Olga Sherer – Nordstrom October 2010 Catalog
October 19th, 2010
Posted by Skinny Gurl
Here is the lovely Olga Sherer in the Nordstrom October 2010 Catalog. I was really surprised to see Olga in the Nordstrom catalog, it just doesn’t seem like her type of work. Yes, she looks lovely doing it, however I prefer to see her doing high fashion editorials or on the runway.
Olga just looks so ordinary here, not the distinct and fierce girl I’m used to seeing on the runway. Sorry for the rant – hehe. What do you think about Olga’s work for the Nordstrom catalog?
On another note, I’m a big fan of the boots she is wearing in the featured picture : )

she’s lovely <3
yeah she really is, but she doesnt really suit that style of work..
she suits all the high fashion work she normally does. I like her catwalk. pretty though of coursseeee

I think she is wonderful. Her face is so elegant
her legs are incredible!
love love <3
ps have you made the skinny gurl baby food diet plan yet? thanks

Wow, she looks amazing in that grey dress! I do think it’s strange that she’s doing catalogue work. Seems like a big step down, but I’m sure she’s being paid a fortune to do it.
yeah you’d really be surprised how much one catalog shoot pays..
it’s good work if you need the money, or just seems a good offer sometimes.
i just really dont think she suits it.

I agree she looks wonderful in the grey dress!
Her neck looks so elegant and long in the 4th picture.
<3
gorgeous. I love her hair! that colour looks amazing. And I love her little tiny arms…
she’s my favorite,
love her in every picture
thanks for posting again!!!
HI everyone…..I NEED HELP……….!!!!!!!!!!!!….SKINNY GIRL I NEED HELP…………URGENTLY IM A MODEL OR AT LEAST TRYING TO BE ONE…BUT MY WEIGHT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE I NEED TO LOSE 26 POUNDS I AM CURRENTLY 130 POUNDS AND 5’10FT I VE TRIED EVERY SINGLE DIET………PLEASE I NEED HELP………SOMEONE………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SKINNY GIRL PLEASE HELP ME…………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go vegan, do yoga, take long walks, and drink TONS of water. Try to stay away from caffeine. Don’t drink sodas, even diet sodas. The carbonation can make you bloat, and often times the fake sweeteners in them trick our bodies into craving more sugar. Don’t let people tell you fruit is too carby. That’s bull shit. It’s fruit. Eat it. Have fruit by itself for breakfast or as a snack. Drink tea after every meal. Just be healthy, and you’ll lose weight. Seriously. And it doesn’t wreck your metabolism. You are so tall and slim already, I’m sure you look beautiful. Please be careful and set a healthier weight loss goal.
yeah its really not rocket science…
sorry not trying to be rude but I find it annoying when people say “I’ve tried everything and nothing works” no, you’ve tried and then given up. Any diet will work it you stick to it.
But as HB says, its common sense; reduce calories, increase exercise, drink water etc.
And be honest with yourself. It took me years to lose weight but thats because I knew I was giving up/not trying hard enough, not blaming it on the diet or plan – if you’re not honest with yourself you will never be able to change your behaviour and lose weight.
Sorry if that was harsh, I am trying to help
xx
I perfectly agree with every word. Motivation is the key.
her legs and face are amazing, she looks too sophisticated to be doing catologe work, tho. p.s. those clothes are FUG!
I agree with the clothes being fugly.. I don’t understand the people who said they like the grey dress, I think it’s a really bad shape and the color isn’t flattering either..
The fact that SHE (totally skinny) does not look slender in that pants suit means I will not even consider it! Other than that, she looks lovely.
I’ve a skinny gurl tip for you: Tomato sauce. Make a big pot at home, so that you can control what’s in it, or read labels carefully so that they contain only the minimum of ingredients. I usually try make a gallon each time, or more when tomatos are cheap, and freeze in small boxes with enough for a day or two.
It’s only 103 calories a cup and you can add lean, ground turkey to make a bolognese; a sliced up, boiled carrot for a chunky tomato soup; spice it differently with thyme, garlic, basil, chili, and so on, and you’ll vary it a lot with little effort; with a few pieces of ravioli and just a tablespoon of shredded cheeze, you’ve a delicious supper; warm or cold in a termos it makes a great bring-along-lunch; or you can make moussaka or diet lasagna; google “low calorie tomato recipes” and be inspired!
It’s a stock-product, easy, cheap and low on calories.
What a skinny icon! She is a tiny princess! People who are really skinny have a delicateness about them that is simply magical. Thanks for this great post, keep up the great work! I hope you had a wonderful vacation, where did you go?
