    You look good to me. If you want some muscle definition to feel better try some strength training. May I suggest Jillian Michaels Dvd SIX WEEKS SIX PACKS.

    take the nude pic down... now. You don't even look 16, and it's just wrong. This is a site full of adults and some of them are quite predatory. Please, do not put yourself out there like that.

    Even if you are in fact 18, you are still growing into your body. Your body will keep developing and changing even after 18.
    I kept growing in height until I was in my 20s.

    Focus on learning to eat right and healthy. Incorporate some strength training into your week, and learn to love your body as it is.

    I could agree with this post more. I agree with most of the people that have posted that it sounds like it is more about having low self esteem.

    First of all, I wouldn't use any adjective with the word fat in it to describe you. You are plenty thin. It's hard to judge whether you're toned or not, but if your goal is to achieve a healthier life to avoid health issues that are hereditary, watch the types of foods you eat, rather than how much you eat. And there is a test you can take from a physician that can literally tell you now, whether or not you have the diabetic hereditary gene or not. This could alleviate a lot of your concerns in that area. I was reading about it and spoke to a friend last week whose mother had diabetes and eventually went legally blind from it, confirmed it. Stay active doing those things you like to do, rather than those things you are being told to do because someone else tells you they're better for you. If you do what you like to do, you're more likely to stick with it! There must be some exercise, some form of it, that you like to do - do it! Good luck.

    As I said in Friends channel, based on the first photo, you are not skinny fat. Based on the second photo, again, you are absolutely not fat. You have a body many women would kill for. If you want to go for a more defined look, you can, but I'd rather look like you.

    You're thin, beautiful, under age, and take that photo down before people call the moderators.

    Good idea. It's too revealing. I didn't realize the OP was underage as well.

    I actually don't know that, her profile says 18. I go by the photos. It's disturbing.

    Um, a not a suitable for work would have been nice. You weigh 97 pounds for crying out loud. I would say you could stand to gain a few pounds and lose some body fat, but definitely do not lose anymore weight.

    ETA: I gained weight and lost body fat.

    You probably don't realize how short the OP is. She is 4'10'" and a bit and 97 pounds is as she is small boned perfect for her. I am five feet and my weight, albeit higher than hers is also quite low. She could gain a couple of pound ( which she would if she started to lift heavy) if she wanted, but she is fine as she is. The ideal range for someone the OP's height and age is 95-115 pounds. So yes, she is at the low end, but there is imo nothing to cry out loud over.
    I do agree that she should not lose any more, because that would be detrimental to her health and looks. I think she has reached the absolute low limit.

    I have a problem with the belly flab/excess skin appearance when I'm in the nude. I don't like looking at it, it's gross.

    you look excellent. the parts of your body you aren't happy with are the parts of models and celebrities that get photoshopped before you see them in magazines. trust me, you're in better shape right now than 90% of the women that you see photos of.

    don't let photoshop ruin your self image

    :heart:

    ETA: OP, if anyone is teasing you, they're probably doing it to be "funny". My stepsister actually became anorexic because people used to kid around with her about being fat, and telling her she needed a girdle when she was always at a perfect weight. She's been sick for a very long time, and we've almost lost her a couple of times. Please seek help.

    A girl weighing 97lbs wondering if she needs to lose weight just makes me ill.

    Everything Neandermagnon and Davpul said.

    You look fantastic. If you want to look even MORE fantastic, that will take hard work, time, food, time, patience, time, heavy weights, and time. :wink: But you look fantastic right now.

    Pretty much every woman on the planet has a little mush somewhere they're not happy about. If you're trying to look like a model, they don't even look like that. Not only do they train specifically for a photo shoot or show, but they have teams of makeup artists, professional photographers, and lighting experts on hand, and all that is BEFORE the graphic artists take out any crease or bump.

    True. I did not catch her height when I posted that. But, I do stand by the rest of what I said. She could still stand to gain a little weight and take off body fat, IF that is, in fact the look she is going for.

    You are not fat by any means. I feel sad that so many young girls see themselves with such poor body image. :frown: And please be careful where you post pictures.
    You are lovely.

    what the heck is skinny fat...just a new way to over criticize ourselves as if we don't do this enough..you are perfectly fine. If you want to tone more then make that a goal but don't down yourself by taking 2 negative words and adding them to a beautiful girl. Of course she is a kid not sure what everyone missed in her profile about an 18yr old calling themself a teenager LMAO....most 18yr olds are more than happy to be considered "young adults" that was my clue she was a kid ...I bypassed the picture when I read her profile
