Do I look awful? Or is it in my mind?

[Anonymous]

First off please don't be rude
Secondly if you're going to be rude at least be original about it the you're fat thing is old so isn't whale walrus elephant etc
I'm not posting this for attention or for compliments I just want some genuine advice and opinions
Obviously the opinion is if I look really bad
You don't have to go into extreme detail with it it's simple yes or no, I mainly ask because I'm meeting my boyfriends parents next month and obviously I can't lose 30 pounds in a month but I can lose about 10, I want to be someone he's proud to show off, he thinks I'm beautiful now but I'd hate to be known as his "fat girlfriend".
Also I'd like to know what types of exercises I should do, I do go to the gym with him and weight train I also like to walk our dog a couple miles a day and sometimes I'll run with the dog instead of walk or I'll ride my bike for a couple of miles.
Anywho here's the link: https://tinypic.com/r/2drdvv5/8
And please be respectful this took a lot of courage that I don't really have.

You do have a great body! BUT if you really feel uncomfortable with yourself and want to lose some weight, doing it right now is the best thing to do! Im talking from experience, i needed to lose weight a few years back, and instead of losing the 15 pounds real quick, i became lazy and gained 60 pounds in a few years. I've lost it now, but i wish i could go back and lose that little weight before it became a big problem. With the shape of your body there is a pro and a con, the con is that if you gain weight you're going to gain it all in your stomach, hips, and thighs. the pro is that if you start working out and eating healthier, with your body shape, you will always have sexy curves! just because you work out and try to lose weight, doesn't mean you'll become a ugly stick, you'll still have sexy curves. my advice is to slowly start eating better, not perfect, but try and be healthier, and go for walks everyday, or get some workout dvds, like jillian micheals, they are about 10 dollars at walmart. and dont ever try and lose weight for a boy, his family, or anyone else, because you will never be able to do it or stick with it if you're not doing it only for yourself and your happiness. good luck!!

I think you look good. Maybe lose 10lbs ONLY if you feel that it will make you feel more confident. Meeting parents is always tough but I'm sure if your bf loves you his parents will too!(: most parents just want a girl who treats their son right and doesn't dress like a hoe. I think you'll be fine (:

[chuckyegg]

You don't look bad at all, just need to tone up now.

I think you should consult a personal trainer at the gym that can tailor a programme to what you want, and how you want to look.

Us gagers could give you so much advice on what exercises to do, but at the end of the day, you need to learn the correct techniques or risk injury, and certain exercises will be ineffective if not done properly.

Keep up the good work, it's great to see people taking responsibility for their bodies and actively doing something to combat fat.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! For real though? You look great, if I were your boyfriend I would tell you to gain some lol. Skinny chicks are boring, full figured women are where its at, my GF is about your size (heavier becuase of her boobs) but I dont want her to lose anything! The media is evil, dont pay attention to those bulimic models.

[Asker]

Thankyou so much :)

[CheesinIndian]

by the way my ex GF (soon to be fiancee) is 6ft1, 1 inch shorter that me. My ex in high school was 6ft2, both were volleyball players, thick, very attractive to me (and a lot of men) dont worry about it, you are at a size most women would kill to be at! If he actually thinks that then you need to find someone who loves you for you, and not what vogue says you should be like.

[CheesinIndian]

WERK IT GURL lol

[aShyGeek]

YOU ARE NOT FAT! You look good. I understand that there is a lot of insecurity out there, I'm there too and don't have the courage to put pics online like you. Just know that you have a great body and it is one that most girls would envy. Don't let anyone tell you different. Trust me if you were my girlfriend I'd show you off to everyone.

[Asker]

Thankyou so much :) that's nice to hear

If you wear the appropriate clothes, you can hide the fat. I see you already know you need to lose 30lbs, and that is great. A tip for your weight loss it to apply olive oil to your whole body, and drink a lot of water to reduce saggy skin, I see you already have a little of that problem.

[healthybeauty]

honey, please dont put olive oil on your whole body. and this dude has no idea what he's talking about!

[Asker]

I only drink water, I don't like soda or juice I can try the olive oil thing, I used to be 250 pounds got down to 150 then back up to 175 so it might just be saggy from the large amount of weight lost but I could be wrong

[h4teful1]

Why not put olive oil on your body healthybeauty? That is great for your skin. And your skin looks great, for the amount of stress it's been under. Just make sure you take care of it.
Also, congratulations on your weight loss.

[AverageWhiteBoy]

she has to lose 30 pounds? What are you retarded? she's not fat bro. If she wants to lose the weight in a healthy way than all to her, but its not necessary.

[h4teful1]

Are you retarded? She said she knows she needs to lose the weight. Why should she be fine with okay, she should strive for a great body.

[AverageWhiteBoy]

She asked for our opinion as to whether she needs to lose weight, and your basically saying she needs to because she's fat. I'm not telling her to not lose weight, nothing wrong with that. But you shouldn't make her think she's 30 pounds overweight

[CuriousBlackGirl]

I don't see the 'saggy skin' that guy is talking about & the pictures are very clear. He's probably looking to hard to see something wrong. You're fine. But if you're super worried look into fashion that focuses on making you look slimmer.

[CourtJester]

Not at all, far from it. I'll ask for them digits :)

[zombiebabe]

dudette you're not fat you're curvy... and you don't look bad

[Anonymous]

I was expecting a 300 pound obese person lol. You are more than fine. You have a very attractive body type, own it!