XOXO,
MulanVlada
I agree with want2bnvied, she is too sophisticated for Nordstrom, maybe a friend over there asked her to do it? Of course she looks absolutely stunning, but these clothes doesn’t look right.
p.s.: feel free to correct me if I wrote anything wrong, my English is not perfect yet…
I agree- she was probably doing someone a favor, or owed them something.
And your English is good
thanks! I’m studying sooo hard…
Actually, most of a model’s work is for catolog. Whether it’s victoria’s secret, nordstrom, or even macy’s, it’s a way to earn money, and lots of it. Models wouldnt have enough money if they only did high fashion jobs. So, YES, Olga Sherer probably did this NOT as a favor, and of her own accord. Your whole “holier-than-thou” attitude is annoying me.
we were just guessing, jeez… read the whole discussion now. who’s got the holier-than-thou” attitude?
@ thinspired
woaaahh chill out no need to be narky
remember your manners
you do. i was just pointing out that it’s very pretentious to say that catalog isn’t good enough for her.
Oh just chill out for goodness sakes! What is ur problem? F.Y.I VS isn’t exactly high fashion, so don’t even compare it. IMO Olgar must have been doing this just because. It is utterly unlike her as no one her age or even high fashion wud ever wear anything from that catalogue. Not unless ur a boring wife of a politician.
If you don’t like the comments, then go else where. Period!
Still on this? Boring! When is SkinnyGurl coming back? We need a new topic!
your the one that needs to chill, naeomie, ok? I never said VS was high fashion! I said it’s catalog, which is a LOT of a model’s work that she gets!!!
VS isn’t boring, at ALL. Lots of high fashion people wear it. So, shut up. It’s a good way to feel sexy–and if you dont’ YOU are the boring one, ahah.
what do you wear? grannie panties? i bet, you seem like such a bitchy prude.
are you freaking kidding, thinspired?? You are totally ruining the whole lovely community we have going on here. One of the things that keeps me coming back to this site is the fact that MOST of the girls on here can disagree with each other and still be respectful.
There is no need for you to attack Naomie personally and suggest that she wears grannie panties? or whatever?? get a life.
lmao ignore her ChloeS. These ones come and go. You know how they are. Having said that, where is skinny girl, we certainly do need a new topic, I’m tired of seeing Olga’s mumsy outfit everytime I log on. (Oops! Beware of thinspired
)
Anyways, hope everyone’s doing great. Maybe we should go back to the Magdalena Frowaciak topic (did I spell that right?) it seemed more “user friendly” Lol. I’m in a cheeky mood tonight. Had a great workout and am feeling pumped!
please stop. what good are you doing by just popping up only to snark and bitch? give it up and add something productive to the discussion, and everyone will forget about this. it’s not actually important.

model’s breakfast, read it !
Je ne parle pas francais
Click on the little banner on the right. You can choose between Am and Fr.
merci!
ah dommage… i mean its too bad, i will translate this later, i don’t know when because i live in france and the hours are not the same
Its okay if u don’t have time, the pictures were good too! Models eating are fascinating…
great piece! there’s an “english” option at the top right corner
Translated to English
“Breakfast dummies -
At a time when “Picture Me” on the big screen reveals a facet of lackluster fashion world and while some models on the catwalks have never looked so diaphanous, Harper’s Bazaar devotes a section to the composition of breakfast a few tops, just to maybe kill off the clichés too systematically associating thinness and eating disorders …
Contrary to what one might think, infinitely slender legs and plastic free of any trace of fat models are not necessarily due to a draconian regime that put their health at risk. For most of these globe-trotting fashion, low BMI is due in fact more by genetics than by the composition of their base.
The Apple Menu / champagne believed to be the common lot of Sylphs spotted on the streets of the capital during Paris fashion week is also actually quite distant from their reality: every day, those who were chosen both their bodies as untied their pretty face does not look all allow themselves to starve, and rightly step breakfast …
Diuretics, fat burners, amphetamines and other appetite suppressants, and some prefer a more nutritious diet a bit: while Jessica Stam set his heart on a banana accompanied with peanut butter, Liu Wen opted for pasta with sesame and Abbey Lee for a large fruit juice and a lawyer.
And if Anja Rubik passes turn, Chanel Iman consumes about it one of the most complete breakfast consisting of eggs, oatmeal, fruit, toast and yoghurt.
In other words, if one can not deny the pressure of the agencies on the models (which they impose a more irreproachable line), it seems that some girls were still able to grow a relatively healthy lifestyle, emphasizing the duo sport / balanced diet to diets irresponsible.
