Women have curves, Damn it!

[ToriAllen]

No offence at all, but are you quite short?

 

I am 178 cm (I think that's 5"10 - 5"11) and I usually weigh between 70 and 75 kilos. I have a bit of muscle but I am not at all fat.

 

If I weighed less than 120 pounds (55 kilos) I would be Skeletor - so it seems frighteningly small to me.

Like I said I'm small framed. I tried to self measure, not easy, and I'm either 5'5" or 5'6". I'm not sure. I know I measure really low on the wieght scale because I am small boned. Example: The lowest generic ring size is a size five and that fits on my middle finger. You can tell if you are big, medium, or small boned by wrapping your thumb and pointer finger around your wrist. If they do not touch then you are big boned, if they do touch you are medium boned, and if they overlap then you are small boned. When wrapping my fingers around my wrist not only does my pointer finger overlap, but my pinky finger overlaps with my thumb. I don't have any bones showing but I would like a little meat on me, which for some reason, my body completely rejects. I weight anywhere between 106 and 110 on average. I would like to be about 120, which for me is a nice healthy look.

 

 

I didn't know there was a movement to accept fat as good. We get your show The Biggest Loser over here and it seems to be teaching people the right things.

 

There's a great lady from England, Gillian McKeith, who has a show "You Are What You Eat". She is a very scary woman and I think she'd whip Americans into shape in no time. You should lobby the ABC to buy her program.

There are people who are actually against weight loss and heathy living and it is disgusting to me.

After pulling back several layers of fat rolls with a thick rubber band, I managed to find my wrist bones.

 

My fingers just touched, which I guess makes me medium boned.

 

So, according to that website (which I am about to attack with several viruses) I am a fat person.

Thanks for the links. I'm going to join up.

I can't believe there are actually organizations that endorse being a fat slob. I mean, yea, not everyone is going to be a size 2 (myself included lol), but sheeesh, there's no reason to be a size 20, either.

Just tried it- all 4 fingers overlap with my thumb. Yay! I'm small boned. On the down side, it just proves my thighs are nothing but flab.

 

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the wonderful genes. Her hips, his hands.
