i have a question about before and after pics. Er... Several questions lol. When I started dieting back in January I never took a before pic. Then I started scrolling thru looking for anything I could use. All I found were borderline racy pics. I found a couple in my dancer clothes like one with a bikini top and skirt and another with a corset and booty shorts. The one that shows the biggest difference is a pic in just a bikini bottom and my top... Well... My hands are covering. I realize I can't post any of these but is there a way I can make it so that only my friends see these pics? It's not that I'm trying to show my body to everyone so much as I just need opinions...
U see when I look in the mirror I feel that I look pretty much the same. My waist is smaller and my boobs are wayyyyy smaller, so much that I look awkward. My waist was even slightly curvier and now I'm just straight up and down. My butt basically dissapeared and not in a good way. I just have these big thighs now that look so weird...
I guess what I'm really getting at is do I have the option to get others opinions on here? Maybe I looked better before I was dieting. My man says I look better now but why am I not feeling it? The weight loss has been so frustrating that I'm wondering if I should just get implants to even out the top and bottom or put on weight and hope it doesn't just go to my belly and thighs. And maybe the mirrors are deceiving me idk. Just been dealing with this awkwardness for about a month now.

    I know MFP won't let you post pics but maybe try uploading your pics to photobucket and sharing the link with a select few? I understand the awkward feeling-I'm considering implants (small, modest ones) too but I want to wait til I'm at goal weight before I do. When I was heavier (about 180), I was more of an hourglass (size 34D!) and now...well, I'm not sure. I'm about a 34B though nowadays. :sad: I have my recent before pics at 150 pounds on my profile-I've got no curves anymore. Is that what you're dealing with?

    Maybe you can post a link to a private photobucket album made for this, and post it to your newsfeed for your mfp friends to see? Set a password so only they know,

    people have different taste. there was recently a controversial success story thread, and some people said she looked better in her before pictures. personally, i thought she looked skinny fat in her before and a lot more fit and attractive in her after.

    I envy people with small boobs!!! I would trade places with you in a second, believe me. Don't get implants, it will throw off your equalibrium and could cause back problems. Not to mention all the issues and risks with plastic surgery and staff infection. If you've lost weight but aren't happy with your shape, try using circuit and weight training to sculp it. Do not think you have to look or be shaped a certain way to be attractive. You are how you are meant to be and that's beautiful.

    I can completely understand the different tastes. I've seen it before at my job where the guys preferred the heavier set girls. I know when I go back to dancing I want to make sure the majority would find my body attractive. Nothing worse than feeling all the weight loss was for nothing. I know I'll run across a few of the girls I used to know and they'll be more than happy to express their opinion lol

    Could you maybe doctor the photo to cover more before posting it? Photoshop or something?

    Aww that's sweet thank u! I do work extra hard on my chest muscles hoping to plump them up. And I know it's super controversial but I've even thought about using a low stress approach and positive thinking to make them a little bigger. I know I would need to gain a couple extra pounds to try it tho. I know u can't choose where u lose fat but lowering cortisol while u gain fat just might do something. Like I said... Super controversial but it couldn't hurt.

    I thought of that. Maybe put my kindergarten style art skills to the test in a goofy way =P

    First off, congrats on your weight loss :) Just curious on what kind of exercises you are doing? Perhaps you wanna change it up a bit to kinda hit the target areas.Such as doing squats will definitely lift your booty and side leans will help create a bit of a curve in your waistline and lunges are great for your upper legs. Either way, keep up the good work and you are absolutely beautiful :)
