Do you think its possible for me to look like this?

I'm sure some see me as an argumentative grouch but I promise I'm not. I'm not arguing and I'm not pissed off.

And this certainly isn't rare form.

It's just rare that people actually debate around here about a worthwhile subject so it's actually enjoyable to me. You have your opinions and I have mine. If you don't see my point, no harm really. But I'm sure some good can come from it one way or another.
 
Somebody (probably more than one person) said that it is important to be supportive and not negative, and I fully agree that we should be. However, with that said, I think we should keep in mind that the original poster asked the open question as to whether it was possible or not and to respond by telling her yes without telling her the possibility of no (because genetics does play a role in our body types) would be unfair to her. Not to say that it is impossible, because hey, maybe she has that body type, but nevertheless, even if she doesn't she'll still look great anyway so don't worry too much about the 'ideal' photo.
 
I like merry-go-rounds.




On another note, Steve I think ya got a tad bit defensive on Kasey and I don't think shes used to it. :D
 
I AM CALM.

TAINTLICKER I WILL MURDER YOU.

Yeah, it's not often we get to fight around here. Mostly people are just stuck in their particular ways and do their thing. The f~dawg is always ready for battle, though. But I assure you, I really am quite calm, and I try my best to be cumbersomely civil. While there's even the slightest chance of learning something, that is. After that I let it all out. :p
 
I was just a little thrown off guard. Instead of answering my logical questions Kasey brought up my level of calmness, as if he/she had any clue.

But :grouphug:
 
I'm chill, homie. Have been the entire time believe it or not.

Just calling it how I see it, is all.

Call a duck a duck.

An appeal to emotion an appeal to emotion.

I understand it's past now.... just despise fallacious reasoning within the context of argumentation. Especially when the identification of fallacious reasoning is misconstrued with being defensive.
 
Wow who would have known that in less than 24 hours, this post would be such a hit? LOL I was expecting to come back to 4 or 5 responds and then I saw 50's!! hahah! I like all of your advice and I believe you are right. When I lose all the weight, my body will be toned and I will be happy with it no matter what and will be happy that I can fit into my desired clothes. I just want to look good in a bikini for vacation!:party:
 
Hey also I always see places that doing situps and weights for your arms and stuff and lunges and squats are all useless because spot training doesnt work. Do you believe thats true? I do about 50 minutes of cardio 5 days a week but I like doing arm stuff with 5 pounds weights and situps and stuff like that. Is it a waste of time??

Spot reducing fat doesn't work.

But that's not to say resistance training is pointless. Quite the contrary actually. If your goal is to look tone, it's actually necessary.

I'd share some of this emphasis with weight lifting and diet.

Actually, to get a 'toned' physique I'd order things in this importance:

1. Diet
2. Weight Lifting
3. Cardio

but I like doing arm stuff with 5 pounds weights

This is pretty much pointless.
 
Why are weights pointless? Is it b/c they are 5 pounds? What if they are 8-10 pounds each? I don't even think I could go heavier than that for hand weights at this point!...:confused:
 
Just start out doing a weight that you can handle..i started out curling 10 pounds for working my biceps (4x12)...i am now up to curling 20 pounds (4x12)...you just start out with what you can handle...if you can do 4x12 (or whatever many sets/reps you do) and it was easy for you..then go up! Thats how you make gains!..but if you stick with a light weight and never go up..it will be worthless.
