    Everyone has their own opinion, and you may not like mine.....but I will try to say this in the nicest way possible...She's by no means anorexic, or Too skinny but if she is not going to compete in body building, why would you want so much muscle...Her arms and back, don't look, I don't want to say it but I can't think of another word, feminine...they don't look soft, supple and smooth like a woman's body should look. Her body looks hard, and meaty. I guess I think that woman should look more like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera or Kate Winslet more so than Leann Rimes, Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan....but like I said everyone has their own opinion.

    "The nicest way possible" to say that would to say that I would rather look like Beyonce. You can't say what women SHOULD look like. Women CAN look however they want and this is how Holly and a lot of us WANT to look.

    "She is also a real person!

    Everyone is going to have different opinions about what they think looks good, and what they personally want their body to look like. Remember what your parents/teachers always used to say: if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!
    [/quote]

    Besides the fact that she most likely has more muscles in her pinky finger than Ritchie and Lohan have in their entire bodies COMBINED.

    We are all entitled to our opinions, and that's great that you have one, but this is a motivational place. No motivation to give? Then you can move onto the one you can give to, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. :flowerforyou:
    [/quote]"


    ^ Bikini: Some how I really don't think you did mean that in the nicest way possible...and I don't feel I said anything mean, and she clearly doesn't need motivation. She obviously had this body in mind and she's got it - GOOD for her!!! That's great.

    I'm sorry that I have a different idea of a woman's ideal body but opinions are subjective....and this is a forum and everyone has the right to post something if they wish. She had the right to post her collage, I commend her for that. and i didn't say women SHOULD look like anything....I said "I guess I think that woman should look more like..." and i used celebrities as examples because no-one knows what my friend "Sally or Mary" looks like....

    But I find it funny that she was civil in her response to me but it's the rest of the people on here that are not...To the girl in the pictures we are talking about.............Oh I see....I thought that was you not flexing, good to know. Like others said if you are not pursuing it you should go into body building, it seems you have an eye and the dedication they are looking for.

    Am I the only one who thinks you look too thin? Some of these pictures look downright anorexic! What are we doing to ourselves ladies?

    honestly, i think she looks healthy, slender (not skinny), and well toned. a lot of our perception is skewed to think bigger is healthier because of the crazy amounts of people that are obese.

    Holly, you are truly amazing! The dedication and hard work and numerous hours you have invested in yourself are truly inspiring! Something truly amazing and something a lot of people don't know anything about these days. You worked your *kitten* off with diet and exercise. Hard work = Results Kudos to you my friend!

    To the negative women that have comments about "why" she would want to look like this....Why don't you take your soap box and go stand on it outside of Walmart and save some obese people?! Your questions to them might actually save a life.

    ^ I know for a fact that is NOT why I think the way I do....I was going to use celebrities like Greta Garbo, Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe....but was afraid people would only know who Marilyn is.... what can I say I think curves are on women are sexy.

    Well first off if your opinion is not nice maybe you should keep it too yourself....obviously in the pictures where you say she doesnt look soft sublte and smooth she's FLEXING and I think she is very femine and very insipring take a close look at the last picture on the right thats not femine? Look again! Holly dolly you are gorgeous and you look fabulous!! Keep up the hard work

    Amazing! You look great! I can't ever get that lean look though because while I can stick to a workout, I can't seem to get my eating under controle for very long.
    Thank you for posting the pictures. Every now and then I go through the success stories to keep motivated.

    I think she looks great! She has worked very hard to be where she is today, and she should be proud. She eats, she works out and she is healthy. She looks like an athlete. She looks amazing! Great job Holly!

    Hoping you can give some advice.
    You said that you do weight training 3-4 days a week, how long each day?
    do you eat all of your exercise calories back, or do you not eat at a deficit on the days that you weight train?
    Sorry I just really want results even 1/2 as good as yours, and it is so confusing because everyone says you can't gain muscle with a calorie deficit but yet all of the weight trainers I have looked at are eating with one.
    Thank you, you are very inspirational!
