BEFORE photos

[melody2008]

Hey all,

I am new to this and just started atkins. I am posting "before" photos. But I think I am going to do it with a twist. I'd like to get feedback on how much I look like I weigh instead of posting my 'before' weight.

So here they are .. I'm 5'6" what do you think my starting weight (current weight) is? Any feedback would be helpful.

Re: BEFORE photos

Since I'm 5'8" and my body is very similar to yours, I would "bet" for 150 +/- 7 lbs.

Re: BEFORE photos

I'd say between 140 and 150. You don't need to lose weight per se, you just want to tone up with more muscle. You look HEALTHY!

Re: BEFORE photos

i'm not into the guessing game. weight does not tell the whole story.

Re: BEFORE photos

I agree... you don't look overweight.

Can you resize your pics by any chance? Big pics make us dance around to read the posts! Tks.

Re: BEFORE photos

um. i don't think you need to lose weight. You have pudge- which prolly makes you think you need to shed pounds, my opinion is that you just need to exercise- hit the weights. You need to tone.. not loose poundage. You'll just be a smaller version of you.. you'll still have pudge unless you use weights

Re: BEFORE photos

I agree with CanIDoIt about the weights! Toning up makes a huge difference. I can't really say anything about your weight because everyone says that I don't need to lose anymore weight. I'm just not happy where I am and think that I could stand to lose a few more. You look like you're fine at your current weight. I'm sure I do too, but I still see the fat girl when I look in the mirror. I do have some pudge of my own and I've really been working on the toning part. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I have really seen some exciting changes in my body in the last ten weeks. My 'problem' areas are slowly disappearing! Give the weights/exercise a try for six weeks and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Re: BEFORE photos

You and I are the same height, I'm thinking you're maybe 140 pounds?? I agree, I don’t really think you should lose too much more weight. Maybe 5-8 more and then tone up really good. You look great now!

Re: BEFORE photos

haha, glad someone said what I was thinking.

The way it was posted just reminded me too much of a couple of friends I have that constantly need to be told how thin they are, prett etc. When i wanna smack them, i remind myself they are just insecure and need the praise.
Sorry, off on a rant, not saying thats wht this posters intentions were. been waiting for her to come back but this was the only post shes made.
