in Health and Weight Loss
Okay I am making a huge step in the right direction by trying to get over/work on my body issues. I am on day 9 of the 30 day shred. I wanted to post 'before' pictures, then on day 30 I will come back and post after ones... I am very self conscious about my body, I hope I don't regret posting these.. If anyone else has 30ds before/after pictures feel free to post them, I need the motivation!!! (btw In these pictures I am 118-120 at 5'4, my goal weight is 110)

And lastly...this is the WORST one for me to ever post because I HATE my thighs with a passion. I never ever show my upper thigh area...not to mention my awesome back fat.. HOPEFULLY 30 day shred will kick my *kitten* into shape. On day 9 now, thats how long it took me to post these..

    Strength train will help you build lean muscle and get that tone look you are looking for.

    Can't wait to see the after! Pretty low weight now, but lean out and add muscle will be a knockout combo!

    You have a nice body! I wish I had that body! I'm sure 30DS will bring out your muscles more but also it should help you lose inches if not weight. :flowerforyou:

    30 day shred won't help? I want to get rid of body fat as well as tone. I planned on doing ripped in 30 next then either 'insanity' or 'p90x' But I am lost when it comes to the "best" way to get the results I want. I am pushing myself to eat more then 1200 calories because eating this little has stopped my weight loss. But I am convinced eating more = gaining weight. In my head when I go over 1500 calories I freak out because I have been sticking to 1200 for so long that 1200 to me is a maximum amount of calories. Me & food have a bad relationship. I have never starved myself or anything but I count calories like a psycho, and feel guilty if I go over what I think is to much. (also body dysmorphic disorder doesn't help either! I see a whale when I look in the mirror. Nobody gets it and everyone thinks I am fishing for compliments..I WISH that was the case, those pictures make me want to hit the delete key and send them to my recycle bin and never look at them again! or cry.. or both) I think mfp has just made that a lot worse.. I wish I had a personal trainer that would say do this do that eat this not that... then I would be fine. I wish I had a healthy relationship with food, that I could go back to the days before I obsessed over calories and knew the calories of everything in my fridge

    You look so great! Hopefully I'll look that great at 120. :) Also I love the shot with your earrings in it, they look awesome.

    It would be a hourglass if I didn't have the back fat.. the one thing I actually LIKE about myself is my small waist.. Hopefully I will be happier about posting my 'after' pictures...

    Seriously?
    Back fat?
    Thighs?
    I am the same height as you..and would KILL to have your body!!!
    You should be thrilled you look like that!
    What I wouldn't GIVE to be able to have a flat stomach, perfectly shaped rear (yes..your is perfect), and legs that didn't rub together!!!
    Be PROUD of your body.....you are absolutely stunning, and I'm sure there are a LOT of people here who would agree with everything I have said!

    Do you think you will be able to see your progress, or will you still see "fat"?

    Do you have some kind of body dysmorphia disorder? Your frame and shape are probably considered around the ideal already.

    If your focus is to look "ripped", go with P90X. It has more weight training, which is key to the ripped look. Insanity is hard core cardio. Something else to consider is Max Workouts. There is no DVD with it, it's just a hard core circuit exercise program that has a 90 day schedule. It is geared towards athletes. I've been doing it for 4 weeks and have seen great results (my profile picture is 3 years old - I look much healthier now).

    BTW - you look great just as you are! But I understand the desire to look better, no matter what your starting point is.

    I hope the problem is not psychological rather than physical. Just a thought.
