anyone else have a skinny sister?

My youngest sister is skinny and tall. I don't mind my height so much (I was always the short one in my family) but I'll be so glad when I also get to be called skinny by my other sisters (I have three).

I have 3 sisters and 3 sister in laws, and everyone of them is SKINNY! it makes me sick somedays.
My sister in laws all are about 5" 5' and taller and are very skinny. One of them is due to have her 2nd baby in less then 2 years and did not gain anything but a belly. :devil:
I have been working my butt of in the gym for the past 6 weeks, working out 6 days a week and have not lost a pound. I am getting very frustraed.

I don't have any sisters, but I have a skinny mom! Well not exactly skinny, but she weighs about 30lbs less than I do! Like you, I will be her weight, or less when I reach my goal. I totally understand where you're coming from. Its no fun to shop with a mom who can wear the cute clothes in the juniors section when you can't!

Same here, my mom was always skinier than me. I can't wait to be skinier then my mom. I can do it.

I have three older brothers-- all over 6 feet tall-- one of 'em pushing 400 pounds, another pushing 300 and the third 250 range--

I am the skinny sister-- nothing to be proud of in my family-- :noway:

My sister is about 11 years older than me and has always been super skinny. I think right now she's at her heaviest and is maybe 115 lbs. She's about 5'2". She got her dad's genes, I got our mom's genes. Our mom is obese (she's doing weight watchers though and is down about 25 lbs! I'm so proud of her). I struggle to keep my weight in check but my sister doesn't have to. She burns everything she eats (or drinks). She's a big fan of wine and beer, and sometimes I get so frustrated that she stays so skinny when if I drink alcohol I automatically gain it seems. Oh well, I'm proud of myself for what I've done, and at 125.5 lbs I think I'm doing okay.

Yeah, I have one of those and she'll still be smaller after I reach my goal weight. But she's also 2 inches shorter, hehe.

I guess I have the worst of all worlds. My sister is skinny mini, no matter what she eats or drinks. I have always envied her for that. My Mom is also thin as are my 2 brothers. Guess I got the genes from my Dad's side of the family, my Dad's weight has always been up and down, just like me. I am determined to get this weight off once and for all. No more excuses. It is all about ME!!!!! Good luck to all and hang in there, we may have got the fat genes but we have a lot of other wonderful genes.

My sister is 4 years younger and it does seem unfair. She has her babies and comes home from the hospital in her skinny jeans. I had my son five months ago and still find myself wearing maternity shirts. I feel you but my thing is my sister is skinny, all three of my sister in laws are skinny, my mom and my mother in law. So when we are all together I really feel like I don't fit in. But I will in time.

Well, my dad's 6'8" and over 300 lbs, so I've pretty much reconciled myself to the fact that I'm never going to be a size two. :grumble: :ohwell: I definitely think there's a genetic component to weight. My sister, who's 26, is about five inches shorter and 30 lbs. heavier than me, though. We used to weigh about the same, but now I'm the "skinny one".

oh growing up i was the skinny dying one and my sister is the round chubby cute thing. I was forced to eat alot of herbal health things to keep me alive and gain weight. However it looks like the effect only just started to show around end of high school *laughs* and my sister, like a bean stalk growing up, used all the nutrient in her chubby little body and now a hot chick every guy desires. XD We are only 3 years apart, i'm 24 and she'll be 21 this year, but i am proud of her and she's my target and inspiration. Having said that, she likes to insult me to motivate me to slim down(but she's my health dictionary too!). I guess siblings will always have that sibling fight XD
