What do you think of the Facebook posts where women post a selfie in leggings after changing size and a predictable chorus of everyone saying how great they look ‘babe’.

Were they such an awful looking friend before ?

Someone I know just posted before & after pics, I think she looks so much sexier before but I’m not allowed to say that right ?

I think the implication is and always has been that women look better if they lose weight. It's what's kept the weight loss industry turning billions of £ profit for years. Therefore if you've dieted successfully to lose weight people are going to tell you you look better or what's the point. From what I see and hear very few do it for health reasons

Depends on the context I guess. I've lost apprx 2st recently with 1.5 being since the sunmer. You do feel proud that you've lost that weight to me it feels like an achievement. But I've not posted before and after pictures nor update people on how much I've lost on Facebook etc. But I would but lying if I said I wasn't chuffed when one of the ladies in dance class, said I looked bloody good since I've lost weight.

Exactly this. I do think part of it is... when a woman loses weight, more often than not if she's been overweight, there's an increase in confidence. She wants to show off. Feels more confident in photos. Perhaps some women see that their friend is happier within themselves and wants to congratulate that?

I think celebrating achievements can be really nice. It's situational really.

If you lost weight and were proud of the achievment would you want someone to say to you "You shouldn't have bothered"?

I lost a huge amount of weight - for health reasons. I always appreciated when people I knew acknowledged how great I looked when I would post a picture. There's nothing better to have someone celebrating your successes in any walk of life - whether that be work, sport or health.

I think that generally there is a huge lack of understanding over what an achievement it is to lose a significant amount of weight by someone who had been obesely overweight for most of their life, and the sacrifices and efforts they've had to make to achieve their goal.

When I get the rare compliment of "you look nice today", I always think how shit do I normally look?

Also, Facebook is for all for the " wow babes you look amazing, you go girl!" comments. I avoid at all costs.

If the woman in question was losing weight to appear more sexy to some men she'd probably appreciate being told that she looked better *to those men* before.

If she lost weight for herself then she probably wouldn't .

Everyone is entitled to their opinion ..that’s the nature of the beast (good or bad)…. However to enforce your opinion onto their post, which they have clearly posted due to their pride of achievement, would not feel right in my opinion. There’s that word again, just my opinion on the matter.

I think if someone has worked hard and achieved a goal it's polite to congratulate them on succeeding.

If it's not something I necessarily agree with I don't need to bring them down with my opinion 💜

If someone has done something that they consider an achievement, dont be a cunt and shit on that. Your opinion on her appearance is irrelevant to how she feels.

I get that of course I am not against supporting and congratulating people who work hard to achieve their goals.

But posting ‘you look gorgeous babe’ I believe overall does more damage than good, reinforces that someone’s value & popularity is determined by how they look , size of tits, how much weight lost etc And drives on further and further into mental health problems, when they have a bad day etc, stop training , put on weight etc the voices in the head ate not going to be very nice or accurate

I think better to say something positive if they’re doing it for themselves.

Nothing wrong with losing weight and getting healthy, but social media and the press turn it into a popularity contest and that is unhealthy.

I care more about personality than model looks and wouldn't be seen dead with someone so vain. If you're a looker, fair enough, but if you're chasing likes then adios senorita.

I once had a boss who told me my knees would appreciate it if I lost weight. Which actually didn't annoy me, was a fair comment, just had knee surgery

I do actually agree with the sentiment. It's goes along with revenge bodies etc, as if the most amazing thing we can do as a female is be slim and attractive. I'd rather be praised on being pretty resilient or intelligent, but that's just me.

I was on a residential course once where a guy took it upon himself to tell me I'd look better if I wore make up. On another occasion a man told me my trousers were too big and they'd look better if they were a smaller size.

What earthly use were their comments to me?

I wouldn’t say you ‘have to be nice’ but would it not be better to write nothing at all than to take away from their achievement?

Again, this is just my opinion so what I say has no ballast over what you’ll write on their post … that’s your choice

We shouldn’t just go along with something that we don’t agree with…. But maybe their post wasn’t done for feedback? If they had asked for feedback like ‘what do you think looks best before or after’ then you could write your thoughts? To at way you’d get to explain to them why you chose it and they would understand as they had asked for feedback?

I’m intrigued, did you write this thread because you knew it would be wrong to post your thoughts on their post? Or was it a case of ‘most people agreed with me that I should write my opinion ‘ and so then you’ll post it on their post?

It’s all questions and discussions which is why forums are fun as it allows interaction and sharing thoughts which is always great

I suspect they thought that my reason for existing was to be attractive to them. Unfortunately quite a few men think that way about women.

The make up comment guy also told me he 'let' his wife play badminton once a week.

I know many of them , they would say anything for the slightest chance of sex. And none of them said anything about her achievements or congratulations on hard work they just said ‘wow you look gorgeous babe’ and posted emojis with eyes popping out in shock and big love hearts.

Women are normally just very polite to each other anyway.

Men would generally ask each other if they have Aids or something if there is weight loss or if they are in their 3rd trimester if a few pounds goes on.

Are we living in a world where we are not allowed to make a compliment? If someone has made such an effort, surely they should be congratulated?

No wonder people are always on about the ‘old school’ people. We could pretty much do and say whatever we wanted back then. That doesn’t mean we always did, but the politically correct police were not out hunting for us.

What a mess the liberal elites have made here. Everyone is tiptoeing around the sensitive types, while having to negotiate bits of broken glass…

She likely knew that was the kind of validation she'd get, and if not actively seeking it then was at least not fussed by the comments to leave them there publicly.

Very few people would be unaware of the intentions of such.

Or even worse the ones that point or even poke me and ask if I'm pregnant again, no I'm just ducking fat now!!

When I was slim I was too slim, now I'm larger I'm too large, people comment on everything they shouldn't.
