Okay here goes. This is my before photo. Halloween 08. I was extremely uncomfortable in this outfit. I was forced to wear it. I hope to have some good updates soon for my after. I want to lose about 20-25 pounds. Wish me luck. Be honest =)
 
This might be a matter of the way you see yourself... because from what I am seeing, you look great. What are your measurements? 20-25 lbs might be a bit much. Although, if you don't feel confident, then you should take the steps to reverse that. However, things look good on my end.

Good luck! :waving:
 
Well thanks =) I am 5'6 138lbs. It might be a confidence issue. I am trying to work on that as well as everything else. Good luck to you as well.
 
Sweetheart, you look amazing!
In my opinion, you're perfect the way you are. Still, I do understand how hard it can be if youre not satisfied with the way you look, and good for you for taking the steps to change it. I'm going to agree with the poster above though and say that 20 - 25 pounds might be too much to lose for your height. Just promise to keep it healthy :)

Much love!!
 
You look amazing at 135lbs. Do what ever your doing do be healthy. the image in the mirror will come along with that process

digging the tattoos.


good luck
 
You look great girl! I think loosing 25 would be way to much for you.. you have curves in the right places.. what about just toning up? Its so crazy how critical we are of ourselves.. you are beautiful dahhhhhhhhhling!

Awww thank you very much. I am def trying to lose/tone but nothing is really working for me. I have been doing the Body for Life Challenge for the past 9 weeks and I dropped a few pounds and toned up but no weight loss. I am jut gonna keep it up. It is crazy...the critical aspect.

Im 5'6 and my goal weight is 132. so 6 lbs lighter than you but if I looked like you I wouldnt even worry about the extra 6 lbs. Like everyone said you shouldnt worry about loosing any weight. You can tone up if we want you be tighter, you could gain some muscle...but seriously a lot of us would kill to have your body... I know I would...

Thanks. That means a lot to me. I am def trying to work on my confidence as well as tone and gain more muscle. However I don't want to be a bodybuilder chick. I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and idk what to do to make that happen. Nothing is working, but thanks for all the encouragement guys!!!:bigear:
 
You look WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I wouldn't want you to lose any weight at all because you are verrrrry beautiful
 
I'm so far beyond jealous of your body in that pic that I can't even believe you are trying to lose weight. Work on self confidence. Leave your gorgeous body alone...unless you're getting more tats...I'm all for that, Love.
 
Thanks everyone for the comments. It really helps. I am currently at 130 now. I still feel that I need to lose a little more, but we will see. I will post a new picture soon.
 
What are you talking about? You look fantastic. It's really hard for me not to hate you looking at this pic because I want your abs so bad. You look like a sexy strong healthy woman.
 
I think you look HOT! You get to be slender and have BOOBAGE!!! Do you measure yourself weekly too? That can really help out a bit too when we don't see movement on the scale. And taking monthly regular pictures. It's been awhile since your last post on here, but going from 138-130 seems to be working! Great Job!

Since our bodies are all very differently proportioned and we can't see EVERYTHING that you can from a picture, if you wanted to lose more, than so be it, as long as you're keeping it healthy, Why not? GO GOR IT GIRL!!! ;)
 
At 5'6'' (on a good day) and 165 lbs I would still wear that outfit and if you weigh 136ish..I don't see where you would ever want to lose 20-25lbs...That may be pushing it..You should test your body fat and realize how much of it is actually you. After doing my measurements I know that I am 119lbs (without the fat part) and on no given day as a black 26 year old female should I weigh 119 unless I want 0% body fat which I don't! lol....Good luck on your confidence chick.
 
Hey guys I am back! And nothing has changed =( I did lose some weight and got down to about 120, but that only lasted a week or so and since then I been back up to 138 (my starting weight). Its a battle. I am gonna give it another shot. I have been doing 1 hour of cardio a day in addition to my weight training. Wish me luck.
