    I think that was not a skinny fat. Your body look prefect.

    No I wouldn't say you were skinny fat.

    I think of skinny-fat as slim, looks good in clothes etc but with a high body fat %, no muscle definition and doesn't really look good out of clothes.

    One person's view of herself going from fat to skinny fat to hot and fit....I don't think the middle one is that bad, not too skinny fat, but the third is by far better...

    It took me a lot of hard work to get there, I wanted compliments from my friends at the time damn it!

    That was me, on holiday in Thailand when I was around 61kgs lol I am now 63.9.

    I didn't want to indicate that it was me to begin with because I wanted the dead-set truth :P

    I just had some photos up on facebook a while ago and felt like I had a body to be proud of but not a single one of my 300 friends said 'nice body!' or anything nice like that... so it made me wonder if I actually looked disgusting.... so I thought I'd check to see if I was considered a skinny fat. I think too much >.<

    They didn't comment because they were jealous!
    Dont relye on other people to tell you you look good, go by how you feel and how you look to yourself. when you KNOW you look good and feel good you will raidate it.

    Honestly I know I'm still half asleep but until I read the thread I thought you put up a model picture just asking a random question. Your picture looks fantastic and no where near skinny fat. Someone posted I think it was bodygallery.com where you can view body shapes for your height and goal weight. That helped me the other night. I have a friend that starves herself to loose weight and weighs alot less than me. But I had to remember that muscle weights more than fat . So although I will not see the low numbers on the scale I have alot of muscle b/c I've always worked out. I took a year off from exercising so although I gained a few pounds it looked like more b/c my muscle was changing to fat. So long story short , that sight reminded me I don't wanna be skinny fat . I have turned over my scale told my husband to hide it lol I'm doing 5 days of cardio and lifting weights and the numbers shall fall where they fall.

    Skinny fat to me is to be skinny but with out muscle or tone, so you look alright dressed, but naked, not that nice.......In my case, I was underweight, but still carrying fat, and extra skin from having kids....So adding 10lbs and gaining some muscle and tone made a huge diff even though I didn't really change size at all, I plan to add another 10-13lbs. Then I think I will finally be happy with my body...I still feel too thin.

    Yeah, skinny-fat is better than fatty-fat. :flowerforyou:

    :laugh:

    I am trying to go from fatty-fat to fit. I hope to skip the skinny-fat phase. :tongue:

    Definitely not skinny fat.

    To me, skinny fat would be if you're a healthy to low weight, but with enough excess body fat to create rolls, muffin tops, etc. The low body weight is because of low muscle mass, not from low body fat.

    You look fantastic, but a lot of times friends feel funny telling friends they have a hot body.

    I look worse than you and I get facebook "looking great" things because they know I've lost 70lbs and they better say it.

    You look great. Don't let the jealous people hold you back lol

    i'd say you are skinny-FIT...which is DEFINITELY a GOOD THING!! just curious...how tall are you?

    oh and as far as your friends not commenting on FB, don't worry about it. i try not to get so wrapped up in FB. i know you're not posting pics in order to be complimented but that is what people think...and then they DON'T comment or "like" your photo because they don't want you to blow yourself up. what's important is that you feel good about yourself...and from the way you look in your photo, you should feel very good about yourself. you look amazing!