In the end, whether taking a small lunch may seem trivial to the average person, it is important that the younger generation adulating Freja Beha & Co become aware that even the models in vogue prefer not to skip this meal particularly important for Health …”
haha was this an auto translation? very funny! just so people know abbey apparently eats an AVOCADO not a lawyer! it’s just the same word in french
Haha
I was a little confused as to why Abbey had resorted to cannibalism.
this traduction is pretty good (exept the lawyer ^^) thank you !
LOL @ lawyer! Avocado definitely makes a LOT more sense!
what site did you use for this?
I’ve read somewhere as well that Chanel Iman actually does eat a very normal diet, obviously more healthy, but not as restrictive as people like to believe. She was doing an interview when the interviewer said she chowed down A MASSIVE cheese burger with drink! Yup.
Because a lot of people struggle with weight, they find it so hard to believe that there are indeed people who can live on chocolate and caje 24/7 and not add a thing. There’s this thin girl where I work who scoffs biscuits all the time. She lunches at KFC most of the time cos she hates to cook. And pple keep asking her how she does it. Thing is, she has no muscle mass at all, just straight and thin like she’s about to snap in two.
At first I used to get so annoyed just watching her eat because I envied her so much, now I admire her for not being as neurotic about food as most people are. She may not be eating her fruits & veggies or drinking her 2 litres of water a day or getting one hour of exercise a day, but she has her sanity, which is something that a lot of dieters lost along time ago.
Yes, loss of sanity… I know mine flies out the window every so often when confronted with an un-cooperative scale or (for ex right now) bags of halloween candy everywhere… However living off KFC makes me worry for her arteries and cholesterol!
Sorry, that word was cake, not caje
second paragraph line 3.
Thx.
Yeah thanks leslie
its rly interesting to read about such variation… Its like all the skinnys on here: some swear by less than 1000cals/day while others eat up to 2000cals/day.
**fake pic deleted**
I just found this pic of Senja. sorry but that’s horrible! I would never want to look like that in a million years.
it’s photoshop. It’s not her. Look at the light between her collarbones and the torso. Not the same color. Gross by the way :/
Ugh I do not understand why people photoshop images like this. Scare tactics… Something like “global warming”…
…. you actually thought that was a real picture?
lol.
you can find pictures of Snejana in bikinis she does not look like that, it’s obviously photo-shopped.
haha, that’s bad photoshop. it’s disturbing, but made me laugh. here’s a look at snejana’s body~
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/ranebo_star/Other/tdresizes/00760m.jpg
her head looks totally misplaced. It’s a joke actually, with the word Elle to mean something like “bony” in spanish. It’s not a very good joke.
I adore the shot in the grey dress. Shows off her perfect figure and curves
Don’t let people tell you fruit is too carby.
That is sooo true! I used to eat lots of fruits (for almost every meal) and then I read about carbs and everything and stopped doing that. I thought that will make me fat, but I was the skinniest in my life then. So try it – fruits for breakfast, at 11 AM, for lunch, at 4 PM and an apple for dinner.
I think skinnygurl deleted the comments above mine…now it doesn’t make sense! lol
anyways the “models breakfast” translation haha so funny made me laugh.
@Mew its so true, its different for everybody. There’s no way I could eat 2000 cals and maintain my weight. But I don’t ever eat less than 1000
p.s. So glad you’re back skinnygurl!! xxx
Hi Girls!
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me.
I have been running a bit everyday, and whilst this is working wonders for my midsection and overall weight it is making my legs bulk up which I definatly don’t want!
My calves are becoming gross!
Does anyone have any suggestions for other workouts or how to stop this!
I am reluctant to stop running because on the rest of my body it is working so well, my stomach is flatter and overall I am much more toned then I was… but my legs!
Frustration!
Try ballet workouts, there are tons of videos on youtube, they’re supposed to make your legs look lean… I have the same problem, and I’m trying this, but I can’t tell you if it works, I’ve just started… Hope it works for you!
Thanks I will check it out!
Im planning ti loose some weight, what do you guys think is the perfect weight for me, im 171cm tall?
I think 105-108 lbs (47-49 kg) would be a really good weight for your height. but it also depends on how old you are, because teens can weigh less and still be healthy while its harder for people 18+ to still be healthy at low weights. So whatever you do, make sure you loose weight the healthy way!! (:
WHERE ARE YOU SKINNY GURL?? COME BACK:)
I agree… I need a new post…especially a new starving tip of the day.
Totally agree! Miss your posts SG!
Yikes! She really needs some high fashion looks to bounce this one back.
Lol
that’s so funny.
Reminds me of the catalogues that my mum gets and I read out of boredom.
