tell me I am hot..???!!! WTF?

Those girls with flawless model sculpted bodies work very hard to get to that point. It was not magically sent down from heaven. We are all here to lose weight and get in the best shape of our lives. So of course the people with the most toned and sculpted bodies are praised the most. They look great and it's hard work!! There should be no relationship between the compliments that they get and the ones that others don't get. And I'm sorry but I don't think that they are all conceited. They are proud of the results that they got. If I had a hard-sexy body I wouldn't want to hide it either!! lol. I do admit that some go overboard but come on.. It's a fitness site!! Those people actually inspire me because they are human just like me and they are in their best shape. I know that one day I can get in shape too if I stay consistent. I won't look like anyone else but I will be the best me I can be! And those that seek attention probably still feel unattractive inside and seek empty outside validation. We have to get our validation from within. AND We don't have to put others down to feel better about ourselves. Peace and love peeps.

*round of applause*

How many of you hope to get to your goal weight and show off the body you worked so hard for?

I hope for your sakes you don't have to deal with people like these who think you're shallow and should get off the site just because of their own jealousy and insecurities.

That's right I said it.

We're not saying they have to get off the site. I feel like I'm overlooked because I don't measure up (and probably never will measure up) to the beautiful people on the site. Even when I get to my goal weight, I probably won't be hot enough for a bikini or toned enough to really turn heads. I don't need a throng of fans, just an occasional "you look nice" will go far.

its just for the bikini clad photo ladies and gents! So instead of WOW you are HOT, I say SCRAM!!! Make room for the rest of us beauties that don't meet your standards!

Really? Because I read:

I don't know what you think SCRAM!!! means but...

There is absolutely no reason you can't get bikini sexy and confident. It might be something you're not setting a goal to accomplish, and that's fine, but don't say you "can't" do it. You most certainly can.

Furthermore, your sense of self-worth should not depend on how many strangers on the internet think you're "hot."

Well since I have 0 support from my family and I only see my friends on Facebook, the internet is really the only place to find support for me on the days my bf isn't here. I pretty much have no self-worth, I haven't earned it. I'll only have self-worth once I am worth something. Once I'm able to move out of the house and get a real job that actually uses my degree.

You're a human being, and I'm sure you're a lovely person with numerous good qualities. You are valuable and worthwhile. It's up to you to find that within yourself though. No matter how "hot" you get, that lack of self-worth will not improve until you believe in yourself.

I understand that. I was there. I was fat my entire life before MFP. I had no support BUT MFP. But I worked at it, stuck with it, and got in pretty great shape.

Imagine how you'll feel when you get there.

Now imagine people on that site telling you to SCRAM!! for doing it.



Yeah, it kind of sucks. I hope you don't have it happen to you.

OK just wanted to get my point across, yinz have fun. And Kez honey you are wicked cute!

thats all well and fine, however I did say almost and maybe your and my definition of hot is different. Just look at what you wrote, those things I do consider hot making a person..ummm...hot so before you come in guns a blazing with this give me a break stuff maybe you should realize that you just said all those things you would not call hot...but you see..I would

Awww man, I have a bikini on in my profile pic and no one has ever said on here that I look hot! Maybe I need to put my clothes back on!!!

So Sorry for meeting my goal.. Wtf? Are you serious. Personally If I were you I would really quit judging others and find out why you feel like you need this kind of forum approval. Just my opinon.

Well, I don't participate in the "is the person above you hot" threads because I think they're silly, but I do wear a bikini in my profile pic, and I'm not wearing it so people will say I'm hot. I'm wearing it because I'm damn proud of the transformation I've made, and continue to make, to my body, and want to show others that it can be done (at 40) and that they can do it, too.

I'm more proud of the fact that I've gone from someone who ate Hamburger Helper or frozen pizzas every day of the week to someone who cooks nutritious meals most days of the week (still need my pizza once or twice). That I've gone from not being able to run 1/10th of a mile to being able to easily run a 10k in under and hour. That I've gone from being so weak and injury prone that I once threw out my back cleaning up cat puke to someone who regularly lifts weights.

But a picture of me being happy with how I look in a bikini sums it up nicely.
