    Perfect! Thanks for sharing. I used to be fat, then skinny fat, from all that cardio and not eating (and what I was eating was processed "light" nonfood). Now I strength train 3x/wk, eat a clean diet.....I look better now than 20 yrs ago!

    great article - thanks for posting!

    dgfurman - when you do your strength training, typically how long do you spend each time on it?

    Great article. It still amazes me when women are afraid to lift weights cuz they don't want to "get big". When I was training for my last show...I was leg pressing just under 500 pounds. I had a woman come up to me and say...aren't you afraid of getting big?? I asked her...do I look big to you (at the time I weighed 120 pounds and was around 16% body fat. The best thing we ALL can do for ourselves in ALL aspects of our lives is educate ourselves :) Thanks for sharing!!

    I really like this article. I definitely have been "Skinny-Fat" most of my life. But I have added some strength training in past year. My question is how much time per week should I devote to strength training? Currently I am probably doing about 90 min - 2 hours per week. Is that enough?

    great article! I want to be strong and toned, to hell with skinny! I've got a way to go still, but I'm getting there, slowly, and by reading articles like this, i remember that this is a *lifetime project*, not some silly "goal" that i am trying to get to :drinker:

    Awesome article ! Thanks for posting. I've been skinny-fat my whole life..well since i've quit sports. And all my friends always say, "you're so skinny!" and i'm like "uh, actually i have a TON of fat on me and no muscle, that's why i can't push a glass door open. hahah thanks for the article.. I'm glad I do Cardio AND Strength Training every day :)

    Yes - thank you awesome article........

    Very hard for us middle aged gals to leave the starve and do all cardio mindset behind. It was what was "big" back when we were younger and impressionable. Many of us grew up watching our mothers starve (and smoke) and take diet pills.....We wanted to be Twiggy.

    Being as thin as a clotheshanger seemed ideal.........Lots of mental homework to do I guess.

    BUT, I LOVE this better information and am feeling more impowered to think beyond old ways and get this 'skinny fat' body to grow muscles.

    Thanks again!
