Just want some honest opinions.

x

you aren't fat at all :) but just out of curiosity,... what size pants do you wear?

NOT fat at all .... and if you do feel that you need to work out.. then do it ...but its not absolutely necessary ... just having an active lifestyle will do...  But do not starve yourself... eat right .. and don't ever go less than 1800 calories... You need it ... 

Four pages? Really? Four pages of gushing over this girl's body?

Jessiika, you are not fat, and you know it, girl. You wanna see something fat? I'll whip my ass out for ya.

Jeez.

- a

From an objective "artists" eye... You are beautiful! I love your curves, and if you lived anywhere near me I'd ask you to come pose/model for me.

Alright, at the risk of sounding like a total bch, I'm just going to put it out there.

1. I would like to remind everyone gushing about how good looking she is, she is an UNDERAGE girl posing in her UNDERPANTS. I'm only a few years older but dang people get it together.
2. And aaaaaaaaaalso, please jessiika, on a forum that has quite a lot of people that are trying to lose significant weight, don't you think it's a bit cruel to come here fishing for compliments?
3. A stone already?  For those of you who don't understand what a stone is or simply don't know how to use google, a stone is 14 pounds. So you complain that weight loss is so hard, but you've already lost 14? I really don't advise weighing less that 8 stone (112) really.
4. Plus at 8 stone your hips will only look more prominent dear. So if you're really truly looking for a different body. Please look less towards weight loss and more towards toning your body IF YOU MUST. So skip tons of cardio and super restrictive diets and more towards weights.
5. But seriously jessiika dear, please watch where you post the panty photos will you? That could certainly hurt you in the trying to get a boyfriend department.

There honesty. Sorry if it was brutal or anything.

Ummm... I respect your opinion ... but I would just like to share my view on your take... yes this website is full of over weight people trying to lose weight but its also about supporting and making one feel good about themselves...  if she does want to hear a few compliments just to make her feel good about herself ... its okay ... its reassuring at times and there's nothing wrong with it... 

Yeah she's a young girl posing in her underpants... but ... do tell me... who doesnt have bikini pics ? (I know that isn't bikini ... but still ) as long as she's comfortable .... If at all she wants to stop posting her pictures... I think it should be for herself and not cause some guy whom she may or may not meet might reject/judge her cause of it !! 

I do agree with you that she needn't lose weight and just a lil' bit of toning (if she thinks its needed ) will do .... 

If I am offending someone ... am sorry ...

omg!!! i hate you.........you have curves ..............................be happy

That was really polite, I just wanted to say that. I'm not offended by that post, but I just wanted to say that a huge number of us don't have bikini pictures. I don't.

1. Good point. Not that she was wrong in any way to post the picture and want validation, as everyone does, but four pages of gushing is a little weird.

5. No. I don't date guys, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say any guy neurotic and insecure enough to get his panties in a wad about where you post entirely PG pictures of yourself (where your face isn't even showing) is not someone you want to date.

You do not look "fat". By "fat" l mean, you look like your in a healthy BMI range. Remember, other people may be skinnier than you, but being skinny is no good unless you are healthy. Its better to be healthy and live a longer life than be too skinny and prone to diseases and body problems.

gosshhhh this is getting a lot of attention and you, jessika are getting a tonnnn of compliments. next time i feel fat im going to post a nudie pic of me in my panties. you are sooo not fat!! your not pudgy or anything, you have a flat tummy. you do have realllly wide hips. i dont know if losing weight makes your hips slimmer. it might make them look bigger.

 Hey erm... it wasn't in my underpants... my pyjamas. Plus before i weighed just over 11 stone and NOW i weigh about 140lb ish... and i'm not fishing for compliments... i find that quite offensive. Just because it's in my 'underpants', i just thought it would be the best way for people to judge my body... jesus!

You do realize that "toning" is just the process of decreasing bodyfat %?

It seems like a lot of people around here don't understand that.

The way you decrease bodyfat % is either lose fat or build muscle, and people who suggest building muscle don't tend to understand what that even requires (Eating ~800-1000 cals over maintenance, heavy and difficult lifting regimen, proper post-workout nutrition, etc). And since it's very difficult to gain muscle without gaining fat as well (Especially for someone new to the whole thing) building muscle wouldn't even be "toning" in this case, because bodyfat% would stay mostly the same if not increasing. So the only very doable way for someone new to fitness to "tone" is to... lose weight. It's not like the muscles just magically become more prominent because you lightly used them.

Seriously, your shape reminds me of those 60s bikini models... Raquel Welch, Bettie Page, Sophia Loren... they looked amazing! Most of us will agree they look gorgeous and even though today there is a trend for straighter and more boyish shapes, it doesn't make it any less attractive! That's the shape you have, for some you are lucky, for others less, but there is no denying that you got something special!

If losing a little weight will make you feel more comfortable, then go ahead, but don' t go hardcore dieting... just make healthy choices, exercise, take care of yourself so that you can enjoy your body as it is for many many years to come.

Still feeling insecure?

Cheers!

First of all, you are in no way fat.  I'm also 17 and heading off to college this summer, I'm a guy btw, and I've been fat all my life (like BMI of over 30) and I've only had one girlfriend when I was 12.  Finally working on getting healthy, but it's not instant.  I wish I could've gotten a girlfriend with that kind of body, you look damn good girl!  You're 17 and in college already?  That's cool, I'm going to be the same way, I'll be 17 my entire freshman year.  What college do you go to?

You're lovely - enjoy being that way!
