What other pic?
I posted another thread titled "I think I need to be told I am fat" in clothing
I am trying to add this one to that ....0 -
I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing 40. I know if you lose a lot of that extra weight you are carrying you will look yrs younger. I am the same height and weigh 150, I am overweight, I need to lose at least 20more pounds to look and feel better. WE carry our weight very different, I love your stomach

you're right,it's not oops :laugh:0 -
LOL just looked at your profile, you are 40!! I was right, lol. Anyway, you will look younger if you lose weight, 0

I didn't see your other post, but I did see your profile picture.
I think you're lovely and commend your efforts to get started here. I sure hope that the negative, unnecessary comment made early on in this thread doesn't deter you. I believe in you and know you can do it! Best of luck to you as you pursue health!0 -
They make nice tankinis with skirted bottoms. You do have a nice body shape, it could go real well for you once you lose the extra fat. I still don't think you look morbidly obese in this picture either but definitely obese (hey "be nice" people, see her original post, that was her question).
IT is great though that you feel great, please keep still feeling beautiful when you go out just don't forget your reality check, yes you do need to lose quite a bit of weight still.0 -
No, no, no! She is asking us our opinion if she's fat or not because she thought she looked better than the pic showed. Look at other thread.
Ok, yes, you could stand to lose maybe 40 lbs. You have a cute figure and it'll just get cuter!0 -
You have guts for posting this photo, you have a nice shape! I wish I looked like that in a bikini and I'm 166 pounds!
Good for you and ignore people's mean comments. If you have nothing nice to say....0 -

I disagree. People are far too flattering about other peoples looks on this site. Noone ever gets a "no" in the "do you fancy me" threads. Noone who posts before and after pics of them looking exactly the same after losing maybe 5lbs is ever told that they look exactly the same.0
-
Read thru the original post.
The gist: She posted a pic of herself at 190 and frankly, she looked pretty alright and definitely not 190. She asked for our opinions. Many were favorable so she said that clothing covers a myriad of faults. That's where she raised the ante and posted a pic with less clothing. I think she knows she has some work to do and just wants affirmation.0 -
maybe people are really exited about losing weight they feel the need to post excessively> just a theory...0
-
And maybe many of us got here after our partners / friends / parents / selves told us we didn't need to lose weight and we were just fine, as we slowly gained.0

This! Too many people being lied to for too long and/or lying to themselves. The Emperor has no clothes people!!!0 -
You are a better person than me for taking those harsh comments. Its one think to give advice and opionons. Its another when people are down right rude.
As far as the pic. You have guts for posting it. I can see the confidence show. I will look for the other pic to compair.0 -
You certainly do have a better body for a bikini than I do at 167 pounds for sure... but it is my understanding that you WANT to be told you look 'less than spectacular' to get your motivation up and running??? Sometimes we need to be careful what we wish for (especially online). You KNOW that 190 at 5'3" is obese on the BMI scale. You OBVIOUSLY want to lose some weight and look and feel healthier. Does it really matter if a bunch of random folks TELL YOU these things? No... You have to do this for YOU and how YOU feel. Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:0

Wow, people... if you can't say something nice just SHUT up! :noway:
Hang on, whaaaat? So if someone asks for an opinion only people with nice things to say should comment? Ummmm. Wow.

Love your responses Lean4life2! Wish I had your confidence to take it on the chin without offence. Think we could learn something here, well I will try to anyway, glad you started this thread. :-)0

I saw on your profile you are married with two kids and are 40.
I would say that at 5'3 you should have a goal of getting to a healthy maintainable weight for you...whatever that is.
If you can find cute clothes to help you look slimmer...and don't a lot of us try to do that? That's great.
Just try to be healthy.
At least that's how I look at it.
I don't anticipate that I am going to turn back the hands of time and be 22 again...
Do it for your health and your loved ones.0 -

So people believe that gives them the right to shred people and kill what little self-esteem they have. Like I said earlier there is a way of giving constructive criticism without bashing people even if they ask for an opinion.0 -
Lets all be lovely to each other all the time. Kittens, bunnies, pink fluffy clouds, glitter, daisies, cake. No, maybe not cake.0

Some people on this program have their own issues with food and body image and may not be the best judges themselves. I am the same height and 20 pounds lighter than you but DO NOT LOOK THAT GOOD IN A BIKINI. You are VERY proportional, perfect hour glass figure, which is why you think you look good - because you do! I have said it before and will say it again, stay fabulous, work on this for your health only and NEVER let ANYONE criticize what you look like. Besides, we are ALL so much more than an image caught on camera. Attractiveness comes from the inside and shines out. It has to do with being confident, loving yourself, being a good person.....I know so many "skinny" girls who don't have those things, don't love themselves, and are not HALF as attractive as you are.0

She is asking purely on the basis that she doesn't have a self-esteem problem at all and actually sees herself as smaller as per the previous post. You really ought to do your research before you put on your caped crusader mask. If someone asks for my opinion that's exactly what they'll get. And just because one person's opinion or style of offering if differs from yours doesn't make it less valid.0 -

She asked for HONEST opinions. Someone saying you need to lose some weight is honest. You need a thicker skin. This is just ridiculous. If you're going to post a thread saying I need to be told i'm fat then you're going to get some comments. I think it is great of her to be that bold. I wish I had been that straight forward about it. But people like you who do nothing but sugarcoat and do the "oh my god i'm fat and need to be handled with kid gloves thing" just need to stop. We are ALL here for the same reason. We ALL know what it is like to be fat. And i for one believe that ALL of us wish we had done something about it sooner.0 -
I totally agree with you. When I read the "you are still VERY overweight" I was like, "What a *****!" That is not the type of feedback I would put out there. How about being encouraging instead of being so damn negative? I'm sure this girl, brave as she was to post her picture and put it out there in the first place (I haven't worked up the nerv to do so myself, so kudos to her), has enough negative talk going on in her head, she doesn't need to hear it from other folks. Just saying...0

You are overweight. BUT, it appears you carry it in your thighs rather than your stomach. Stomach/mid-section fat is dangerous. I would take the "morbidly obese" diagnosis with a grain of salt based on that. Someone who carries a lot of weight in their mid-section is a lot more at risk. Focus on eating the right kinds of food and get your workouts in and you will be just fine.0
