are you guys serious? I've always thought my exes were just saying that to be nice ... but guys always gawk at the stick thin hollywood celebs/models .. so then I wasn't so sure. I was never skinny before, but I used to have a really flat stomach before I gained my weight. I always had the thick thighs/butt .. so I'm not sure how much weight I should aim to lose?
Totally serious. Not sure why there is a spotlight on the bone-thin women either. Someone must like them like that. I am not saying that 120 wouldn't look good on you, but you look great how you are as well. And yes, guys really do like women with your type of figure. More so imo than bone-thin.

Just wanted to say that you look amazing! You have a very well proportioned body, looks pretty firm too, not much fat that I can see. You're going to be drop dead gorgeous!! (think you already are...but even more when you get there).
Good luck with reaching you're goals!

That's the funny thing. The stick thin, crackhead looking women are the ones our society puts a spot light on..... however, none of the guys I know go for that sort of thing.
I like some curves and even some meat to my woman..
What he said. I've NEVER heard a guy say that stick thin women look good, only magazines and other women. You look great!

You've got a very nice body - Good shape and a cute butt! You'd look amazing if you did lose those 15 lbs though! As it stands, you have a lovely body.

I think you look terrific and healthy at your current weight! However, being the same height and nearly the same weight as you, I totally understand wanting to be slightly smaller.
I have found the guys' comments TOTALLY ENCOURAGING!!! Yay for guys with common sense, who like a gal who looks healthy with some meat on her bones! Let's hear it for women with curves! I know my DH sure likes mine
Best wishes on your journey,
ABBA

I am your height. I gained a lot of weight very quickly, and I am super depressed. At my best I was 123, then in a 2 month period I went up to 135, got back down to 129 and over the winter I have gone back up to 140!!! (actually the dr scale says 147) anyway I have been eating under 1200 calories a day and working out 4-5 days a week. I dont leave untill I have done 4-5 miles on the elliptical (buring about 500 calories) and light weight training. I am not losing a thing! It is so depressing, anyone have suggestions? The only reason I dont excersize 7 nights a week is because I work a second job waitressing, so I would say I am active.
What is going on with me??? I did just turn 30 but I refuse to believe its just my body going through changes.
(PS I think you look great!)

well what kind of calories are you eating? if it's a bunch of carbs then that's why!...BTW this needs not to be discussed in someone elses thread, it's not fair to the poster

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 5'3 and 148 lbs. I just can't get motovated like you though. I have gained like 25 lbs in the last year and a 1/2. Good luck to you and I would really like you (and me!) succeed!

Wow, you look amazing in that bikini! It's about what YOU feel comfortable with. Listen to the guys too, they know what they like! You carry your weight pretty evenly and your tummy is darn near being flat! I am jealous....lol! I am also lighter, but do not look like that in a bikini. Be glad that you can rock that swimsuit without a roadmap of stretch marks on your belly! Good luck sculpting the body that you desire, remember it's for you and you deserve it!
