I have always been larger than other women, and I am not saying fatter (although I am that too haha!) But, just a stockier, sturdy gal. Right now I weigh 230 and am a size 16 across the board, so I know I have decent muscle mass under there. I am looking for example pictures of women with larger frames for fitspo!

I have always been overweight but athletic, so I was hoping for some inspiration from other large framed gals! Or pics of pro natural bodybuilders with a larger build. I cannot tell the difference between a natural fbb and one on steroids, so any help telling the difference would be appreciated. And no, I am NOT afraid of bulking up or getting hyuuuge. The opposite, really. Thanks folks!!

    A couple examples of naturally larger/athletic built women are Ashley Horner and Gina Carano.

    i sometimes think i fit this. even when i at my smallest (size 6) i was always solid and not wispy/willowy. i used to play rugby and even before i intentionally started gaining weight for it , people would run into me hurt themselves and i wouldnt feel it or make a difference in my path. even now when i flex my muscles there's very little jiggle (except belly :laugh: )

    oh and i'm 220 and in between a 14 and 16, probably a good 10 pounds away from wear my size 14 express jeans without crazy muffin top

    gina carano is one of my fitspiration

    Great thread! I'm stocky :) My legs are pretty long, but my frame is quite wide through the middle (and not long in the torso). My shoulders are broad, too. Thank goodness they are broader than my other wide parts, lol.

    I'd never seen Gina Carano's pictures. She is awesome for inspiration! It's nice to see women who aren't so narrow through the torso, because they are usually not used as models so it's pretty rare to see. I think she looks fabulous! I have a similar frame shape, with a bigger rear, lol. Now I can say I have a fitspo favorite. Yay!
