Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Hey girls :)
I recently became interested in camming, and thank lordy I found this site before I started. It's been so helpful and informative, and I just want to say thanks to all the ladies on here who offer tips and advice to help others succeed. I haven't started camming yet because I'm still trying to figure out how it all works, an honestly... I'm scared I'll be too fat and won't succeed. I'm pretty curvy, at 200 pounds and 5'9. I'm not the attractive curvy either, but the cellulite an faded stretch marks curvy (I gained tons of weight on bc). I joined a gym and started dieting, but I really want to cam in the mean time for income. It seems like all of the girls on here are gorgeous, and in flawless shape. Do you have any tips for making myself look thinner, or hiding my shape kind of, while being revealing at the same time? Also any weight loss tips? The way everyone seems to look on here really intimidates me! Thank you girls! :)
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Iff there's one thing you will quickly learn about camming, that is that there is a market for EVERY type of girl/ man/ transgender }:D Do not be afraid to be who you are, figure out your niche/ niches, and have fun with it. If you personally would feel better losing some weight then go for it, i can highly recommend the myfitnesspal website and tools to help you. I'm a UK size 12 and hate it because I'm not fat enough to be BBW but not typical toned, slim US camgirl type either.. but guys seem to like me regardless. On days I feel uncomfortable about myself, i use makeup contouring to shade in areas of my stomach, ass, and face, and make sure to get my angles right on cam. Good luck, and welcome :) x
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Hello, and welcome! Don't be nervous about your weight, trust me, when I started working on cam, I was about the same weight as you are and 6 inches shorter! Well, I've lost a lot of weight since then, but if there is one thing that I've learned being a camgirl, it's that there is a market for everyone. I'm not thin now, still a little chubby and with my problem areas, but I can honestly count on one hand the times someone has insulted me about it. And usually they were the broke buttholes that don't pay anyway. My main point? It doesn't matter what weight you are, you could be 90 pounds and someone still might make fun of you. But that isn't very likely.
As long as you have confidence, or even if you fake it, the guys will love you. You'll find that as time goes on, the one asshole comment will balance out because of the hundreds of compliments and (sometimes even creepy) worship that will come your way. Good luck! I suggest reading the 'stupid bullshit I've heard on cam' thread. It's a laugh, and it'll give you some perspective.
(Oh, and about the stretchmarks. I have a LOT from when I was heavier that have faded. I used to cover them up, but seriously, NO ONE has ever noticed. Just play around with your lighting if you feel self-conscious.)

Welcome! :-)
I am a SSBBW (super sized) size 26/28 ... and I do just fine on cam!
I was so so worried before I first started, but I am a completely different girl now!
Confidence=Sexy=Money!
Do your own thing and don't worry about what others do.
You will get insulted no matter what you look like.
Just have fun with it, be confident, and ignore the assholes :-)
I don't have any tips on how to look slimmer, because I fully embrace it and so do my customers.
I will tell you that camming will help you lose some weight though.. I have lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks
because of all the different fucking positions and dancing! hahahaha
anyway.. that is my 2 cents.
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Thanks guys! I guess I just have to be confident I guess :)
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Welcome,it's like one giant family.I've only been here a short time and love it.
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Hi! I'm really new here too, and am planning on camming in the next month or two.
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Nice to meet you kfoxxy, and good luck to you!
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Absolutely what the other girls said! There is a market for everybodyyyy.
Honestly, when I started camming my fear is I'm extremely petite (flat as a board -.-") and whatever. plain jane averageness.
There is a niche for your type! :) Try and start positive, and I'm sure by the end of the first broadcast your confidence will be boosted :)
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Welcome!!
Don't worry about the weight - whatever your shape, there will be guys that LOVE it!!!
And as for the stretchmarks - do not stress!! Play with your lighting and over-expose yourself a little - it'll wipe all flaws!! I actually have psoriasis, and no one has EVER noticed....
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
welcome!!
girl, i CHOSE camming so i don't have to worry about my shape!
really!
good luck to you!
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
I'm not exactly a bbw but I'm not slim by any stretch of the imagination and I still make good money. I get called fat maybe once a week but I get called beautiful and sexy a thousand times more. Confidence is key. Don't let these guys get to you. It's your room and your show. Let them know who's in control and you will do just fine.
Oh and I don't do anything to hide my stretch marks or my cellulite. It is what it is. Either they like it or they don't. But I've been camming almost a year no one has ever said a word about either.

Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Welcome to SW and to the World of Webcamming! good to have you here ;)
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Awww!! :)) once again thank you all, its awesome to be here! You are all so sweet & the encouragement really is making me feel less worried. I definitely agree that the environment here is like one big family, and I can't wait to get to know people over time. I'm thinking about contouring my body, and wearing some sort of teddy/body stocking lingerie; its revealing but also a little disguising. Do any of you have recommendations or experience on which sites are a little more chubby friendly? I was thinking about starting on streammates for now, because I want to wait to start on myfreecams untill I get in better shape, so I can make a !POW! debut haha :)
Oh I love this forum :3

Really? You look rather petite in your photo. Is that you in the pic or...?
I'm a little over 5 feet and my shoulders come to about the 2nd door jam. I'm 105 pounds and you look thinner than me.
hmmm
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
Yeah, Its me :) It's cause I'm sooooo tall that I carry the weight relatively well, but i am definitely still chubby. I was also sucking it in :P hahhaha. Oh, I was wondering, how do i upload a picture for my actual profile picture? Thanks! :)
Re: Coming out of lurking to say hi!
First of all, welcome! :) And I'm welcoming you with some tough love!
Because it does seem to me that you do have a problem. But that is NOT with your weight, it's with your confidence!:)
The worst thing you can do is to try to appear that you're someone else, that you're not chubby but in fact you have a perfect slim figure. It will make you feel uncomfortable, you'll obsess on "can he see how big my butt is? oh no, he left, I'm sure he did!", etc. Guys do leave freechat rooms and privates without saying anything, on SM you'll get many 2 minute guys who just come in private chat, stay for a minute or two and leave. These will make you feel like they left because you're too big for their taste.
Try to accept yourself. It doesn't mean that you don't have to diet or exercise anymore, but for now you're like this, so you can accept this fact while working towards your goals and make the most of it; or you don't accept it and feel like crap every night when you're online, because you don't think you're good enough.
This is sexwork, it's not only your appearance that will decide how much you earn. If you don't believe me, google "SSBBW porn" and watch some of it! Are you feeling fat now? And see how confident they are? Well then...?
I'm a large BBW and see my siggy for more about the subject of money. ;D
In your OP you say

It seems like all of the girls on here are gorgeous, and in flawless shape.
Start with this:) Do.not.compare.yourself.to.others. EVER! We have so many kinds of girls here, curvy, BBW, SSBBW, you name it! Tbh, I do consider us flawless and gorgeous anyway, and I'm sure our regulars do too:)
I've been where you are right now, and I hope that sexwork will have the same effect on you as it had on me: I started out without any confidence and now I'm more confident than ever. Just try it out, get on cam in the curvy, or BBW category, and see for yourself: you'll get so many compliments, more than you can handle! You'll get tired of smiling and saying thank you! You'll run out of ways to say thank you:) I really hope that by doing this job you'll learn to love and accept yourself no matter how much you weigh:) Good luck, and good luck with your weight loss too!
