    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.

    I couldn't post new pictures from iPad but this is the body I'd prefer to Yo's. No offense to her, just my preference.

    Now I'm getting all insecure because my success stories haven't garnered any hate messages or strikes. :sad:

    I've got to work a lot harder. :laugh:

    LOL me too! I was all "wait, people are THAT jealous?" Gotta push harder! :P

    I WILL give Valerie credit for being the only one with the nerve to even post in this thread. There were dozens of ladies in the success thread who we know wouldn't take this challenge if we offered them money.

    That's the whole point. You want to bag on someone else's looks? You think because it's your opinion or preference that you can say whatever you'd like free of criticism?

    Glass houses and stone throwing and all that jazz....

    Maybe already addressed in the eleven pages I haven't read yet, but I'm putting some of the blame for this on the enironment MFP has created.

    I would totally post pictures, but I posted positively about his girlfriend and her amazing hard work.

    post just to add more inspiration then :) your body is amazing too!! that OT has totally inspired me, which i think was the OP'ers intention. i cant wait to have an amazing body to post pics of :)

    fine. I'll start - though, for the record, I had nothing, but positive things to say about Matt's gal before anyone decides to attack me.

    So many beautiful women.

    I cannot wait to put up my success story (when I've reached my goal!). Hopefully I'll have the support the women in this thread have had.

    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?

    I was shocked at how many negative comments there were. And i still can't comprehend how people thought she looked masculine, because i have NEVER seen a dude that looked like her.

    I've only read the first 5 posts on this thread, but about 25 pages (!) of the original thread Matt Wild posted, and I just wanted to say that I really like what you (BondBomb?) had to say on the original thread as well as here.

    And I think Yo looks AMAZING...that's some d$mn hard work there! It inspires me to start lifting again as I got a little hyper-focused on cardio while training for half marathons and I miss doing strength work!

    And I don't get all the uproar re: fake boobs...I've seen a ton of threads from women who've lost large amounts of weight and thus, their breasts sag--many people talk about getting lifts. It's a totally individual decision and not for ANY of us to say whether it's right or wrong.

    bump.

    hoping bikini pics are here and will inspire me, but afraid to look at them in front of others for fear of how graphic they might be or what one might think of me looking at bikini pic's since I'm a woman. will check them out later.

    I had no intention of doing this. Really. I think Matt's girl looks great and I didn't even post there.But reading through this thread has inspired me, so here goes. This is me last July or so. 7-8mo of lifting. I'm NOWHERE near where I want to be, but here you go. And my face is blocked out due to weird expression/no makeup/blurry. Here goes.
