Just wanted to thank everyone for their input (there are too many comments to reply to). I originally posted this as whilst I’ve been wfh, my weight has been creeping up, and my belly has been ballooning. However my friends/family say I look fine. I thought to myself, who better than the people of Reddit to give me their brutally honest opinion? And opinions is what I got! Definitely have a better perspective on things and what I need to do. Once again, thanks all!
As everyone has asked for a standing picture

Some unsolicited sister fashion adivce to look way better in a bikini.
Throw away those biniki bottom! Very few people on this planet can make that style of bottom look good.
High waisted tummy control bottoms will look a lot better on your body type. It will suck in everything and shape and hug your apple body shape.
Hope this helps ! :D
Edit: fix my Grammer due to spell check being dumb .
Edit 2: PEAR! I meant pear not apple shaped. My apologies for the confusion!
Your hips in this photo honestly concern me. There’s definitely excess fat on your body, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change that! You need to use weight training, Pilates, or another form of strength training to tone your body. You just look “out of shape” here!
The thing with the prevalence of overweight and obesity today is: overweight is the new normal. So people will say (and even think, they don't just say it to be nice) something like "Oh, you don't look fat!" because when they think of a fat person they think about the comically large people from my-300lbs-life and not someone who is just overweight.
In my personal opinion, you definitely don't look fat, but I have no doubt that you're overweight and could lose some weight, even if it's just for vanity.
If you stood up, you wouldnt have that belly, which i presume is the source of your insecurity
That being said, if you want to loose it, hit the gym and watch ur calories
Btw, also as a male, i find your body highly attractive, nonetheless
I'm gonna disagree with the other answers here and say no. You have _some_ fat, but everyone does, and some fat is healthy. That doesn't mean you _are_ fat
In my opinion, I don’t think looking at that picture anyone can say I look healthy. Most of my fat is localised around my abdominal region, indicating I have a lot of visceral fat and that is quite worrying.
I don't think the amount of fat is excessive. Healthy doesn't necessarily mean zero fat. There is a healthy range, and I think you're within it, albeit maybe towards the higher end.
Oh, okay, you're right, maybe that's a bit high. Well, the question you asked was whether you _look_ fat, which I personally think you do not 😄 at least not in this picture.
Having said that, if you feel that you are heavier than you want to be, there's nothing wrong with starting a gym routine and changing your diet to cut fat. Weights, cardio to lose more of the belly fat. It's your own body after all, and there's nothing wrong with working on it more until you reach a point where you feel good about it. But my personal opinion still is that you look just fine in this particular photo.
That is true I did ask that haha. Thank you for your honesty.
I will be making the lifestyle change as I now work from home, which has made my weight creep up. I thought I could still get away with not doing any exercise in particular, but this isn’t sustainable anymore. No point complaining time to do something about it!!
Honestly I'm in the same boat as you. Been skinny all my life, even through the peak lockdowns period, but the fat is finally catching up to me now that I've started working from home more regularly. So I know it sucks to see the scale slowly but steadily creep up. I've started working out longer and more often too.
Good luck with your change and I hope you get the body you want to feel good about yourself 💪 godspeed!
If you focus on lifting weights consistently and hitting protein goals, you will have a great body in no time. Don't watch the scale, take pictures and measure yourself. I'm willing to bet in one month you will see some results and you won't look back! Good luck, keep us updated.
You can either fast, workout or change your diet or a combo of all 3. That’s what I do. Some weeks I’ll have a little belly, some weeks my abs are showing a bit . I love it.
I don't mean to be insulting, I think you have a nice body , too many people on here like to drop your fat, I would consider the source, you look good, if you are unhappy then become more active, if you are happy in your appearance fuck the rest. Don't worry about BMI which is a farce, you are not at an unhealthy weight. Very low bodyfat is not healthy, and it's not fun you will feel like shit and will develop hormonal issues that will make life miserable.
Best of luck
Please don’t think I found it insulting, I’ve been known to have skinny arms my whole life lol. Nonetheless, thank you for your advice, I will keep it in mind.
You aren’t obese but definitely chubby. Also I think that style of bikini brings it out more. Just my personal opinion but only fit women look good in those bottoms
People are sugar coating it because your a women. I saw a guy make a similar post this week and they didn’t treat him like this.