Hi! I’ve been following this site for a few months, and I find it so inspiring! Just love the that you’re all about dieting the healthy way:) I’m struggeling a little with my weight loss though – I startet dieting two years ago( when I was 18, and didn’t know much about it.. I cut down to 700 kcals a day, and then ate less and less until I wasn’t eating more than 300 kcals. I lost a lot of weight the first 6 months, but then it stopped and I didn’t know why. I tried to increase my calorie intake a little, but just startet to gain weight agian.. and i havn’t been able to get the weight of since then:(
Now I’m eating about 600-700 kcals (not doing any exersice) but don’t loose weight! actually I’ve gained:(
What am I doing wrong?
Do you think it would help to increase the intake?
I’m afraid I’m eating too little, but I’m also worried that I have to, because I have probably slowed down my metabolism due to too little kcals the last few years:(
It would be so nice if you had some tips for me! Maybe some of you have experienced the same thing?
Love Maria <3 (sorry for such a long comment:P)
hey maria
I would say that your metabolism has probably slowed down. The best way to deal with this is to kick up your calories to about 1000, as well as doing some exercise in the morning which will get your metabolism going. After a few days of eating at 1000/1200, switch it back down to 500. Then the next day eat 600, then 700, then 800 adding on 100 calories every day until you get back up to 1000. Keep repeating this cycle.
Eating this way keeps your metabolism guessing and you won’t experience that “slump” which seems to be what you are describing.
Also, if you are worried about weight gain when you increase calories, try cutting back on carbs like bread & potato and even fruit. Try to get most of your calories from protein and vegetables. I think if you do this you will find you can still lose weight but eat a bit more. (- doesn’t work for everyone but worked wonders for me when my weight loss stalled)
Also, it is very important for us skinny girls who are on low calorie diets to exercise. Just 30-60 minutes a day of cardio is enough. (but feel free to do more!!
the reason for this is that exercising speeds up your metabolism and keeps it going strong during the day.
Hope that helps!
Thank you so much Chloe:) I’ll try that! Really hope it helps, I’m starting to get a little desperate now, as you might tell:P I’ve never weighed this much you see, not even befor I startet dieting.. Really weird. But I will definetly start exercising again:)
I’m 5.5 and 123 pounds, by the way! Hope to be 105:)
hey maria, how much have you lost so far? 300-800 kcal/day for 6 months would result in such substantial weight loss!
thats the thing, as I described earlier, I lost about 15 pounds the first months. But then it stopped, and I tryed to increase a little but gained right away. I just dont’t understand why, because I never go over a 1000 kcals(exept when I’m going out..) and up until three months ago I exercised at least three times a week.
But all the weight I lost has come back, and I cant seem to get it off.
In a normal day I’ll eat:
B: 2 wholegrain rye crisp breads and a low fat, no sugar youghurt and a cup of tea.
L: 2 crisp breads again and an apple and water.
D: 150 g chicken filet with steamed carrot and brokkoli.
Whats wrong?:P It’s driving me crazy!
The reason you gained after upping your calorie intake is because, as a result of not eating properly before, you put your body in starvation mode, prompting it to want to hold on to any additional calories it can. 1000 calories per day is simply not enough, especially since you claim to be active by exercising. Generally speaking, 1200 is the minimum recommended calorie intake of a grown woman (teens require more). You should eat even more than that on days that you exercise because it sounds like you aren’t fueling your body properly. Additionally, depending on how long you’ve been crash dieting, you’ve probably messed up with your metabolism. It’ll take a while to adjust, so initially, losing weight the proper way will be slow (but far more effective for long-term weight loss). And that’s truth.
Yes, i know.. that is what I’ve been afraid of. But what should I do to correct it?
maybe what’s happening is that your body is just not used to this low cal intake, so that every time you eat, your body holds on to the food thinking its starving. maybe what you should do is find a good diuretic, like activia yogurt, to flush out your system and keep everything movin! haha. hope that helps you (:
What does not drinking water do to weight loss?
sabotages weight loss because most of the time, thirst is mistaken for hunger and you’ll end up eating more at your next meal without realizing it. most people snack/binge when they’re thirsty too.
water will never be retained in your body (unless you have a medical condition) because your kidney produces anti-diuretic hormone according to the volume status of your body.
not to mention being dehydrated is just about the most dangerous thing you can do to your body.
Do not even consider it for a second. Your body needs water to live.
No way – I wasn’t considering dehydrating myself for weight loss. That’s kinda stupid. People always say, “drink a lot of water for weight loss” and stuff. So yeah, just wondering about the main reasons behind that (:
something to do with flushing the toxins from your body i believe. When your body metabolizes/burns fat as you lose weight, there are chemical reactions involved and waste products are created and need to be flushed from the body.
as well, when you get dehydrated (as was mentioned above i think) it is often mistaken for hunger, or can make you feel more fatigued – which in turn lowers your ability to resist any cravings as well as making you crave more sugar or fast energy foods. All of which result in consuming more calories. As well i should imagine (just logically extending from this) that if you are feeling crappy due to not being well hydrated, one may not feel like getting off the couch and hitting the treadmill etc.
