    you may not look exactly like the model on the right.it takes a lot of hard work,eating right' genetics play a part, body type has a lot to do with it as well.not to mention a lot of these pics are airbrushed. Im not saying that the model doesnt look like this in real life, but they do airbrush any flaws she may have,and a registered dietitian would be better than a nutritionist. It could take years of hard work to get a body similar to this. Ive been weight lifting almost 4 years and I can say I dont look anything close to this lol.a personal trainer may be able to help but you need to find one who knows his stuff and thats can be a hard thing to come by(some think they know it all and dont).Im not saying you cant do it,Im saying it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to get to this level for most women.if you are willing to put in the time and effort then you can achieve a decent looking body.just be the best you you can be.

    Yes she does have a air brush tan her workouts I can do but her eating is what I think would be so hard to be that dedicated. I'm only on week 2 of eating really healthy I'm going to try keep working at it im hoping MFP will keep me on track :) I should look into having a nutritionist go over my diet with me

    anyone can be a nutritionist. find a registered dietitian they have to have a degree and know more.

    I dont mean an airbrush tan,I mean when they do these pics the photographer will go over them(or someone will) and they will take out any flaws using a computer program). who is this woman?

    Eating lots of vegetables and cutting out the unhealthy snacks is absolutely key! Good luck!

    vegetables alone arent enough and 6 cups doesnt say how much exactly. if possible get a food scale and weigh in grams as cups in most cases are not an accurate weight, they are to be used for liquids. and my cup measuring cup, I weighed liquid in it the other day and it was even 8oz.(says 1cup on it) it said like 7oz+. but solids should be weighed on a scale.I weigh everything to make sure I am getting adequate measurements of food,you need protein,and healthy fats as well. if you are only eating veggies you arent going to get much of anywhere except maybe the hospital for malnutrition down the road.how about setting your MFP up to lose .5 lbs a week and eating to the calorie goal it gives you and see where you get in a few months. you will also need to lift weights and to do that you need adequate protein as well. The model in your pic lifts weights BUT,she eats in a surplus she states she eats 2200+ calories a day. but its going to be different for everyone. if you want to lose weight and fat you eat in a deficit,if you want to build muscle and look leaner you can eat in a surplus,you will gain some fat but you can lose the fat later on with whats called a body recomp which takes a LONG time.or you can do whats called a cutting cycle where you eat in a deficit and still work out to lose fat.