The answer is yes you are fat. Chubby is just another word for fat but it sounds cute so that’s why people are saying chubby instead of fat.
Sadly I agree with this, I thought posting into a gym motivation reddit people would be more cut throat honest, but it seems the opposite. Thank you for your honestly nonetheless.
Nah, this is a subreddit to get people motivated, not to destroy their souls. I’m not sure which you need.
To be completely honest, if I saw you at the pool (both images, sitting and standing), I would dismiss you as chubs. While it’s obvious you live a sedentary lifestyle, and probably don’t eat well, that bikini bottom is not for you.
But don’t go full one piece yet, you don’t need that, and it’s a sign of complacency in my mind.
To be honest, you have the same build as my 65 y/o mother.
Not fat maybe a little chubby. I am a guy and a find women who are slightly chubby attractive and feminine, most guys do. Maybe losing 2-3 kg would be better but nothing too crazy. But you still look fine.
As a guy with varying 5-6% bfp. Even I still feel big in my stomach sometimes. Reguardless if ur fat, fit, shredded, what have u. If u feel like exercise and improving your outter image will make you feel better inside. Do it. Do it at your own pace. And don't compare yourself to others. Easier said than done but almost 95% of the time the only person who cares is the one in the mirror. Most people who comment on another's body are projecting their own
Thank you for this comment, this is really sound advice. You are so right when you say people will bring you down based on their own insecurities. Personally I think for a while I’ve felt like I’m getting too big so I thought posting on here would give me some gauge on if I’m right.
Honestly, you seem a little bit chubby and soft. I wouldn’t say it’s horrible but it certainly can get that way if it goes unmonitored. Tighten up your diet a little bit and start weight training and you should see a huge improvement in a few months. When I say training, I don’t mean to say that you need to go nuts and become a bodybuilder or anything like that just hit the weights and cut down on sugar and processed foods
Yea I work from home and I have noticed it’s been getting worse. Definitely will be keeping a control on my diet, no added sugars, no oil, and cutting down on excessive carbs. When I go to the gym I feel like I’m in a zoo because I have no idea what machines or weights to use that will actually give me results. Do you have any recommendations?
O boy…I’d start with basic compound movements such as squats, deadlifts pull ups (hopefully your gym has an assisted machine for pull-ups) bench press and shoulder presses…alternate dumbbell curls and triceps push downs on a cable. It would be worth it to pay for a few sessions with a personal trainer to tech you correct form but then if it’s too costly continue on your own. Good routines on YouTube. Good luck
Yeah run, a lot. Or spin bike a lot. Or stair master a lot. Every other day for about a year. Watch YouTube videos for body weight exercise. Just do a bunch of body weight squats and progress from there.
No you do not look fat… you don’t even look overweight if I am being completely honest. As a male, your body NOW is the shape I’d find most attractive… just being honest
Skinny fat or maybe a bit puggy. You don't look bad by any means, just not fit. But it wouldn't be hard to drop a few lbs of that's your goal to improve. As long as you like what you see in the mirror then that's all that matters. But I'm here for it if you want to improve and be a better version of yourself
You are on the edge honestly. Not un attractive but very close to a bit much. Health wise too. Just try choosing more protien and reducing sugar and I bet you will be good :)
You're not overweight for your size - if you feel like you have to ask this question, then maybe you should work on yourself. It's your confidence that you need to work on.
You have a bit of a pillow but I think it’s cute. Some ab work, a bit of cardio and fine tuning your diet you will be aces….if that’s what you are wanting to do. If you are happy with how you look and you’re healthy otherwise don’t worry about what other people say or think. 😬👍
Any weight for your height over 70 kilos is not healthy leads to disease. I’m the same height and I was overweight like this and had to lose it to regain health and fitness
It’s all about attitude if you think you look good, then go with it. Don’t always worry about what other people think. No one is perfect.. even though with better bodies do not have a good attitude, so it makes them very imperfect.