Sooooo… lots of reasons that I can think of? :p
Good!
sorry if I sounded bossy I just got a bit worried there for a second because I have heard of silly girls restricting water just so they can see a lower number on the scales.
if you remember from biology in high school when you learn about ATP and expending energy, you need water to use energy. So to actually use/burn calories water is involved in the process. I don’t remember the exact chemical equation
And as mew says quite rightly it is used to “flush” toxins and waste from your body – your kidneys do this and they need a LOT of water to function properly. Whenever you feel thirsty it is your kidneys telling you they need more water to get rid of toxins.
hope that helps! xo
Thanks
I’m not sure.. I tend to forget to drink throughout the day – maybe drinking about 1,5 litres a day! Do you think that could be it?
i don’t know about you guys, but stick-like models never appeal to me. i love those who are skinny but with tone, like eva longoria, miranda kerr
I like models to be really skinny or “stick-thin” as you say, because they just look like these amazingly waifish, elegant, out of this world beings and I love to look at them.
But for “normal” everyday people and actresses I think women usually look better as you say, with some tone and muscle, plus its healthier.
I definately second that. When I see a really thin model like person in real life, I do a double take, but switch on fashion tv and I see Vlada looking so pale and thin and I think “aah, lovely Vlada”. Funny.
I’ve never seen a model in real life, but am very curious as to how they really do look. I’d love to see one of the serious ones for real though, like Poly or Vlada, or Chanel Iman, now thats thin.
I’m lucky because there’s a model in my art class and she provides really good real-life thinspo for me. she is SO SKINNY. not bad-skinny though; gorgeous skinny. I could probably fit my hand width-wise in the gap between her legs. she wore a skirt once, and it looked like if you kicked her leg it’d snap in half haha. the only down-side is she acts really stuck-up, like she knows how beautiful she is and you’re not worhy of her attention. I hope the famous models we all love aren’t like that :/
I was in Bondi earlier this year and as I was walking across a lane I noticed a girl who looked familiar, I realised it was Abbey Lee!
She smiled and said hello to me and my grandmother on her way past.
She was GORGEOUS and made me feel so inferior standing next to her lolz, but she was very nice….and had on a fabulous jacket!
So at least some of them are nice!
i’m half-Asian and as you know, Asians are generally skinnier (based on genetics). around me, most people are skinny and quite a number are stick-thin. like olga, vlada kind of skinny. (they can’t be models because they lack the height or face or certainly not everyone wants to model
)
to give you guys a rough gauge, in my lecture hall at university, a quarter of the girls would be as skinny as me (- whether they worked as hard as me to get here, i wouldn’t know), a quarter would be even skinnier (i.e. roughly bmi 16?).
anddd… maybe that’s why i prefer models with tone.
most of these girls around me are just stick-thin.
I agree with you; in real life and for myself too i like the thin look with some muscle tone. Thin and fit. But these emaciated (i do not mean this in an offensive way, i just want to be clear with the difference between thin and model look) models have something remarkable about them. They photograph so well and look amazing on the catwalk. I guess that is why this is the model look and not another one. However, for lingerie ads i do prefer a more toned look, Marisa Miller or Ale Ambrosio like
I’m not sure.. I tend to forget to drink throughout the day – maybe drinking 1,5 litres. Do you think thats why?
Does anybody know where skinnygurl is?
it’s been a long time, I hope she’s okay!
Earth to SG… is everything okay? You’ve disappeared!
AAAh. I keep checking every day and everytime I see nothing my heart sinks…
Me too!
Same (:
I know! I’m getting to a point where I don’t even want to come on because all I see is Olga in this stupid ad.
LOL HB, that is pretty funny
Skinny gurl. WHERE ARE YOU?!
(:
Come back, Skinny Gurl!
A post on Demi Lovato would be very interesting, considering her recent decision to enter treatment. It’s not clear for what, but she has reportedly struggled with body image issues for some time now.
interesting! i somehow knew she would have body image issues, esp since she’s gd friends with taylor swift and selena gomez…you would kind of expect it
why would you expect it? and since when is she friends with tay?
jup I also check twice a day to see if shes back ):
hope she’s okay, and only busy or sth :O
gaaaals I have a question well rather rant. I restricted hard the last week and moved around a lot and I really looked skinnier (Idk how much i lost I drowned my scale when I actidentally dropped water on it D:) and I felt so good. t was so easy too. I just convinced myself that if I want to be skinny I have to do this, and it was okay. I felt awesome. but then I got into a binge again, and since then I CANT STOP! I’m so so so depressed and angry at myself that I start crying whenever someone solds me or I get yelled at at work or class. I’m a wreck. Somebody played coldplay and I started cryong in public. ):
oh god. .__.
