    Thanks so much for the advice! I have been a vegetarian since I was six, so eating lean protein can be pretty difficult when I don't like tofu! But yes, I absolutely agree that I should do more core exercises. Thank you again!!!

    Since you are vegetarien, try protein shakes instead. :) Make them with soy milk for extra protein :)

    I have the BEST recipe for a shake I have every day. It is so satisfying and really good too! I use 1.5 cups of light vanilla soy milk, 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 frozen banana, and half a scoop of slim-fast french vanilla powder. It results in a huge shake that is to die for! Just make sure to defrost the bananas and strawberries in the microwave for 30 seconds to make the blender blades last longer. Enjoy!

    You look lean, healthy and gorgeous!

    I think if you lost much more weight, you wouldn't look as healthy. I agree with maintaining your current weight and just work on tweaking things a little if you want more muscle tone.

    you look fantastic! Not a single lovehandle or roll, no cottage cheese thighs - nothing! I agree that you might be feeling unhappy because you lack the definition that some people have...but I also think you have a problem that a LOT of women have. We don't see ourselves as we really are (an extreme case would be body dysmorphic disorder but its basically the same). Maybe what you REALLY need to do is compliment yourself in the mirror, fake it until you make it. You need to see yourself as gorgeous because you are.

    I agree with snookemz, compliment yourself more often. Everyone's body IS different; we each carry our own beauty. Find your beauty and embrace it.

    I think you look great, too! I'm the same height as you, and my goal weight is 5 pounds heavier than your starting weight...... Must be those different body types you talked about! I would maybe recommend toning (if you're not already doing it). That'll tighten things up even more, give you more definition, but wouldn't necessarily take your weight down any more. I think you look great!

    Listen to the numbers, you ARE the ideal weight for your height. Don't listen to your head telling you that you have problem areas. If you want to tone to look ripped, then tone to look ripped, but don't diet.

    I have MFP set to gain so that I can tone and get in shape. Being under your ideal weight does not make you look better, it can cause osteoporosis, weaken your immune system, gives you bad skin, and makes you look sick. Stick to the weight you are.

    If you think you need to lose, I would see a doctor.

    You look great!!! If I had a body like that, I'd be a happy girl. I know how you feel about having a negative body image, I struggle with that as well. However the change needs to start inside yourself. Sounds to me like you need to do some positive self talk and take compliments without putting a negative spin on them. It's sometimes heard to do but it WILL change how you view yourself. Good luck and remember that you look great, you worked hard, and you're awesome!

    Honesty you look darn good. No wonder your boyfriend says you look great you do! I dont think you look too skinny at all i would say you have a healthy body.. I wish the stupid celebrity could see your body and go for that look instead of rail-thin look. Maybe if anything and I am grasping for straws you could perk up your butt and thighs a tiny bit. You would get there fast How toned do you want to get?

    You look amazing. Seriously. You have a gorgeous body. You should be proud of your accomplishments. I know how you feel though. But I think what is important is to not compare yourself with everyone. I do that too and in the end it's just counter productive.

    To repeat what pretty much everyone else has said, you look fantastic. You have womanly curves, which you should flaunt. You do not look "big" in any way!

    I"m sure you have some self-esteem issues if you are thinking you look big. That's what you have to work on right now. As others have suggested, maybe do some toning, for a little muscle definition.

    Don't compare yourself to others, you are you and you should be proud of yourself and how you look! You're GORGEOUS!!!:flowerforyou:

    You look great. I have not read all the other posts, but I agree the issue is not really weight loss for you anymore. If you are unhappy with your toning and definition you need to get doing strength training and look more to a maintenance level of calories so you can build some muscle and burn off some of the remaining fat.

    If you feel you don't look as great as you want, it isn't your weight. It has to do with toning and lean muscle. Start intaking more protein and doing more core exercises to tone your tummy. Guarantee you will be happier!

    I Totally Agree Cause you look great Toning is the answer not losing weight!!! Maintain and Tone
