    You look awesome girl! Keep it up, weight loss after a baby is so difficult but you're doing great! And for anyone who felt the need to comment negatively on this post. Were you never taught if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything? MFP community is supposed to be a place of support and encouragement, not negativity. Do you have nothing better to do than criticize others achievements? There's a big difference between helpful/constructive criticism and just being plain mean. Learn a little bit of sensitivity.

    Girl this just explains it all. I see the same people commenting on almost everyone's post on the forums and just being completely rude. There's absolutely no reason for so much negativity on an app that's suppose to be supportive and motivational. Some just have nothing better to do with their lives then to sit here and read forums all day and comment rude stuff.

    In a lot of cases people here take issue when they think that what they're seeing is dishonest, so they comment on that.

    It's often not intended to be rude, they just want the truth.

    That's not even it. Even on questions forums I see the same people who think they have the right to be rude. A person is asking a question because THEY DONT KNOW THE ANSWER. Which is why the question is asked in the first place and I bet I can go through almost any post and find a negative comment no matter where it is. Whether it's in questions about weight loss or chit chat or maintaining weight or whatever the case may be.

    I feel like I definitely fall on the constructive criticism side of the argument TBH
    Nah you don't.

    I feel like I do.

    I complimented you on your amazing progress, I said you had no need to edit pics because you look great

    Many people on here show tremendous courage when posting pics of themselves when they don't feel in great shape.

    The great thing about MFP is that there are so many people on here who are open, honest, and ask for advice, honest critique, help.

    There is enough fake ness in every day life, on other forms of social media - people here making life changing progress don't need to see fakeness here - photoshopped pics showing progress that wasn't made, and unattainable physiques

    I'll say it again - well done, you've made amazing progress, look great and should be proud

    Anyways, I'm out. Good luck with the rest of your journey
    Yes I know you've complimented, which is very nice. I'm not saying you weren't. You're not constructive criticism.
    But anyways it wasn't altered so if anyone thinks or believe that, they can refer to the other pictures I have posted that look the same way and same shape as that one.

    But it is constructive, in short what I'm saying is

    "Don't edit your pics" - criticism

    "Your unedited pics are good, post them and you won't get people questioning your authenticity on the forum" - constructive

    Here's mine.

    I'm 5'3'' and the first photo I weighed 126 (which I didn't like on myself) and it was taken in August 2016, right before I started consistently using MFP. The middle photo is from December 2016 after I'd lost 5 lbs and the third photo is where I am now and it was taken last month (I think). My maintenance is 109-111.

    Hey Folks, we have cleaned up this discussion quite a lot and have opened it up again but have a few reminders.

    While we do request that our members keep your “success” photos authentic, we don’t feel its appropriate to publicly question people on a photoshopped image. If you feel strongly a success photo has been altered in a way that is misleading to the weight loss process, please report the post but do not attack the poster.
