They have to be reminded that just because they are skinny doesn't make you better then the next girl. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so don't worry about what I think. The same ones who are preaching that they can't believe all the negativity are the same ones dragging it on, post something positive. Lord. Too much complainers on these forums, get a life.


    There more drama for you losers to go off on. Byeeee

    Losers?? Really?.

    Do you really think that you are 'making it right' by insulting other body types. How on earth does your mind get to that logic?

    Also, lol at the irony about the complainers.

    You are a lovely one aren't you petal!

    Since I've lost weight, I also lost weight in my boobs I went from a C cup to a B cup, a big B cup though. I still want curves, and an *kitten*. i feel like if I lose anymore weight I lose my boobs, I'm not into that skinny skinny look. What do you think about 145 pounds on a 5'2 frame? Maybe ten more pounds? I'm scared to lose my butt and boobs.

    Plus I'm having a hard time losing anymore weight

    You're mad when you got opinions and comments when you asked for opinions you wanted us to tell you about how YOUR BODY will look better when we didn't want to you started making statements about what a woman should be by putting others down. We didn't like that. Then when we tried to point out that wasn't ok you came at us with the WE CAN ALL BE WHAT WE WANT AND NOT HAVE TO BE TOLD OTHERWISE. but yet all your post craved for was validation that women should be "thick" women don't need to be anything.
    In my opinion you just wanted someone to be like "damn gurl you thick" lol and admire and praise you for wanting to be "thick" well out in the real world outside of worldstarhiphop.com people have more than one notion of beauty. Like we all said at the beginning if being thick tickles your pickle by all means be thicker than a snickers

    I think the key phrase is the bolded one. She finds it hard to lose the weight she wanted to lose, so expected a lot of pats on the back and "do not worry, ignore the scale, fat is in fasion" and lots of praise about how awesome she must be looking, from strangers who haven't even seen a photo of hers.

    Quoting this to say that I loved the phrase, "If being thick tickles your pickle, by all means be thicker than a snickers!"

    That made me giggle!

    I rather have some fat then be skinny with small breast, it's not womanly since we're being honest. I don't mind a little stomach, I'll probably go down to 130 and stop there and just workout to maintain and be healthy, I can look hot still without looking like I try so hard at the gym.

    Yes, because us women with naturally small breasts or wiry frames are not womanly. We are skim woman; 2% woman only. Because femininity is evidently measured in cup sizes.

    I get you want to retain a full figure and your curves and feel good about your body, but your asserting your right to do so should not rely on throwing other women under the bus. Talk about internalized misogyny and competitiveness! You do realize that a skinny woman being sexy does not revoke your right to also be sexy, right? There isn't a quota of sexiness, that different body types need to fight each other for the rights to.

    Like... 80% of this thread is women trying to tell other women they are "doing it wrong". Please stop throwing shade all around.

    Ha yeah, that lovely post stood out to me too :* I've given birth to three kids, nursed them each for a year and look pretty darn good in a bikini, and I can get away with not wearing a bra and just a tank top. That's how I'm built and there's nothing less 'womanly' about me sheesh.

    At least my 38A's won't be down to my knees in 20 years. I'll take that over being "womanly" anyday.

    F**k you.


    I'll take the hit on this one. This is HORRIBLE thing to say. I'm actually kind of livid at work. seriously go stuff it.

    Seriously. How DARE you say that.
    How dare you assume that your fatty tissue on your chest makes you more or less womanly than someone else.

    How about those women with double mastectomy's? are they less womanly?

    My friend's missing half her breast- as a bellydancer she's the epitome of sex appeal- strong and fierce.
    Another woman is missing all of her one of her breasts and she's the most elegant and grande dancer I know- she's stunning- kind and well spoken. She moves with grace you'll never known- and is accepting of all people- she radiates class and power- and regal- she's a motherfu*king queen.

    With half her chest missing. How dare you.


    Bite it. That's just a horrible horrible thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    If I'm reading this correctly user responded to "I rather have some fat then be skinny with small breast, it's not womanly ...."

    If I have to respond to the original poster's comment I + 1

    EDTA : But I won't respond to the original poster .....

    it doesn't matter what someone thinks is womanly- I know people who identify as women that are more "womanly" than me and they were born with a penis.

    No one has the right to judge someone based on the size of their tits about how much of a woman they are- or are not.

    Period.

    A million times this.

    Your weight is irrelevant because none of us know how comfortable you feel with that weight.

    Both of your statements make me sick. What is wrong with people who think like you and who do this to other women?? Don't we already have it bad enough that guys are constantly objectifying us and telling us our boobs have to be this way, our butts have to be that way, and so on? Do we really have to do it to each other as well??

