You could just step on your scales and we would know. Hard to gauge from the photos, but it looks like you might be a bit overweight, yea.
don't have any :L
I know youve lost weight recently, so well done. keep going!
Whats your goal weight/size?
I think you need to exercise more and have a good amount of veg and fruit, fish, meat, water etc, research a good diet!
Also its about stopping eating crap, stay away from crisps, chocolate, fizzy drinks.
Unless you stop eating crap and start exercising your never going to lose weight, theres a basic law in which if more goes in and less energy is excerted then you store fat, so you need to put in slightly less and use more energy by exercising.
:thumb:
please dont take offence to that because your about the same size as my wife who is also trying to lose weight.
But that's not really what you're asking is it? To answer your real question, "am I ugly?", the answer is no, you're really not.
size 10 or 12
thanks
it's basically because i get picked on, people say i'm fat so i thought to myself, make a post on thesite and i will get an honest opinion on there :d
thanks lol
Its not always about what u look like but actually how being over weight affects your health.
I think alot of people think its about looking slim.
First off you need to deffo weigh yourself then get online and find a bmi calculater thats a body mass index which will tell u if your overweight.
I am guessing at 5ft 3 thats u are quiet alot overweight.
Because i am 5ft 7 inch a size 8 to 10 and and i have a healthy bmi for my height and weight.
Goodluck and please please don't be dieting mad or doing anything silly because this never ever works for u to stay slim for life it just creates very unhealthy eating habits.
I would suggets slimming world it lets u take charge of what u are eating and choosing the right foods and cooking them properly.
An u will never ever be hungry (promise ) I follow this and i eat lots and lots and i am very slim x
But for being healthier, living longer, a good diet and exercise is strongly advisable :thumb:
I am slightly smaller than you and I get called fat, but I've learned from years of failed diets and an eating disorder that this is the shape I'm stuck in. I don't love it, but I don't punish it any more either.
I guess what I'm saying is that the question really isn't whether or not you're overweight because even medical practitioners agree on how best to define that, rather it's a question of learning what your body size and shape naturally is and finding a way to love that.
Good luck. Don't let the bastards get you down!
Get your weight if you can, you can even go down to boots and put 50p in those machines if you can't get scales And then do the test I posted, it's a good way to get your BMI without having to look at the confusing charts! x
Who is calling you fat? That's pretty rude... I lived with a man who was always telling me I'm fat and nobody would ever want to be with somebody who looked like me, but he was chubby too... I think people project their insecurities on others a lot.
If people are making you feel bad, or you feel bad about yourself, then lose weight. I wouldn't say you are fat, maybe your BMI is over what it should be.. but at the end of the day it's up to you how you want to be If someone's happy being 20stone, then that's up to them. But clearly, you aren't happy with your weight which is the first step to changing it. I'd say, write out a diet plan, go to the gym a bit, but take it slowly! Don't lose weight really really quickly, as it's not healthy or safe. Good luck with getting where you want to be! x
I agree, i'd rather have some weight on me and look nice and curvy than be skinny and bony :no: I worked really hard to put on weight when i was away, and i've just lost 3 pounds!! how??!! Grrrrrr :grump: I love having a bit of fat on my bones because i think i look nicer (who wants to see my ribs? not me thanks!) and i fit clothes better... ohh and i'm much warmer in winter :yes:
Damn right, curves beat bones hands down :cool:
I've heard way too many women with healthy, curvy bodies talking about how they need to lose weight as if beanpoles were somehow desirable.
:no:
and to answer your question on who's picking on me..
younger, skinner girls within my college course
guys seem to love my curves haha
