Have I put on weight? *Pictures*

Do you weigh more than you did?

There's your answer

Thanks. I plan to get healthy and excerise 'til I drop!

Walking is crap exercise on its own

100 calories burnt per a mile walked, hardly crap is it? Plus its rather easy and accessible to most people regardless of age or fitness.

But the whole idea of exercise is to shape your body, keep you healthy, get strong etc....losing a couple of hundred calories you may as well just eat less.

Better off lifting weights or HIIT...at least you will get a nice shape to you.

She's already explained that she doesn't use scales so they wouldn't tell her if she'd put on weight. Also, scales ARE the best way to tell if you've put on WEIGHT literally, but in this case it seems OP is just concerned about how she looks. You can get flabbier/less toned and your weight can change very slightly or even not at all, depending on your muscle tone, build, exercise schedule.
I know this due to my own experiences-my job is quite physical, and I run regularly. In times past whenever I have time off work and/or don't run (eg when I've been ill or something) I don't put weight on at all, my weight stays the same or even has dropped slightly in the past, but I definitely look different, and feel flabbier around my middle especially.
Regards the first post, I think you have put some fat on around your stomach area, you still look great though. It creeps on easily so it's good that you're thinking about it now so you can nip it in the bud before it gets more difficult to manage.

Yes. I imagine most women would still like to have your figure though.

Please read my post were I explained this! I rarely weigh myself, therefore I don't know my 'usual' weight, so getting on the scales doesn't mean anything to me. And I'm a bad judge at how much/if any weight I've put on. Hence this thread..!

True, but I still think that is a useful cardiovascular exercise and something that gets the heart pumping, better than nothing. On top your of exercise routine I would always suggest walking and avoiding public transport/driving where ever possible as it helps keep you in shape. If you are young its all fine and dandy hitting the weights and doing circuit training and what not, but for older people I think that walking is a great way to get in shape.

I read it, answered your question best I could and also offered my opinion that scales would give you a far better answer. Don't be so precious.

On a tangent - you don't know your usual weight, therefore the reading would mean nothing? By that logic, you should never do anything new, as the outcome would mean nothing.

The fact is, if you're serious about maintaining a good weight scales and potentially calipers are needed to give you a definitive answer.

If you're just after a kick up the backside, then an internet forum may well work for you. If so, that's great.

I'd caution however, that there is danger in asking people to choose one picture over another. Unless they're taken at exactly the same time, same place, same quality of light, with the exact same posture and ideally the same food/water intake in the previous few hours, then they're not very reliable. For example two or three pints of water in the hours before a such as that is taken could skew the answers somewhat.

I think the real question here is why you had naked pictures of yourself before, did you anticipate you would gain weight in the future? Hahahaha

But seriously lifting weights would help anyones physique, male or female, by tightening everything up, I recommend you start squatting/deadlifting.

oh my...it looks like u ate 100 hamburgers

Oh my...that's charming.
