Don't people realize that you can be skinny fat and extremely unhealthy?

Absolutley!
Also, if all the fat people (myself included) on here had joined the site when they were only 5lb overweight, they (we) wouldn't be overweight now.

Stopping yourself getting fat is far smarter than getting obese then having to lose it all, so I have a lot of respect for people who join and develop a healthier lifestyle *before* they get massively overweight. I only wish I'd been one of you! :bigsmile:

Hey! Not Everyone hates skinny biatches. That's a ridiculous over exaggeration.

I for one apparently love skinny biatches. I fall for them all the time.

Yes!! - this is exactly what I was concerned about when I started using this site and replying to message boards... I may "look" sortof thin to some people (aside from the pudgy face, arms, thighs and butt), but I have a lot of fat and not much muscle tone... I am so weak and in need of better overall health and fitness (and muscles and strength) that I have had some horrible back pain and sciatic nerve pain. I know the cause - I sit for too long of a stretch of time at my desk at work and I have poor muscle tone. If I were actually fit and in shape, I don't think I would have had such a horrible pain problem. I chose this site b/c it's a FITNESS app, to log food and exercise, with the support of others who are healthy-minded, not a weight loss app. I need to work on building muscle (and losing some fat) and that's why I'm here. I think people who are significantly overweight and are working to lose weight are a huge inspiration, but I also think those that use this site to help maintain fitness are a huge inspiration as well. It's not just about weight; it's about overall health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I've never experienced hate here, but my friends in real life are like this. When I was in college and over weight, they would always tell me how thin I am and that I'm not fat and blah blah blah... even tho, I was(and clearly was!) overweight!

Now that I've lost a good bulk of that weight and am looking smaller due to a good ratio of weights/cardio, my friends are hating like nobody's business! It annoys me, because I busted my butt to look like this.. and I'm sorry if the haters don't like it.. but thats the way it is and I refuse to stay overweight just to make someone else feel better about themselves.

I haven't been 'skinny' since my early 20's and now that I'm in my late 30's (and have more sense) & I don't want to go back there. I definitely want to be healthy which is probably 20lbs heavier (healthy BMI) than I weighed back then but of course I have quite a ways to go to get there but I'm going to try.

BTW, when I see someone's profile and I see all the hard work that they have put in to be healthy and maintain a lifestyle that I hope to achieve I'm not angry or jealous, I am truly inspired. I want to thank those of you that work hard for what you have because trust me when I don't have the energy to exercise or I'm craving something NOT on my diet and you've just posted that you burn 700 to 1200 calories by running, biking or whatever I'm like s**t if that person is working hard then I can too...so thank you very much.

There are an awful lot of haters of just about anything on this website. You know you've reached the bottom of the barrel when people are complaining about others complimenting each other.

Makes for an amusing read during lunch though!

People also don't realize that the "skinny" person could have been an overweight person at one point in time, and are simply using MFP as a tool to maintain. You have to realize there are a plethora of idiots on this site who are incapable of thinking that far out of the box.

Ufff I'm one of those now "skinny" persons who was overweight and was on & off for more than a decade and is now using MFP for weight maintenance. If I will stop counting my calories and logging all I eat, in no time I will be back to my old fatty me. Some people need to be educated on this. Many have this perception that diet (I mean proper balanced diet) & exercise are only for overweight people but the truth is that it is for everyone whether you are fat or thin. I know many people who are naturally thin but has hypertension & diabetes and also those who weigh only 100ish lbs. but their waistlines & body fat percentage are bigger than mine & their hip to waist ratio is not so good.

I just had to comment on your before and after photos... you look great!!!

Thanks a lot :-)... Really I was overweight since I was 15 & then went fatter when I finished school & started to work. Now that I'm 32, I'm very happy to surpass my GW of 125 lbs. Before, I never thought that one day I could suddenly fit in size 27 jeans. Well today I just bought a pair of Levi's bold curve jeans at size 26!

i think ppl assume based on own experience. Im short and live in a very thin area.

also, some ppl lost weight and became thin through this site. <_<

suzycreamcheese

it depends whether youre talking about the message boards, or the site in general.
On my friends list everyone is supportive, or they wouldnt be on my list ofc, but on the message boards people do spout some crap sometimes

I joined this site so I can lose my baby belly which I have has for two years. People need to understand just bc I look decent with my clothes on doesn't mean i look decent with them off. I saw pics of me in my bathing suit and it was not pretty all bc of the baby belly.

Truthfully people are going to comlain no matter what weight you are. When I was younger and a completely skinny ***** I heard comlaints, and now that I'm fat I hear complaints. Skinny people always hear how their anorexic and/or bulemic, fat people always hear how they need to put the cheeseburger down. You just gotta learn that people are going to talk no matter what and learn which people you need to listen too. My family is constructive in their criticisms (I think I spelled that wrong), other people not so much. I ignore the unconstructive meaness and take what I can from the people who matter.

*snort!

This may be off topic but...anyway, why do some people assume because someone is "thin" and on MFP that either they have 1. an eating disorder. 2. are crazy?
I haven't found that here but I was on the other site and I got a lot of hate. Don't people realize that you can be skinny fat and extremely unhealthy? There is such a thing as being 125lbs and having a horrendous hip to waist ratio, or having cholesterol through the roof.

On the other hand, it is possible to have a "horrendous" hip to waist ratio and be perfectly healthy. That is just about build. You just have to make sure both measurements stay low.

I for one do not want to be known as a Skinny *****...rather a Yummy Mummy

Surely if this site works,then there will be more and more skinny b1tches on here as time goes on. I know that when I get there eventually, I will still be using MFP, as this is now how I live,not just a diet plan. :happy:

I have actually noticed some comments here about why would anyone be here if they don't have weight to lose and was surprised. I came here thinking it was mainly a fitness and exercise site. I just really wanted to lose about 8 lbs or so but more importantly, just started running and exercising regularly and was looking for people to share that obsession with. I love logging my food because it has helped me eat better. I've had people in real life think I'm nuts for tracking my food at all and I'm sure some think I'm overboard or have an eating disorder when in reality, I eat way better than any of them. Also, I love it here because all of the success stories have made me so happy and I love supporting people on their journeys no matter what they are. I'm not here to be skinny. I'm here to get in the best shape of my life and be proud of my body.

That's awsome Carrie1128.
