok with that. Puffy hugs!

    ^Now THAT is the best attitude to have :)

    Hey Folks,

    I just want to remind everyone of a couple of our guidelines:

    1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation
    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you].

    and

    4. Show Respect to All Groups and Individuals
    No derogatory references to sex, gender, weight, body-type, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, or endorsement of violence against any person or group, even if couched in humor, will be permitted. This includes expressing stereotypes about any group or community.

    Please respect these guidelines when posting in this and any topic on the MFP forums.

    Thanks,

    An MFP user Matt_Wild posted some excellent progress pictures of his fiance. I read every single response. And while the majority of the responses were supportive. There were more than a few criticisms of her body. Mainly stating 'I wouldn't want to look like that...no offense'.

    So here is my proposal. I challenge anyone on this site that felt the need to make that statement, to post your bikini photos here and see just how many people out there would want to look like you. Not only that. I feel that if you can dish it out, you should be able to take it.

    Any takers?

    nah, i'm free to comment on pics posted that are open to crticism without posting pics of myself. sorry, disagree with this.

    Of course you dooooo. *pats you on the back*

    *crickets*

    Strange. People had SO much to say when they were criticizing her body.. they defended themselves and said they have every right to state their preference...

    It's almost like they were giant hypocrites who live to trash someone else but could never handle it themselves....

    yeah i couldn't handle it myself which is why i do not post pics of myself. so what? if you post pics and hold it up as the ideal you're going to get criticism.

    I see. So it's okay for you to criticize others, but can't possibly subject yourself to the same speculation. Well how about at least putting up pictures of bodies that you aspire to because I really can't fathom why Matt's fiance's body was not acceptable to you.

    i don't like the fake boobs. that's why. i said that about 50 times already.

    :noway:

    Over the last year I've noticed the boards getting nastier... and they were never that nice to begin with!

    I saw the post, and I thought, it's not the kind of body I want for myself, but dammmmn she looked good, and I have a hell of a lot of respect for the work that must have gone into it. Why can't people just be respectful? Ever heard if you've got nothing nice to say don't say anything at all?

    And seriously, stop obsessing over other womens breasts. It's just plain weird.

    ps. There will be no bikini photos from me, because mine are only going up when I'm happy with my body, like that woman is and should be. And isn't she lucky to have a partner who loves her and is so proud of her and the work she has done? That's totally off topic, but I thought it was really sweet.

    Valerie, if you're going to continue to post nonsense- can you at least use capital letters where they're needed. You're making my head hurt.

    See what I did there?

    Figures the only girls with the nerve to post pics are the ones who never had a bad word to say about YO in the first place.

    You ladies look great. You should be incredibly proud of the progress you've made.

    And never for a moment let small, petty, jealous women take that away from you.

    Thank you Brett! You hit the nail right on the head! I do believe the negative comments that were posted about Yo were coming from jealous females. Why does it have to be about jealousy? If a woman looks good I will definitely say so! Who cares if she looks better than me. She worked for it and I will strive to look that good too! I may be a straight female, but I can appreciate a woman with a gorgeous body!

    So, I'll fess up. I responded that I could never do her carb cycling diet. She only ate a "treat" once every 10 days, and personally I could never ever do that. I love food too much. She looks awesome though, and more power to her. So, that being said... here are my cake, ice cream, and candy eating bod pictures. Yeah, I don't look near as good as she does, but my tummy is always happy and I never feel deprived.

    Another poser. That's probably not a real belly bump.

    :wink:

    Definitely... fake bumps are so unattractive! :tongue:

    Oh good...it's Positive Polly!

    And you're still stuck on that "ideal" thing, I see...no one told you it should be your ideal.. And clearly you have a problem with a beautiful body obtained through hard work being an ideal. Ok then.

    i don't like fake boobs. her abs are nice. fake boobs are not obtained through hard work.

    That's the thing...the original post wasn't about her boobs...you made it about them.