I get really emotional too when I mess up… I’m sorry
the only thing that makes me feel better is refusing food and feeling stronger. stay strong hun (: you’ll find it gets a lot easier after the first couple of refusals, and just remember… SKINNYSKINNYSKINNY!! (:
hey Mara, calm down. depression is a scary thing so whatever you do now, remember ALWAYS get enough sleep. don’t stay up late and screw up your whole cycle. it’ll spiral into a huge mess in your life when you get to work/class tired, and you end up binging more etc.
sleep and wake up early,
drink lots of water,
divert your attention to something else, like scoring good grades for example.
get exercise each day!
many hugs and kisses,
Chloe
gah analphabetism ftw D: *scolds *crying
Its okay Mara, it’ll get better. I guess the lesson you need to learn is to take it one day at a time, over-restricting can only result in a binge, cos you do so much in such a short space of time. It’s like trying to run 5 miles in 2 seconds, you use so much breathe and energy and then end up using 5 days to recover. Whereas if you ran the 5 miles in 1hour, you’d use less energy and less recovery time.
Your body is mainly claiming back what you forced out of it. Try filling up on apples, thats what I do when I feel the binge coming. Apples are sweet and are almost 0% fat, so you know its safe. And because of the high fiber, it’ll pass right out
Dont try to compensate for bingeing, just dust it off and carry on, remember to take it one day at a time. Be content with even losing 1lb a week. Its so easy to maintain and be consistent when you do it slowly and easily. Whenever you feel yourself get impatient, remember this;
1lb a week = 52lbs a year.
Most dieters find themselves back and forth yesr in year out and end up having to learn the hard way. Dont look at what celebs, do they’re lives are way easier than ours. Just take it one day at a time. Its the only reason why the turtle always wins the race.
LOVE your tip naeomie. i drink a hell lot of water and fill myself up with apples and nothing else if i’m really hungry despite having 3 meals. submit it as a Starving tip!
I love this comment tOo, its pretty much exactly the kind of mentality I try to maintain at all times.
I am not as far along in my weight loss journey as some of the girls on here, but since starting to read this site and actually focus on being healthier I’ve lost 15lbs. BUT it was not all smooth sailing: I lost 15, then GAINED back 7-9 lbs because of a very stressful month in my personal life…
HOWEVER I persevered and went back to eating more modest amounts and exercising a few times a week and the weight is off again! – random moral of my story: no need to freak out if the weight comes off slowly or even if you gain for a bit, just stay positive and be happy and you will find that life can be great even while you are in the midst of figuring out the best way to feed your body
Everybody: SG is fine, she’s just had a VERY busy couple of weeks.
LMAO @ your name, Bullcock!
if this was facebook I would “like” that comment
XD
you’re SG’s boyfriend, right?
Yes darling!
glad to see this, was just going to post a comment myself! hope she’s doing wonderfully xxx
I hate Olga now. LOL.
Thanks everybody for continuing to write. Besides apples, celery works really well. You can get a bag of it at Costco which makes it easier. I hate cleaning celery and that’s the problem. But I should get some again…. I like to have veg soup around too. Thing is I am always hungry. If I get busy I can forget about food. But old habits… Hard to change but SO worth it.
lol. NEVER
I’m soooo tired of seeing this Olga picture!
Another possibility is that Skinny Gurl got tired of working so hard on this site. It kinda looks like she’s gone. Hope I’m wrong.
i really am getting ancy about a new post. I at least hope skinny gurl would have made a goodbye post……………
Same ):
Don’t worry girlies. For those new-ish to the site she does this occasionally. She disappeared this summer and maybe once or twice before that over the year or two I’ve been here. I wouldn’t worry.
Thanks cali… Hope she comes back soon. It’s hard not knowing. I wonder if she’s ever been gone this long before.
Or you could all just read what I wrote.
I read it! – just wanted to let you know =)
Let SG know I hope things aren’t too hectic!
Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help,
I signed up to the skinnygurl forum at Vanilla forums, and I think it was accepted, but it won’t let me sign in and says I do not have permission??
:/ it’s like that for everybody, unfortunately. the forum died.
Kiss! The forum is back! Go check…
Olga – cute boots. I like the last pic as well. Olga looks skinny and beautiful, but definitely not my favourite pics of her.
