Default PIC Thread!

Well after readin througha fair few of these threads, i simply dont think there ar enough pictures here!

So.. use this as a pic thread, either before and after pics, with stats, OR pics of what you REALISTICALLY would like to acheive.

No gassing, just pics!

Ill go first to kick you all off!

Since the age of 13 i have always battle with my weight... been big, then been skinny, been big then been skinny. I dont have many pics, but these few will give you an idea of how my weight and fitness levels go up and down.

This was me at my heaviest only 2years ago. Bang on 11stone:


After seeing this very pic i actually got off my arse and started to change my lifestyle. it took a while to notice any difference, but i altered my eating habits, and started walking (i know this sounds daft but it was a brisk power walk round a big block, which was more than i was ever doing)

Im trying to stick to my ideal weight of 9 stone, but currently at 9 and a half.





My IDEAL figure, would be something like this:


My legs are my problem! If i work on them, they get bigger

How you are now is perfect in my opinion, that second picture is revolting, absolutely far too skinny. Maintain how you are now

Am with Dan Maria, if you was that skinny you wouldn't look good at all!

You look perfect as you are now!

It's called constructive input, not 'gassing'. Don't go any skinnier than the beach pic.

I'll get some pics up in a bit, I'm down to 11.5 stone and have a tiny little bit of tone showing.

Can't say I'd noticed TBH. But if it's bothering you get something like a Bullworker and do chest exercises.

I like curves, adds to character and, again IMO, makes her look MORE like a woman than these size zero model types....

The picture of you on the beach in the sea, you look FANTASTIC!

As for me posting pics - yeah, you don't want that, trust me

If you're trying to get rid of 'flab' you need to burn it off by doing cardio - powerwalking like you've been doing, or running etc. Toning exercises will tone up what muscle is there, but won't get rid of whatever is covering it.

You look great in that last photo of you...much better than what you're trying to achieve in my opinion.

As you know my photography skills are shocking, so please excuse the poor quality.


This is me about 10 minutes ago. I've virtually lost the beer gut and in certain lights you can see a bit of definition. I want to lose about another stone and get a lot more toned.

EDIT - Deleted it by mistake, so had to do another one.

Hard work is always worth it though. You will lose fat if you do cardio.

Cycling's classed as cardio vascular isn't it? I'm gonna have to get me bike out this next week and go for a ride in the country. Although I need a more comfy saddle first.

M!!

Your looking good.......dont go to Jess Simpson size! This is from me and Michele! Michele said you look perfect as you are and she is ultra wise on female bodies.

I have jumped from 10.2 (I will dig out a pic and put it on!) to some serious weights over the years, yep, its not all natural but hey!! Ephedrine and Clenbutrol are awsome cutters although Eph makes me shake and feel ill with nerves, nothing that a Diazepam tab cant sort though!!

BTW..... Excellent tattoo's.......did the one on your side hurt? I want my daughters name across my arm, bicep area.....can make it look like a band as her name is the same front to back (forgot what its called, not symetrical?) Her name is Hannah.