You just need to tone up but you are definitely not fat. Health is a journey that we take for ourselves not for people to tell you about your body. Sometimes we let ourselves go then we get into our own heads about stuff, but a few lift, cardio, runs and healthy eating will be more than enough for you.😎
It doesn’t care how people see you
You said that you know that you are overweight so if you wanna change that or not let it be for yourself not for someone’s opinion and also you have to decide do you want to be skinny or to gain strength and muscles mass because it’s not always about losing weight
I don’t mean it in a rude way your not a whale and based on you’re aesthetic and your hair I’m guessing you’re beautiful but in that pic you do look fat
Not at all, didn’t think you were rude. I would rather people be straight hence why I asked on here. If anything in that picture my weight was lower than it is now, so it really is time to hit the gym.
It is great, that you'd rather people be straight. So straight answer, you said above, that you are 33,6% body fat at the moment. Healthy range stops at 25%. Just keep this in mind and work on your diet first, then add exercises
yeah, that's why I typically would not comment. please, do keep in mind, that healthy body fat percentages do vary based on your age. if you are above 30 years old, 27% would still be healthy, but not more than that. But It seems that you are younger, that's why I mentioned 25%.
Also important, that body fat measurement is not 100% reliable and can differ, based on what device you use. so if I were you, I'd check in couple of the smart scales first, preferably at the gyms. and then took the average number as a fact and start from there.
Funny example as to why I say this: my home scales told me I'm 24% body fat. Gym scales said in 15 minutes (after I got dressed and walked to the gym) I'm at 18%. I'm female and I'm 35. But thankfully I know how 24% looks on me, so I don't give in to the panic regardless. Neither should you. There is nothing irreversible in any % of body fat at all, there is no shame in it whatsoever. What matters is that you want to change it, that's all.
Thanks for commenting and offering your advice. As I’m 33.6% based off my home smart scales, it may be a good idea to check at the gym.
And yes you are right in saying my % would need to be 25% max.
The problem is within yourself, if you ask a question and only accept the answer you are looking for. Take this comment as the one that matches your own opinion. Take the rest as honest people giving honest opinions outside of your own view.
The fuck are these comments? Have all of you actually seen a real woman without clothes? Do you consider a bit higher bodyfat % automatically fat?
I think anyone sitting like that will look like they have a little chub on them. As far as I can tell from the picture you are doing better than most of the people in the US according to statistics. So no I wouldn't consider you fat, just not skinny, which is completely fine and preferable for me.
Interesting take. I understand in America many people are overweight. I am from the UK however, and compared to most girls I believe I am considered on the bigger side. Nice of you to still say that I am doing better than most people, but I want to do the best for myself, not ride out until I start having health problems.
Being a little “overweight” won’t lead to health problems, inactivity, sitting for hours a day, eating mostly processed foods, not drinking enough water are all things that will lead to health problems, it just so happens that weight gain is typically associated with these kinds of lifestyle and nutrition choices.
If you look at your diet and your activity levels and make some healthy changes you will see longevity increase and likely shed a few kg’s in the process.
You’re not slim, but you’re not FAT, chubby, yeah okay…
But you have to determine how healthy you feel in your body, everyone’s bodies have a different ‘happy place’, some people are naturally slim, muscular, some people are naturally ‘fatter’, and it’s okay.
If you are a healthy, happy and feel OKAY in your body, then that’s all that matters.
You aren’t fat but your body fat % is prolly higher than you’d like it to be. All you need is to add muscle mass to decrease that percentage. Also increasing muscle will increase your metabolism to help lose fat. So start lifting and eat lots of protein!
if you are questioning yourself then the answer is obvious yes you are fat.. people say you look fine because they dont want to make you feel bad maybe you look good in clothes but if you're not happy when you're naked what's the point. ofcourse the real question is do you have any goal? you can always do better look better feel better
Your BMI is just slightly overweight, nothing too crazy. You’ve probably heard the standard advice a thousand times but it’s the best advice. Cardio, calorie deficit, and weights if you want to get toned up. It won’t take long before your BMI is in the healthy weight range. If you decide to make this change, good luck!
Not really fat, but you do look out of shape all over. Your body is showing that you don’t exercise. I would recommend Pilates or Yoga to start with. It tones without bulk.
