Honest body opinions (add your own pic too)

It's not about what the scale says, it is about how you feel about yourself. If you don't like the jiggle, then as everyone else said, you need to tone up, as your size looks proportionate to your height.

Me, there is no way I would post pictures right now. I have been on a bit of a roller coaster. I started at 147.8, got down to 130.2 and then fell off the wagon so to speak and went back up to 135.6. I am back on the wagon and headed to reach my goal weight of 110 and I'm 5'0". If I get down to less than 110 I'm okay with that, as I was 104-107 before kids, just figured 110 would be realistic since I'm older and have bigger hips from child birth. The only unrealistic thing I'm looking at is trying to lose a majority of the weight in a short amount of time. This is only because hubby is out of state and coming home, will be here on our 12 year anniversary (13 May) and I want to wow him and him not recognize me when he gets off the plane. Plus the BIG 40 is coming up and my goal was to fit in this little black dress I had for my birthday. The only issue is that I already fit in the dress, so now I need to go find a smaller one to fit in. YAY!

I will only post before pictures, when I have amazing after pictures to post with them. Just sayin.....................

before, mid february:

after, beginning of april:


i'm happy with my progress so far, but i hate the pudge around the midsection. i'm really trying to hit the cardio hard. however, this is the lowest weight that i've been walking around at in about 4 years (190). i really wanna get to the sub-180 mark, but it feels so far away.

EDIT: ok i guess i don't know how to post pics

No opinions on my body? :sad:

4) I say my goal weight is 110 or lower because when I was 110 a couple years ago I still had that little bit of jiggle that I hate. Maybe I'm just picky but I'd rather be comfortable with my body. Another point here I used to be 110. That is not too small for me. That is my natural body weight (110-113). I have gained some weight in the past couple years that I don't like.
5) Those kind of tumblr girls who complain that they're fat when they're skinny are NOT the ones I'm talking about. The girls who are my inspiration are into eating clean, lifting weights, and promote overall healthy lifestyles.

I know I said to add your opinions about me, but some of your assumptions are very uncalled for. All I wanted to know is what to improve. Not know about how you think I look gross.

To 4) that's fair enough, but it still stands that 110 or below for 5"8 is underweight. Not only that, but building muscle is what you need to do to get rid of jiggle, not lose even more weight.

To 5) Apologies for making that assumption.

I never said you look gross so I'm going to assume that isn't directed towards me.

No opinions on my body? :sad:

I completely missed your pics! But I did go back and find them. :happy: You look like you are right on track! You have a body like mine, even when we carry weight we never really have those "rolls" and everything just looks smooth and curvy. You look like you've made awesome progress, and have muscle as well. How much more are you trying to lose?

Haha, thank you :smooched: I have no muscle, though, I don't think. I haven't been working out :blushing:

I have 44lbs left to lose. Seems like a long, long, long way away

Oops, wrong thread. I thought this was "fishing for compliments..."

Says the crazy cat lady...

I'm all for some honest opinions. Loving the feed back.

Don't. Change. A. Thing.

Seriously lol.

IF you really wanted to, you could put on a few lbs of muscle in your lower body, but otherwise, nothing.

^^agree lol

perfection!

Alright time to see where I fit on this one. Like another user earlier in this thread I just started a bulk cycle. So there will be some fat gain over the next few weeks.

Were you a swimmer? You have a similar build to elite swimmers. (not a bad thing)

You look FANTASTIC.

I hope people are still checking this thread! I want some opinions too!

mrsnathanandrew- your legs look awesome! I would show those babies off if I was you!

Hey all - I appreciate this thread. I don't think it's fishing for compliments at all - even if it is, who cares? Who feels good about their bodies all the time? I'm sure not many of us. Anyway - here's mine. I'm 5'10" and about 155 lbs or so. I lift heavy, but I've stalled at the moment and haven't felt like I'm improving much. This pic is from March. I think I need stomach help and a little inner thigh work, but I'd be interested to hear what you have to say.

TluvK- Wow! you are in great shape! I think the most impressive part of this picture is what I can see of your biceps. You must lift really heavy, and you have to definition to show it!

What kind of workout do you do for those SEXY legs?
