I have no motives to make myself "skinny" what i really want is to be healthy and an athlete! I want to eventually have abs and be strong and fit. In no way am i knocking skinny women i just think for me a more athletic look would be a bigger accomplishment. My overall one year goal is to run a half marathon and possibly start on the lifting team at my college next year.

Sounds like a great goal. I'm like you - no desire to be skinny. I started on 1/1/2011. Completed my first half marathon 11/10/12, and my second on 12/9/12. What are you doing to meet your goals?0

I am registered for my first 5K in august but hope to be working on more like 6 miles by then. I also am starting heavy lifting to start toning up this squish i have left from weight loss. I am trying to be consistent with my running and am always pushing myself to work my hardest. Like my gym owner/trainer said "its not a workout until youve given it your all"0

Check out some hot pictures of women on the internet. That seems to do it for me. Hubby thinks I'm a lezzy but oh well.0

Hey, strong and athletic is the way to go.0

I'm the same. I've never been athletic, so as I am right now (aka, a fatty) I'm actually in better shape than before. Also, look up Christmas Abbott. She's gorgeous and athletic!0

I totally agree. With my body I know that I'll never be skinny and I'm finally starting to be okay with that because I'd rather be healthy. I think you have the right attitude and as long as your main focus is getting healthy then go for it and never quit!0

Everyone has different goals. Nothing wrong with wanting to be athletic. Some want to be skinny. I want to be ripped. Different strokes for different folks. It would be sad if we all wanted to look the same way.0

I support your choices. Now go do it!0

Oh how boring life would be, if we all looked the same ♥0

Sounds like this topic was more suited as a status on your news feed rather than a topic in the forums.0

I think it's brilliant to want to be strong not skinny. I'm not doing this to be skinny, I want my damn curves back and if that means that when I hit my goal I'm too thin you can bet your bum I'm going to gain a few pounds back (I'm giving myself enough room weight wise to be able to do that) I think you have some really great, really HEALTHY goals.0

Different looks for different folks!! Good luck with your runs and your goals!!!0

If I were in my early twenties I might be more inclined to go towards the lower end of my BMI range, but being in my 30s I feel that strong and muscular will keep me from looking older than I am.0

I just want to be a wookie.

I have no desire to be skinny ever again. I want to forever be and remain fit and athletic.0