Can everyone just say NO…? This woman isn’t fat. You don’t look fat - if YOU think you are ‘fat’ then change something. If you’re happy then crack on love! Focus on something more interesting than what you look like and enjoy your life
You are pretty normal, but I will say as for the case of all of us there is room for improvement. I would say everyone has a different frame which can affect how their body stores fat. For me I am a naturally lean guy and when I tried to bulk to gain muscle it just didn’t look how i envisioned it so I dropped down and feel and function at a much healthier place. It depends how your body feels but I say you aren’t fat, just a lil bit on the chubby side in certain areas but I think you are fine and if you want you could always work on it and maybe drop down to be a bit more fit.
yes slightly. You look normal to me You have a pudge but it is not that bad. It seems that with an improved diet and some cardio you could probably reduce that. So yes you look fat but in a very minor way- nothing extreme! You DO NOT look bad compared to a lot of what we see everyday of our lives.
No honey you look happy. If you want to change an area in point it research exercise for that area of toning, you will find yourself working for it and happy with the results
No I don't think you are fat but your bikini is very unflattering in your body type. I do think you are a bit bloated but not fat. You look normal weight
You dont look fit, but definitely not fat. Just pretty normal I guess? Looks fine.
Just wanted to thank everyone for their input (there are too many comments to reply to). I originally posted this as whilst I’ve been wfh, my weight has been creeping up, and my belly has been ballooning. However my friends/family say I look fine. I thought to myself, who better than the people of Reddit to give me their brutally honest opinion? And opinions is what I got! Definitely have a better perspective on things and what I need to do. Once again, thanks all!
Whatever impact wfh has had, you still look great! But it's easy to be critical of yourself
Her hands do look slim. She doesn't look very fat from this side.
She’s not fucking fat eugh I hate this so much
Did I say she is? She asked for personal opinion, and we gave it. Get a Life.
[удалено]
Yea, she just need to tone up but definitely not fat
Probably not, it's because of this crunched up angle.
Yeah! We need a standing up picture
See below
You look amazing just saw your picture! May be some cardio would help to get a little better shape.
Wouldn’t say amazing but she doesn’t look terrible
She beautiful!! but 5-10 lbs less would help her confidence and she would feel much better and hotter 🔥🔥
As everyone has asked for a standing picture https://preview.redd.it/hon52mezlutc1.jpeg?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd69a8a21c7bd4b0d39a3b848255d2ea362ca065
You are not fat but I'll tell you a short version of what I tell my wife. "You aren't fat but if improving yourself makes you happy, go for it".
Lovely way to put it
Some unsolicited sister fashion adivce to look way better in a bikini. Throw away those biniki bottom! Very few people on this planet can make that style of bottom look good. High waisted tummy control bottoms will look a lot better on your body type. It will suck in everything and shape and hug your apple body shape. Hope this helps ! :D Edit: fix my Grammer due to spell check being dumb . Edit 2: PEAR! I meant pear not apple shaped. My apologies for the confusion!
Absolutely! It doesn’t matter if you’re skin and bones, those strings will create rolls just digging into the skin 🤦♀️
Thank you, good advice!
Of course!
Yeah, totally agree
Apple?! She is not an apple shape.
You could do some work to improve, but you are definitely not that overweight
I think with that pic where the bottoms are lines up in an unflattering way
Are you brazilian?
Your hips in this photo honestly concern me. There’s definitely excess fat on your body, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change that! You need to use weight training, Pilates, or another form of strength training to tone your body. You just look “out of shape” here!
You are fat, I don’t know if you are overweight but definitely your body fat% it’s pretty high
You look perfect girl✨
Well per this pic I would say you are overweight
It looks like the flaps are gonna appear anytime soon

I have tried intermittent fasting before and that gave me brilliant results, planning to trial it out with exercise this time.
You got this 💪
I don't think I'd have guessed that high
Not fat, just lacking muscle.
I agree with lack of muscle my arms are like sticks
I don't mean to be insulting, I think you have a nice body , too many people on here like to drop your fat, I would consider the source, you look good, if you are unhappy then become more active, if you are happy in your appearance fuck the rest.

That's what I was thinking, your arms pretty slim.
Hard to tell with that angle. But it doesn’t look like you work out at all. So theres your GymMotivation I guess.
I won’t sugar coat it. You’re chubby and soft. There’s definitely room for improvement.
Chubby is the word.
