Shredded vs Skinny?
Saw the Kim K. thread and so I felt it was necessary to get opinions on what people view as skinny? For me, the pic that was shown in that thread was AWESOME......I wish I had a body like hers......and so to me, she looks skinny and does not need to lose weight. To others, I have seen, they think she does. So what is your definition of skinny and why?

I don't see her as skinny at all. She is curvy. In the UK she'd be about a size 12-14 like me. I like that look, so long as she keeps fitness levels up so it doesn't all go jiggly, but no, that's definitely not "skinny". She could lose maybe 10 - 20lbs if she wanted.
Slim to me would be about a size 8-10, and "skinny" would be below that.0 -
To me skinny is being at a low bmi with low bfp and with little muscle definition. That doesn't look good in my opinion, I like to see muscles beneath the skin on men and women, not body builder muscles just athletic, well toned and defined muscles.
I suspect I judge human flesh the way I judge dog and horse flesh lol.0 -
I think Kim looks curvy and beautiful but not skinny. if she had smaller boobs and butt she would be skinny but would lose the hourglass effect. I think of skinny as being in the single digits size wise.0

Good answers so far!! I feel as though the hour glass look is due to the wide angle lense.....ha ha!! In seriousness though.....it does look like the pic is stretched out a tad.......0

I would love a body like Kim, I think she looks good - curves where they should be0

Kim K, says she's a US size 2, I don't believe that at all, she's too short & wide for that to be true.
She's not fat, I think she's got a lovely curvy figure, she just lies about her dress size when it's obvious she's nothing less than a US size 6!0 -
If I were lucky enough to wake up one morning with a body like Kim's I think I'd want to tone up a little and probably have a boob reductuction but that would just be my personal taste. I wouldn't want to be that short though, too used to being taller.
Now where's that magic lamp?0 -

*hands over the magic lamp* here......try this......I too would want to be a little bit more toned myself if I was lucky enough to wake with her figure.......breast reduction, not so sure as pictures can be decieving. As far as the heighth I am used to being short.....I am five feet.0 -
Nooooooooo to the boob reduction!!!! Keep hips and boobs, just lose inches off the thighs/ bum and she'd be perfect

I'd prefer narrow hips as wide hips and a larger quadraceps angle leave women more prone to knee and ankle injuries during running etc, same goes for the boobs, I'd rather have small boobs that didn't in the way during sport or need industrial strength sports bras. (Fortunate there as even at over 300lbs I was only a 42D, less than that now)0

She's not shredded or skinny. She's a feminine, curvy woman, and I would feel lucky to look so good! We come in all shapes and sizes. Why the need to pigeonhole everyone?0

Ok, gotcha. Sorry for misunderstanding Skinny to me is very little fat OR muscle tone, and generally not attractive or healthy-looking in my opinion. 0 -

No worries......I think skinny loses something in the translation I think.......for instance, right now I say "I want to be skinny"......but skinny to me means probably 100 pounds lighter. BUT when I get to be 100 pounds lighter I will say "I want to be lean", meaning I'd like a well toned body with the right amount of fat for my heighth and build.0 -
The definition of skinny when and where I was growing up was chicken legs and boney looking. I wouldn't call Kim skinny, I think she has an awesome body. Some skinny girls I know are curvy as well, when they have wider hip bones they can look curvy too so I would just keep with the skinny is boney and fragile looking. Thus I don't find skinny as a compliment. Shredded would be a compliment,as would be lean and strong.
Skinny was an insult when I was a kid but I know my teen daughter and her friends now days all want to be skinny, even though she is already at the lower end of healthy weight.
So we encourage her and her friends to play sports more often, emphasizing being fit and healthy. 0 -

Skinny to me is synonymous with thin in that it by default includes a low dress size but may also be technically underweight in terms of numbers. Skinny does not necessarily mean toned, because some skinny people are just sticks and others are more athletic- the inclusion of muscle tone and a healthier weight typically makes me put you in a separate category that isn't exactly skinny, per se.
As for.Kim k, she's too curvy to meet most people's definition of skinny, she has meat on her bones in an appealing way that just doesn't qualify as skinny.0 -

Oops.....my bad......thought you meant that it was just like this one so I decided to try to clarify! Sorry! The thread you are looking for is below this called "Someone called Kim K fat" or something like that......0 -

She is a little chunky and could lose inches from the right places.0 -

To me, skinny is skin hanging on bones with no muscle definition - and the person just doesn't look good or healthy.
Shredded to me is serious muscle definition with a particular focus on the ab area. Personally this is not a look I would like for myself.
I would have to agree with someone above, I think the picture may have been doctored a little bit to show her wider than she really is. I wouldn't call her skinny - I would call her figure perfect for her and one I desire.0 -

So.......skinny = stick figure, athletic = lean and toned, and lean = healthy looking and very little muscle?0 -
Skinny to me means being on either the lowest end of a normal bmi, or below normal, with very little body fat, and no muscle definition. Bony, basically.0

skinny to me means that nothing is jiggling/fat cannot be grabbed. kim k is skinny to me, thats what her body looks like, i know what its like to be big boned0

For me Skinny is when I can see ribs, Shredded is when I can see abs.
Kim K is neither she has a lovely curvacious figure but she has youth on her side at the moment. I will be interested to see her in 20 years time when middle age spread hits that pert bottom and wide hips, If I am still around.:drinker:
Jealous? me? never 0 -
I wouldn't call Kim K skinny. She has a tiny waist and also a bit of "meat." she'd be skinny if there were visible bones and/or her limbs were smaller and weaker looking.
But she is definitely small. I have seen her claim size 4-6. And that is probably right. I bet if she was standing next to some really skinny celebrity, she'd look a little bigger in some areas, but definitely in the same size neighborhood. She is probably about the same size as Jennifer Hudson is now (in clothing) or a little smaller. I believe J.Lo is also size 4-6. She just seems bigger because she carries it in her hips. One of my friends is a 0-2, but she is a little hippy and has a curvy butt. So she "looks' bigger, but in reality she is tiny. She just has a curvier lower body than the average size 2 person. She'd look skinny if she lost 10 pounds, but at her current size she looks great.
I think she has a great figure, but personally, I like and probably need a little more muscle tone. But I have bigger limbs than she does, and the muscle tone shoes up pretty fast on me. That's why I've decided my goal is somewhere between her and Serena Williams.

Kardashian isn't "skinny," she's "skinny-fat." She looks to have very low muscle tone, and excess body fat.
As a man, what do I consider ,"the perfect woman's body?" Gotta love Staci, the powerlifting super hero.

What do I consider "skinny?" Someone with no muscle tone that's unhealthy looking. "Skinny" is very unattractive, in my opinion.0
