There is nothing male about that body!!! Toned yes but very female!! I'd honestly chew my right arm off for that figure and to be two month pp it's bloody unfair!!

Op never said she wasn't body confident I don't think what she said was she was shocked by her actual weight considering silly celebs who are far curvier say they are things like 8st.

Oh and some of the men iv been with have had incredible legs that I would have loved to have shaved and stuck in a pair of heels and suspenders just to marvel at lol. Then cry because they had better legs than me and my legs aren't that bad lol.

Op, just enjoy him, you look fab. Be happy. Peace.

nina2b · 05/06/2017 21:08

Lots of tattoos. Terribly distracting.

QueenMortificado · 05/06/2017 21:09

Hilarious that some people think that toned legs must be men's!

nina2b · 05/06/2017 21:09

Think the body is hard and masculine, too.

nina2b · 05/06/2017 21:09

Overly muscular is not feminine.

Holdingonbarely · 05/06/2017 21:12

The celebs are always 5ft nothing
And if you saw them in real life you would be shocked at how tiny they were
That's how badly the camera alters your body

VladmirsPoutine · 05/06/2017 21:13

nina2b Your bitterness and jealousy is rather amusing.

OP, you've clearly been sussed! Grin

MaidOfStars · 05/06/2017 21:13

Indeed.

Overly muscular is not feminine
I'm torn between 'Says who?' and 'So what?'

Raspberriesaretheonlyfruit · 05/06/2017 21:13

Righto. But how many new mum's on Mumsnetter have you seen with a c section , back down the gym after 8 weeks and posing in underwear on the Internet for strangers to comment on.
But we couldn't say anything is amiss because MTF are women.

Holdingonbarely · 05/06/2017 21:13

Apparently KK is 5ft 3

mogulfield · 05/06/2017 21:20

You look amazing Op! Very athletics and toned Smile

This!

Was a lighthearted, tongue in cheek post at my shock at my weight! overall response has been positive and quite a few saying thanks for fessing up to a 'real' weight and that they feel better that there are others feeling the same .... still, like anything, a few troll hunters having a go at a body type, I'm not crushed, its a shame we seek ways to tear each other down.... way to go for the sisterhood!

And Nina.... I dont care what your opinion of tattoos is, mine or otherwise

This is my friend's sister. Think what you like but I'd love to see one of you tell her she's not feminine to her face

Raspberriesaretheonlyfruit

Congratulations on your baby and fantastic muscles. I've just strarted weightlifting and would be proud to have such strength "even" if I had to be 12 stone. 😉😉😉😉

Seriously though - good point well made. Cracking body. Healthy. Weight is only part of the picture.

MaidOfStars · 05/06/2017 21:32

Aye, and a rather good one at that!

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 21:33

Urn forgive me op but in that photo with the baby you have some very visible tattoos on your left arm.

There are none on your left arm in the photos in the first post.

Unless you had them all removed in the last two weeks?

nannybeach · 05/06/2017 21:34

You cant have a BMI of 10.11, a weight not a BMI

Hey Babylon - good luck with it! I'll be dodging the scales for a bit.... nearly gave myself a bloody coronary!

Erin Stern is my ideal and is a lifelong non-steroid athlete.... she has Q&A videos on youtube which are great

The photos in the OP are in a fucking mirror.

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:37

CivQueen ..one pic is taken by my husband. One is taken OF A REFLECTION in the mirror, so reverses everything. My left arm is tattooed full length, my might only above the elbow. I know this as they are my arms.

Please, enough troll hunting eh?

Thank you Maid ..... fucking hell eh? Way to go for the sisterhood troll hunters.

PS - your sisters pal looks absolutely phenomenal... if she rocked up in my gym I'd definitely pick her brains for tips

CatsCantFlyFast · 05/06/2017 21:38

That's all muscle though. If I cba to get out of bed I'd counter your photos with my own. I'm under 10 stone and 2 inch taller than you, but with zero muscle and a belly. I'd much prefer your figure to mine