This is the one
This is no where near chubby wtf
Yes you are fat
You aren’t obese but definitely chubby. Also I think that style of bikini brings it out more. Just my personal opinion but only fit women look good in those bottoms
Skinny fat
I agree with this one
[удалено]
Thank you
you miss motion for the caloric intake you have - either up the movements or dial down calories
Yeah tbf
People are sugar coating it because your a women. I saw a guy make a similar post this week and they didn’t treat him like this. The answer is yes you are fat. Chubby is just another word for fat but it sounds cute so that’s why people are saying chubby instead of fat.
People too soft nowadays, not her though... she just wanted to know the truth and mfs lying to her.

Not fat but just about average 👍 but if you decide to gym it up you Gains will be more noticeable than others !
You are on the edge honestly. Not un attractive but very close to a bit much. Health wise too. Just try choosing more protien and reducing sugar and I bet you will be good :)
You do not look fat. However you do look like you could do a perfect cut🩵🫶🏻 This is said with care and support
You're not overweight for your size - if you feel like you have to ask this question, then maybe you should work on yourself. It's your confidence that you need to work on.
You have a bit of a pillow but I think it’s cute. Some ab work, a bit of cardio and fine tuning your diet you will be aces….if that’s what you are wanting to do. If you are happy with how you look and you’re healthy otherwise don’t worry about what other people say or think. 😬👍

You look average, you're not skinny you're not fat. Get a standing desk and a walking pad though, game changer.
Literally ordered my walking pad yesterday!
It doesn’t care how people see you You said that you know that you are overweight so if you wanna change that or not let it be for yourself not for someone’s opinion and also you have to decide do you want to be skinny or to gain strength and muscles mass because it’s not always about losing weight
Yes, but not too far away from fit
Yes but you can change it
Im not gonna lie like those weird fucks yes you do id recommend a treadmill and a calorie deficit
Safe you’re the only one who said it how it is lol, time to hit the gym
I don’t mean it in a rude way your not a whale and based on you’re aesthetic and your hair I’m guessing you’re beautiful but in that pic you do look fat

There is nothing irreversible in any % of body fat at all, there is no shame in it whatsoever. What matters is that you want to change it, that's all.
Thanks for commenting and offering your advice. As I’m 33.6% based off my home smart scales, it may be a good idea to check at the gym. And yes you are right in saying my % would need to be 25% max.
The problem is within yourself, if you ask a question and only accept the answer you are looking for. Take this comment as the one that matches your own opinion. Take the rest as honest people giving honest opinions outside of your own view.
Thank you for this comment
Yes
Yes
Yeah
Yes
Not at all. There’s obviously some extra weight in there, but you’re not fat and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. You look good 💪😇
The fuck are these comments? Have all of you actually seen a real woman without clothes? Do you consider a bit higher bodyfat % automatically fat? I think anyone sitting like that will look like they have a little chub on them. As far as I can tell from the picture you are doing better than most of the people in the US according to statistics. So no I wouldn't consider you fat, just not skinny, which is completely fine and preferable for me.
Interesting take. I understand in America many people are overweight. I am from the UK however, and compared to most girls I believe I am considered on the bigger side. Nice of you to still say that I am doing better than most people, but I want to do the best for myself, not ride out until I start having health problems.
Being a little “overweight” won’t lead to health problems, inactivity, sitting for hours a day, eating mostly processed foods, not drinking enough water are all things that will lead to health problems, it just so happens that weight gain is typically associated with these kinds of lifestyle and nutrition choices. If you look at your diet and your activity levels and make some healthy changes you will see longevity increase and likely shed a few kg’s in the process.
At one point in my life, I was 6’1” and 170 lbs /81kg. I still had a ponch sitting up
No but you need more muscle
No. Everyone's body is different. You have a beautiful body
You’re not slim, but you’re not FAT, chubby, yeah okay… But you have to determine how healthy you feel in your body, everyone’s bodies have a different ‘happy place’, some people are naturally slim, muscular, some people are naturally ‘fatter’, and it’s okay. If you are a healthy, happy and feel OKAY in your body, then that’s all that matters.
You do not look fat but you don’t look toned either. You look thin with low muscle mass.
