So ive been watching the Biggest Loser and looking at before and after pictures and a lot of people seem to look a LOT bigger than me when we weigh the same amount! I'm not complaining, but I am confused about why. I am not strong, I do not lift weights, I am really short... but i feel like a hippo when I realize... oh crap, i weigh the same!!

Not going to say how much i weigh, cause i dont want to offend anyone...


Does anyone else experience this? I'm not sure how to feel... I know i should not compare myself to others but i do anyway.

    Are those people the same height as you? Because that makes a BIG difference, also Body Fat%, your Body Frame even genetics play a part as to where your body stores fats.

    Are you tall? Tall women can carry extra weight much better than shorter women it seems.
