My mike and me are healthy eaters too. He went on a major diet last year and dropped like 50 pounds in 3 months. He is so hot! There are lots of great pics of him on the website right at his *almost* best. He got a little bigger than the pics on the website, but he looks so good!

Hey gaby, if you do exercises that tone your legs and thighs, you'll get rid of that cellulite. Like running and walking up hills...I have a whole bunch if you'd like to know the rest I can email them to you. It's too hard to explain on here.

Gaby losing weight won't necessarily help with the cellulite, however like blu said, exercizing will! In fact I wouldn't even suggest weighing yourself or seeing how much you weigh because my friend gained 20lbs but lost 4 dress sizes because of muscle and such. Often when you exercize alot you gain weight but lose inches Smile hope things work out for the both of you just dont obsess and stay healthy
love

Yeah that's true because even uhough I weigh 115, my tiighs cant fit into my omd jeans because I gained muscle from working out. It doesn't look bad tho, my legs look a lot better now Smile. I've!realized that I can't change my body type, only the tone of my body. So what I like to think now is...I may never have a long skinny figure, but I cal tone what I alseady have! I'd never be able to have nice slender legs...It's just not my body type, and i've never had slender legs. I dol't have fat legs either, but they aren't the hollywood long slender ones either/ But ya know what? That dmesn't bother me, because i've got the whole j. Lo thing going on!! Lol. I'm serious! My stomach is almost flat again and that's pretty much all i'm worried about now. I know there's a good chance i'll probably never fit into my size 5 jeans again, but that's not because i'm fau....That's because having ethan made my hips wieer. Which a lot of guys find sexy actually! If you look like a stick, most guys will overlook you anyway...They like to have a little meat on their women! Lol. I wouldn't stress about it too much gaby. At least you don't have these ugly stretch marks! Lol.

Well congrats!! I can't wait to have my flat tummy back again. I have stretch marks on my stomach, boobs, thighs, butt, and hips Shocked . I didn't really get any until my last month of pregnancy, but my mom's went away after she had me and my brother and my brother was big!! He weighed 10 pounds!! So, i'm hoping that it's herditary and that mine will go away too. I know that they say you can never get rid of stretch marks, but my mom's really did go away. I'm hoping for the best!!

O gosh..Cuz yea a 2-3 would be so terrible..... Peoples size perception is way off and I definitly see that now, I mean I know I might be a hypocrite having an e/d an all (but I am getting over it , or trying to) but I mean its people, and the media. If people dont think a 2-3 is 'small enough' no wonder people strive to be skin a bones!.. Umm I think a 2-3 is very small, and it is. People just have the wrong idea, and are trying to be too tiny and have a unrealistic perception of what weight looks good.

Well to me, a 0 can look gross. If ur not naturally there, then your not supposed to be. I rarely have ever seen a pretty healthy girl in zero's. Less their naturally like that and cant help it. I am 5'8 and was 100 lbs at my low point in my eating disorder over the summer, and I tohught I looked better like that. .Then I see pics now and im like ''i look gross'' and everyone thought I did. I was wearing 2's then I believe but I mean its a little different cuz im so much taller. U prolly look good in 2-3's. .But I cant say id think girls look great in zero's. ..

Lol! I could never fit into a zero, I never have. I've always been size 5 since I can remember, but now because of my hips i'm at a 7...But i'm not complaining. I think i'm doing an excellent job of losing weight the healthy way and I actually have more respect for myself now and I like being able to lift people's spirts and tell them that it is possible to lose that much weight!! I'm living proof that you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight! It takes a lot of hard work, but in the past 3 months i've lost 30 pounds and am now back down to my prepregnancy weight. It's such a good feeling...Now if they could just invent a miracle cure for stretch marks i'd be set Laughing !
