This thread has just made me realise how much weight I have to lose!

I feel quite depressed now.....

I want to be slim....ish but not have to do 5 hours a week in the gym!

This thread has kind of made me feel what's the point, I'm never going to dedicate my life to the gym and strictly controlling what I eat all of the time so I'm clearly always going to be a fatty and might as well give up now.

You look great OP but tbh I think you already knew that!

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 19:46

Please, anyone, don't let this make you feel bad about yourselves.

Closely looking at the pictures in the op I think they have a very different body shape to the majority of you.

I really wouldn't beat yourselves up, especially if you've just given birth.

Sittinonthefloor · 05/06/2017 19:47

What an odd thread! Op you clearly have an athletic and toned sporty body. But seriously, why do you care? No one else does! It just seems such a waste of your energies to be so interested in how you look. It seems obsessive to me, and pointless, not a good role model for your child! if you were a friend of mine I'd be worried about your mental health. I don't want to be unkind but you've posted on a public forum and my reaction is that your lifestyle is unhealthy, self absorbed and boring!

I've also seen a thread very similar to this but on a different forum.

I'm not saying it's definitively you op, it would be hugely offensive if I'd gotten it wrong!

But it was a mtf who was talking about pregnancy and breastfeeding, and was basically getting a kick out of being complimented by other women.

spongebob5 · 05/06/2017 20:03

No idea , but you look great 🙂

Alwayshungryforcrisps · 05/06/2017 20:05

What's an mtf?

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 20:06

An mtf is a male to female transsexual I believe.

CrazyExIngenue · 05/06/2017 20:09

Who the fuck cares as long as you are happy?

verystressedmum · 05/06/2017 20:14

I wouldn't care if I weighed 32stone if I looked like that, you look bloody amazing!!

expatinscotland · 05/06/2017 20:17

This sounds like a back-ended sales pitch Hmm.

xrayyankeezulu · 05/06/2017 20:19

I weigh 8st 9lb admittedly I'm shorter than you but no where near as nice a figure & judging by pics no where near as fit either!

It's just numbers at the end of the day, doesn't take into account fitness diet or healthiness at all. This is what pisses me off about them doing kids BMI's

Shock

I wonder the OP is that same person from that forum?

Eppia · 05/06/2017 20:31

Please, please ignore the scales. You have an incredible figure. If we were the same height, you'd weigh more than me yet you look much more slender and infinitely more toned than me. So clearly weight means bugger all! I really don't think you should be aiming to lose anything.

Your boy is gorgeous too!

Raspberriesaretheonlyfruit · 05/06/2017 20:36

Why are you posing in underwear rather than gym wear? Obviously actually very body confident ....

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 20:36

Sittinonthefloor - no where have I said I was unhappy - its further up the thread. I think the assumption that I should be unhappy at being 12st was the point. I was unhappy when I first saw I was 12st but then after I made peace I thought fuck that, and this is what real people weigh.

No, thank you for wondering if I am trans or a troll, but - no. No other forum posts, my tattoos are quite outing to anyone that knows me, also havent namechanged, you'll see I was talking about being preg a few month back.

expatinscotland selling what? I'm on mat leave and sell software for a living. Hmm

You think I'm suddenly going to baff on about skinny tea or aloe vera!??

userbkffjyvcdbn · 05/06/2017 20:41

Confused is this pics of two different people? As legs are mans legs surely

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 20:43

Thanks Eppia he's a harder work than any job I've every had but he's just lovely and has turned me into absolute softie

OP posts:
Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 20:44

ha ha hahaaaa! they are my legs.

OP posts:
Magpiemagpie · 05/06/2017 20:45

Killdora
I was just thinking the exact same thing
The OPs arms look like a blokes especially in the side picture
Not saying that woman can't have very defined arms but to me they look like a bloke arms & so do the legs
Just my opinion though

Sorry OP if you are a woman

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 20:47

ha haha .... why dont you guys just look at my old posts rather than look for the unusual? Yep I'm woman, always have been.

OP posts:
Holdingonbarely · 05/06/2017 20:49

Ugh honestly

Raspberriesaretheonlyfruit · 05/06/2017 20:54

I'm not sure there is anything we could if Op is MTF. We aren't allowed to say anything that implies that such a person is anything less than female.
Posing in underwear included.

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:02

Lordy. Are there some real trolls you could go after? I shouldn't have to post this but here you go, my arm, my tattoos holding my son, born by c section late March.

Racheyg · 05/06/2017 21:04

Jesus op you look amazing. I'm 5ft 4 and weigh about 10st 5, and I'm very round :(

You should be proud of how great you look after 8 weeks. I'm very jealous ds2 is 2 and I still look pregnancy Grin