Just wanted to have my say =)
Loving the support everyone’s showing each other too. It’s completely inspired me =)
Miss you all! x
okay i’m beginning to feel it too.
i hate olga!
yyyyyaaawwwwwnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For anyone struggling with their diet, I’ve got this very comorting quote to share with you and I hope that you will always remember this when you feel down and want to break down in tears;
“It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop“ — Wisdom of Confucius
That certainly made me feel stronger and I hope it did you also.
Love
x
Thanks, that does help.
food wouldn’t jump into your mouth. you’re in control!
thank you guys __< however I really suck for being like this .__,
no discipline .__.
I have a problem with discipline as well, but I’m slowly but surely getting there. I’ve lost three pounds. Only 22 more to go!
I e-mail Skinny Gurl about maybe creating a forum where we can encourage each other and share ideas, and not just on comments. I’m fairly new to the site so I might have just missed it.
What do you guys think?
I just noticed something kind of cool so I thought I’d share. You know how chocolate shakes are sometimes topped with whipped cream and a cherry? Well, I thought about that for a while, and now whenever I crave chocolate my mind immediately jumps to cherries and I crave them instead. It’s like chocolate = cherries in my mind now. lol.
With her chic attire she looks gorgeous enough to be a super model.
just incase other people still check I live in model appartments and one of the girls eats so bad its sabotages me. I mean she has KFC every other day and can book Italian Vogue!!!! I can’t just have one piece of chocolate with eating the whole bar, Im starting a clean diet any advice fellow skinny’s. I mean I think the problem is I have a 16 BMI without trying and I eat really bad but I used to be 105pounds and 5’10.5″ and I want that again how can I stop eating so poorly when I see crepes on every corner???? A model in need!!!!
OMG. I love ITALIAN VOGUE. Ohmygoodness. I can’t believe I’m talking to a model
Look at the crepes and think of all the fat and sugar in them. When it’s meat, think of the animals being killed. That works like a charm for me. I’m a vegetarian. But please, do not starve yourself. Eat healthy. Best of luck 
Her metabolism must be naturally very fast. You seem to very skinny already, but a modeling career is quite tough
I’m too short to be a model (:
5’2
I have a good gf who is 105lbs 5’9″ gorgeous blonde eats whatever the hell she wants and its just motivation. I can look like that, maybe with more discipline but who knows what she really eats when she’s by herself… Its all achievable. Love u all
wait are you an aspiring model? i hope so, cause i’m one! I really want to model soooo bad! and i’m 5’9″! but i’m fat. not really, but in modeling world i am:( I’m about 124 pounds!!! I know, it’s terrible!! i’m going to join my high school’s track team bcuz they run probably 6 miles everyday and most the girls on the team are skinny and eat a ton of food! good luck losing weight! we both can do it
I’m a model too (5’9″ – 98 lbs) and what I do is pretty much, I starve for three days straight, then the third or forth day only I have a Vegie Delight six-inch Sub. NO MAYO; just lettuce, tomato, s&p, and olives OR tiny bit of cheese.
If I get overly-hungry, I have only a low-cal iced tea (Nevada or Nestea are the best I think) for the entire day.
plus water, of course.
I have fruit one a week, even if it clashes with that plan above. I have cup of watermelon, lemon, strawberries or half an apple. Good for detoxing too!
ALSO, If I get I’m-about-to-cry-please-let-me-eat style of hunger, I give myself a full pro makeover, take amazing pictures and be my own little thinspo. That keeps me from the fridge!
Good luck! You’ll get that shoot one day, you deserve it!

Wow, you are so inspiring! I’ve never heard of someone with such great self control. Keep it up! Good on you girl x x
Hun your amazing! I would do ANYTHING get into the modelling industry! Anything… So I have exactly what you want. A personalized 3 week plan that will make you perfect! I have tips tricks everything to keep you on track! I would post it here there just isnt enough room
anyways Sammy you’ll totally regret not hitting me up! And as for the rest of you amazing chicks, you are totally welcome to hit me up as well! My email is *deleted* us skinny bitches gotta stick together! Love you all! Peace out! Btw that girl who eats KFC is probably bulemic.
Thanks I will think of trying to be skinnier then they are that should help. I just need to thin of myself as becoming future thinspo on here!!!
lol we should set some goals for ourselves. by june next year, everyone has to send in a (headless) picture of themselves as thinspo for this site
I agree!
