Big boned?

What do you think? Could it be true for a good percentage of big people?

I think using it as an excuse is in poor form, but we do all have different body types and carry ourselves differently.
I know as an currently overweight 6'3 broad shouldered man that I will ALWAYS be bigger than people around me. Even at my lowest weight and BF%, I looked huge. I was within all 'healthy' parameters, but I still looked overweight to the casual observer just based on the amount my frame took up.

I think too many people go off of the Hollywood body builds and promote a universal standard when it varies from person to person.

Ya know why i never bought that pic? B/c when i'm heavier my ribs stick out more (i guess from having fat on my organs or something IDK)....but anyways I KNOW my ribs are sticking out more now than they do when I'm thin and for that reason that fat side should show wider ribs for me to "buy it" that that's a true pic of a fat person.

I hear some people are bone chewers while others like to suck on the bone...whether they are big or not beats me

I've always considered myself big boned, not because I'm fat, but because I have always been pretty well proportioned yet weigh more than I look. Even when I was 225 lbs (size 18)no-one ever believed I weighed that much, a few people I know who wore my size then weighed less than me. I mean right now I'm down 68 lbs and 10 clothes sizes, yet still weigh 162 lbs and not at a healthy BMI yet. It's very frustrating! So yea.....I do think some people just say they are bi-boned as an excuse to be fat, but some people are really just big boned, like myself.

I hope you are not saying your bones grow when you get bigger because of the fat on your organs.

Big boned is more about how your frg legs, broad shoulders, wide hips, not about how big your bones really are. I suspect bones are about the same size, but length- yeah, that tall guy definitely has longer bones, and my low waisted body definitely has shorter leg bones. This is my opinion only, and I could definitely be wrong.

I think too many people use "big boned" as an excuse to stay overweight or not to lose to reach a healthy weight.

Please keep in mind there is a difference between bone structure (width of shoulders, wide hips, etc ) than bone size/ diameter. Now people do have various bone densities and a different structure but in terms of diameter its all generally similar.

I doubt very much that bones have to do with anything. There are different body shapes though. For instance, I have a very short torso - so my waist will naturally be bigger than someone who is more proportionate because they have more room. I'm also rectangle shaped which means my shoulders and my hips are the roughly the same size. Some people have broader shoulders and narrower hips and vice versa. We're all built differently... but it's not a bad thing

nicenhealthy

I don't think the literal use of 'big bone' is valid. Some people have an arm-span which is proportionately longer than their height and they may have wide-set hips, for example.... But I don't think you would call this 'big boned', I think you'd describe someone like this as having a 'larger frame'.

I mean... yes, I am big boned. How dare you say I am fat when it is my genes and big bones.

Sabine_Stroehm

My take: I think there's a reason healthy weight is a range.... some folks are bigger than others. I have a friend who out weighs me by 10 LBS and never works out. Yet, she wears smaller jeans etc.
That said, I'd bet the range is 10-20LBS for the average woman.

broad shoulders, yea thats my husband. Only he's 5'4 and can't put his arms flat down against his sides. I find it amusing, but anyways its hard to find shirts for him, I have to buy XL or 2X, and he's only a 34 waist.

I think that there are various issues all lumped into the big boned category:

1, people with a larger frame i.e. broad shoulder, broad hips etc
2, people who carry their fat well i.e. they don't look overweight, they are not particularly muscular, but if you take waist/height ratio or even BMI they come up as overweight
3, there is a natural variance between bone sizes, but it's actually not that much.

mungowungo

Does big boned refer to large frame? If so that fits me - ie wide hips, broad back, large hands, large feet - but I am still fat. Only difference it has made to me is my goal weight is at the higher end of B.M.I. for my height.