    Yes! I couldn't agree more with this. I am a curvy build which I base on my waist/hip ratio....BUT I don't have large breasts by any means (34C...34B after weight loss not that it matters.) I have actually been told that I am not curvy because my breasts aren't large even.

    There is too much judgment out there...and unfortunately I find that much of it DOES come from other women. We should be building each other up (especially in a fitness and weight loss community) rather then telling one another that our boobs or butts are better then theirs. We're all built differently...that's what makes it interesting :smile:

    Men MAY objectify at times due to their acute visual senses...but I find that men (especially with a woman they care about) are much more forgiving in thinking that a woman's body (perceived flaws and all) is beautiful.

    Hear hear...

    I am 5'3 130 and I have found that it doesnt matter what it says on the scale its all about fat loss. I eat a tonne of food a day, a lift weights- creating my own curves. So if you wanna keep or make curves and stay healthy and fit; eat well lift weights. I have managed to keep my E's this way and gained 2 pride inducing inches on my butt:D

    The surplus of food you eat starts to turn into fat rather than muscle while the muscle is used as energy for your body instead of the fat

    Depending on how long you have not been lifting, and a bunch of other factors including the size of your deficits and your diet as a whole, you may lose some muscle and/or you just my lose some neuromuscular adaptations (sort of becoming less efficient at using your muscle). The way our bodies work, muscle does not turn into fat, but the energy you would have been using to develop or maintain it will now become available for other 'uses' - which will basically allow for more fat storage. There is no direct 'muscle turning into fat' or vise versa.

    @OP your weight goal is completely up to you but in my personal opinion it's not a matter of being skinny/overweight/big but a matter of how much body fat you carry. For example, I used to be overweight (187 lb) and eventually lost over 50 lb. Even though I was slim, I was still "fat" which is why I did resistance training. Not only did it help me lose the last bit of weight but it helped me lose body fat. Now I could care less about the scale. I had gotten two Dexa scans by health doctors. My before was around 38-42% body fat and my after is 19-23%. I'd say focus on body fat more than weight. A low body fat has much more advantages than a low weight. If you're unsure of your current body fat % then you can get a professional to check. Good luck!

    There's typically a lot of talk about weight and weight loss and naturally as one gets leaner the weight drops. But mostly we're all probably really talking about fat loss rather than weight loss. Weight goes up and down but getting lean is about reducing fat and increasing lean body mass. So two people can weight practically the same, give or take a few lbs, but one person is lean and more toned than the other. A lbs of fat and a 1lbs of muscle weight exactly the same, weight wise, but muscle is more dense than fat. If I weight 180 lbs but was at my target fat percentage, I would not worry about the actual number on the scale. A 220 lbs athlete looks very different from a 222 lbs average guy because of lean muscle mass. Be guided by thinking in terms of body re-composition/fat loss. Also be sure to keep your proteins up and do strength training otherwise while you lose fat you will also lose lean muscle mass....good luck

    Do you have pictures? I'd like to see how that looks .

    See, I like the way your waist is small and your hips and butt pop. You don't even look 175, esp being only 5'1. Good work.

    I'm going to waist train, this belly ruins everything.

    Waist train???


    Yeah apparently it works I was skeptical but a lot of girls are getting results.
    I want a belly gone, and just tone up my arms. I like everything else.

    You can't spot reduce, just a heads up. I don't think the girls are getting results in the way you think. You're talking about corsets, right? That's a temporary thing and if done excessively, can lead to a lot of problems.

    So it's either I have a fat belly or no boobs. Dang.

    There's always implants.

    That's my plan anyway.


    I've seen this advice in other places but I don't understand: why lose weight to get 'healthier' to then risk your health through surgery to get implants, when you had breasts to begin with?

    for the original poster; you could try to lose the extra 10lbs, If you don't like how that looks, it won't be hard to gain 10lbs back.

    People do not lose weight only for health reasons, otherwise there would be no-one trying to lose those last '10 vanity pounds'. The risks of breast augmentation surgery on health are minimal. The risks of being significantly overweight are not.

    You may have had breasts to begin with, but you may also prefer them larger/differently shaped. When you get lean, your breasts often decrease in size significantly.

    Mental health is important also.

    Please someone show me a person with a BMI of 24 who looks anorexic.

    My BMI was 24.9 here. Clearly I look nowhere near anorexic, but I don't look approaching overweight either. Imagine what I'd look like at a BMI of 20?

    You would look fine at a BMI of 20 too. My BMI is 20 and I'm lean (profile pic). It also depends on body fat.