Good idea.. Very motivating (:
Hey guys, I need some help! I used to be so skinny when I got married. But then since I got married, I just… let go
I gained about 4-5 lbs a year, and now I’m 12 lbs over my weight goals (and that’s a lot on my very small, short frame) My hubby doesn’t say anything. He just made one very small comment once a long time ago but he’s too nice about it. I want to have that motivation again, but now I just eat and eat and I don’t exercise. I need some tough love…please! My husband has very little fat on his body (he’s very lean) and right now – I weigh more than him 
Help!! And some of my clothes are fitting really tight, or not fitting at all.
start by setting some goals and getting started. get your husband involved – i’m sure he would be more than willing to help you! go for a brisk walk every day if you’re not into running yet, or go for a nice swim. set aside time to exercise each day, and start watching your diet and discovering the wonders of clean eating. i’m sure you’ll get there!!
Here’s what I think. Everyone is different. The worst mistake anyone can make is to diet in a hurry, that is a recipe for an ongoing binge. My advise to anyone finding it tough is this; Don’t be afraid to go slow, or to pace for a while. Whatever you desire may not happen fast but you have to be dilligent and be faithful. Work your hunger around your weaknesses.
If you find the weeknds hard to discipline, then restrict during the week and relax (NOT BINGE)at the weekends. Eat normal, it gives you the impression ur not missing out on anything. Take yourself and friends out to dinner once a week, anywhere, and don’t hold the dressing, cos u know you’ll be holding it 5 other days of the week.
Dieting is not punishment, so dont punish yourselves with rigid diets okay, the slower the better.
love the tip: it WILL happen in the end even if you go slow. however try to keep at least 300kcal below what you’d take in for your weight maintenance because if you take in say, only 100kcal less, your body naturally moves less to make up for that slightly lower calorie intake. (in actual fact, if you take in 500-1000kcal less, your body also slows down to make up for it, but it can’t slow down enough, hence the weight loss.)
that’s why exercise is highly recommended with dieting
but in any case, don’t be afraid to have a few days of weight maintenance calories. it’ll give your body a break anyway. even if it takes half a year, at least it does happen and is better than a binge!
I just need to rant to people who get me! i’ve been exercising and eating healthy and i’ve cut my calories and it worked, i lost 5 kilos, joy! but the past 6 weeks.. ugh, i added more exercise and less calories to try help get back to losing but its not budging! annoying much.
(which i know is a lot but i’m 180cm so its not too bad :/) and cannot break it!!
i’m 60kgs
I’m not going to give up tho and cant wait for skinnygurl to get back and post more tips!
Just needed to rant and not get slagged or have someone trying to stuff cookies down my throat!
you should really post a new post!!!! It’s time!!
dear skinny gurl,
we all miss you!
if you don’t come back soon i’m going to call you FAT girl!!! hope that’s enough motivation
I will finally admit even I’m impatient. This is silly, love. Please come back!
Come on Skinny Gurl!!!!
relax guys, it hasn’t even been a month, read he old posts angain. or watch tv shows with skinny women/girls like ally mcbeal or 90210 , I find it motivating. xx
New tip, guys! Restricting leads to binging so ALWAYS sleep early and if you really have to eat, always allow yourself salads for snacks. Been snacking all I want with salads between my meals and my max kcal per day is 600! (usually my intake for 3meals adds up to about 500. 3-4 cups of veg salad (really a lot!) taken over several sittings only add 100kcal to my diet!
Been feeling really full too. Lost 5kg and am lookin to lose 5more for my goal weight:)
models.com! you can look at all of your fave models’ pics and look at new models. the new models are really good thinspo for me because they’re just starting out as models, so their bodies are kinda more realistically attainable than pro models’ bodies.
Someone I find inspiring is Princess Letizia of Spain… here’s a link with pictures!

eh, what happen to Skinny Gurl?
i really don’t know, hope she’s ok
I still come to the site because it currently an opne forrum for us to chat anywhere else we would be unhealthy freaks but had to state the slow diet advice was great Im having a couple slip ups but since I’m easing in it’s ok and all in all I feel like Im doing better!
One thing I think you guys make like is steamed broccoli with low fat or homemade spaggetti sauce it gives you feeling your eating pasta but without the quilt and it has less than 50 cal for 1/4 cup less than low fat dressing

any way to quickly drop fats in two weeks? i’ve an important event! :’(
Drink lots of water every day… Do cardio, at least 1 hour a day… Cut out all carbs and sugar… and don’t eat anything that will bloat you too much. Try to write down the calories in everything you put into your mouth no matter what!
You should look slimmer in 2 weeks if you work hard and stick to it.
This sounds like very good advice. It’s what I’ve done in the past and must repeat for results in 2 weeks! I’m grain free anyway but have been lagging with the sugar!
Glad the site is back.
Just tried the facebook on katie fortagy that sammy posted and it’s been removed.
Help! What do you do when your weight is stuck even though you’ve been heavily restricting and exercising? I’ve even tried switching my foods and routine up but it won’t budge this past week! It’s so frustrating
