And yet she is half my size (any idea approx what she weighs?!) and looks a decade younger than me.

I kid myself that because I am short every extra pound shows but 5 stones extra would show on anyone! Think that 120 might be a good goal.

Plus just making an effort - not even make up but moisturising and exercise and body brushing.

I feel fat and old and the hot weather has just made me realise how much I hate being fat. Just got to figure out how to beat emotional eating.

A quick google says she's 5ft 2 or 3 and 49kg, so 7.5 st. BUT she has won the genetic lottery!

If you keen to lose weight why don't you go over to the weightloss threads and find a support thread there? It can really help.

In the meantime a mani, pedi, haircut and eyebrow shape will make you feel more sorted. Tinted moisturiser is brilliant and will give you a healthy glow.

I was going to say about the same except to also point out that she is an actress. Her career depends on her looks. She no doubt has trainers to keep her fit and people who cook her little tiny meals to keep her "movie star sized".

Use her as an incentive to make changes if they are positive ones but don't beat yourself up about not looking like her.

Probably meals that you can't see without the aid of an electronic microscope. And I'd bet that they're all macro economic or bionic or whatever sort of diet that Gwynie's peddling recently

And no doubt her images are digitally enhanced. V easy for photographers to iron out any lines, blemishes, shave off a centimetre here and there, perk up boobs, etc.

I'm that height and weight but not that age .

7.5 stone!!! Only 80 pounds to lose then ........

Well I am not blonde or pretty either so I won't ever look like her!

I'm not sure comparing yourself to a preternaturally beautiful and slim woman whose job depends on her looks and has almost certainly been photoshopped into absolute perfection will give you a realistic goal....but 12st plus really is too much for a 5ft 2" frame. I agree with MissB - get on over to weight loss board and choose a long term WOE that you think will fit in with your life and onto s&b for grooming/beauty and clothes tips .
