Im overweight, and my body carries it just fine, in fact, to balance out the weight, it just builds more muscle mass, and that in turn produces more weight. Not sure exactly what weight i am over, but i hear that I am morbidly obease, along with Arnold Swartzenspellhisnager Who ever set the standard was way off.
Maybe it was "cosmo" that set the standard. Either that or it was some dumbass in the fedral government. One way or another they failed to take into account that there are many kinds of bodys. Its like you said in another thread heron. Some bodys were made to lift very heavy objects, some were made to lift moderatly heavy objests and carry them over a distance, some were made to run long distances and so on. LONG LIVE DIVERSITY! Heron, your body reminds me of the muscle men in old time cartoons. Barrel chested with massive strong arms
I can tell you what I eat all day and how much I excersize and you'd look at me and think, "hell no". I weigh 230 pounds and I'm 5'6. During the day I eat 3 meals. For breakfast, I eat one bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. For lunch I eat a 6 inch ham italian sub and for dinner, my mom (who is diabetic) cooks a balanced meal. During the day, while I'm at work I walk anywhere between 3 and 5 miles a day. Now, I'm only overweight through my upper half of my body. For some reason, no matter what I do, I don't seem to lose the belly fat. All my extra weight is put on in my upper body. I surprise people actually when they feel the muscles in my calf. I have huge calves and I can tell you they are solid muscle. My legs have always been really muscular due to biking when I was younger, rollar skating, dancing, walking, playing soccer in middle school. And of course, my job now has me standing a lot. I don't eat much chocolate or sweets. I don't dig into chips and dip.. I'm not much of a snacker and I'm actually highly active. Some people just don't lose weight easily and that is not their fault. Strange thing, everyone says I look like I'm losing weight, and I'm not. I've lost maybe 1 pound in the last few months. I look like I've lost about 5. I must be building muscle again. A few days ago someone guessed my weight at 170.
i get that, too. i weigh about 192 right now, at 5'3", but no one ever guesses that high. i think it's because we're all so used to women lying about their real weight that we have a skewed image of what certain weights look like.
I think I weight about 60 - 65 kilo.... Been down to 57..... that was gross. Perhaps you have a problem with your thyroid weeble? I have a friend who has a thyroid probelm and she is one of the healthiest people I have ever met, she eats right and excercises all the time and still, nothing.
my aunt is overweight and is suffering from no health problems whatsoever..so that argument is a false one... being obese is unhealthy but being overweight isnt...
i weigh about...64 kilo's now, i'm 5'4...that means i have a butt and tits, if i loose weight my butt and tits are gone. well not if i'd weigh 60 but under 60 kilo's, and they are gone gone gone.
people should look the way they want and not have to worry about losing weight to be have the heroin/meth sheek look... when has it become very unacceptable for anyone to have any weight on them...
omg yes i know, those girls on the magazines, they look sick, very ill, almost dead. you are so right mystical shroom
their skin is grey their breath smells like acetone.. well this is a first sight of being NONEATING! I have one friend like this, grose..
THanks grimjevy, that was flattering. My wife said in Jr High they took the "test" and she was considered overweight, at 116lb!! For her height she was 10 lbs overweight, she is 5" Thats a horrible thing to tell a girl in Jr High that only weighs 116. Now she is still 5" and weighs 130, but thats 7 months pregnant.
this right here would be my personal ideal figure, and is very doable for me, in terms of what my body shape is. i don't want to be thin. i got down to 118, which is supposed to be within my perfect weight range, and i looked like karen carpenter 3 days after she died! it was awful.
Great Goddess! She is perfect. Build just like the Great Mother in Her statues, I have seen fertility carvings that look just like her. Goddess, she is breathtaking. KC, if you look like that, i will forever praise your beauty. Always thought you were pretty anyway =P
thanks, man, i appreciate that, coming from you. right now, i'm just pregnant. but i'm wasp waisted, big breasted, and have a big (now round) ass. i've always joked when i explained to people that i'm sort of a charicature of a female form, everything on my is kinda exagerated. it used to embarass me. but i've finally decided that people treating me like a sexual good luck charm (even if they don't want me personally) is probably because i bear some sort of resemblance to an old fertility fetish. lol. i have my own appeal. thin is not a part of it.
Naah, i mean I just have too tiny ones.. hehehe.. and then Im kinda wondering that it must be harder tho, couse the weight is bigger.. back might start hurt.. or something, dunno.. well tho I would like to have a bigger ones tho
I know what you mean. I grew up seeing all the girls want the skinny guys, ignoring the guys like me. You have to the feminine what i have to the masculine. I have huge legs, big shoulders and big chest, and a belly, solid, bit pronounced. So girls talked about being "safe and protected" but didnt want the guy built like a gorilla. But, good for me, my wife wouldnt have a man anyother way, and i think there are more women attracted to my build now, in adult age, than when I was in school.
no worries. i have a heavy preference for small breasts. i've never looked twice at big boobs like mine. they're just not my thing. but at the same time, i know mine have their appeal, and i won't hack and slash myself to change them. and heron, i dated a very thin young man for long time. i had this terrible fear of men in general, due to very bad experience. i didn't want a man i couldn't overpower if i needed to. but i got older, got over my fear, and met dave, whose chest to this day makes me drool with how nice and big and strong it is. long live the big man!! they're perfect. after all, if i want a girl, i'll get a girl, you know what i mean?