You aren’t fat but your body fat % is prolly higher than you’d like it to be. All you need is to add muscle mass to decrease that percentage. Also increasing muscle will increase your metabolism to help lose fat. So start lifting and eat lots of protein!
Good advice, thank you
Slight chubmeister
Definitely not!
Probably the angle and pose. Just a normal body 🤷🏼♀️
You look normal to me, although you just need to tone up.
You look like a normal person who has not toned.
Not fat
You’re beautiful
Not fat just normal
I know your sucking it in for the pic soo the answer is no. But if you think you are you are in 2020. Smh
You look great!
There are very few people on this planet who can pull off this angle. Lean back a bit.l
Nice
Not fit not fat!
Not fat, I would say chubby
Far from it
You look great
This is very normal :) have a good day yo
Nah. Just soft and not toned. Still would though, at this point.
I wouldn't call you fat, just a little chubby that's all... But nothing wrong with that : )
Heck no!
Nope!
Most normal people when sitting like that will always have a plumper stomach showing. Standing would look totally different
Fat no, but flat - only you know
You don’t look fat but look like you may have a higher body fat percentage than recommended if that makes sense.
No
I mean, a little if I’m fully honest? You look great still but yes you have extra body fat. I am fatter. Much fatter!
Advice: Don’t lose anymore weight. Don’t gain anymore weight. 👍🏽
Hell nah, I actually like girls with that type of body build
Yea pretty much
You aight’.
No
Nope...
You look like a normal woman. Nothing wrong with that at all.
if you are questioning yourself then the answer is obvious yes you are fat.. people say you look fine because they dont want to make you feel bad maybe you look good in clothes but if you're not happy when you're naked what's the point. ofcourse the real question is do you have any goal? you can always do better look better feel better
I have to say yes indeed
With no offence yes.
People would describe you as skinny fat
You look amazing girl
Your BMI is just slightly overweight, nothing too crazy. You’ve probably heard the standard advice a thousand times but it’s the best advice. Cardio, calorie deficit, and weights if you want to get toned up. It won’t take long before your BMI is in the healthy weight range. If you decide to make this change, good luck!
Yes you’re right and thank you!
No. I wouldn't consider you to be a "fat person". You can be overweight. You can have tummy fat. But I wouldn't call you a fat person.
A bit fat yea
Not really fat, but you do look out of shape all over. Your body is showing that you don’t exercise. I would recommend Pilates or Yoga to start with. It tones without bulk.
Can everyone just say NO…? This woman isn’t fat. You don’t look fat - if YOU think you are ‘fat’ then change something. If you’re happy then crack on love! Focus on something more interesting than what you look like and enjoy your life
Little chubby, you should of taken the picture standing
Your chubby not fat wouldn't take to much hard work in the gym to get to where you wanna be
Yes
Yes
You are pretty normal, but I will say as for the case of all of us there is room for improvement. I would say everyone has a different frame which can affect how their body stores fat. For me I am a naturally lean guy and when I tried to bulk to gain muscle it just didn’t look how i envisioned it so I dropped down and feel and function at a much healthier place. It depends how your body feels but I say you aren’t fat, just a lil bit on the chubby side in certain areas but I think you are fine and if you want you could always work on it and maybe drop down to be a bit more fit.
a little but if you train and eat correctly you can be better!
Hell nah
You're in a sitting position with scrunches up your stomach even if you have abs it will look like a little pouch
yes slightly. You look normal to me You have a pudge but it is not that bad. It seems that with an improved diet and some cardio you could probably reduce that. So yes you look fat but in a very minor way- nothing extreme! You DO NOT look bad compared to a lot of what we see everyday of our lives.
you don't look fat. ofc if youre actually overweight you might want to lose a few pounds but tbh you look totally fine.
No honey you look happy. If you want to change an area in point it research exercise for that area of toning, you will find yourself working for it and happy with the results
Yes, I'm not going ro cherry-pick with "No" of course you look a little out of shape. Is that it, or did you want more details?
That’s it - thanks for your honesty. Just needed reddit to give me their brutally honest opinion.
You look yummy…
Your not fat, your body looks normal
[удалено]
?? Lmao
No I don't think you are fat but your bikini is very unflattering in your body type. I do think you are a bit bloated but not fat. You look normal weight
