    "Big bones" aren't that significant.

    Speak for yourself :laugh:

    My bad :tongue:

    In, because all the other threads are about black magic love guru's and I'm already married.

    For the OP 5'8" 176lbs, 31% body fat, yea I look about like that. I lose weight all over, so no, it doesn't "look" like I have that much fat, but trust me it's there, and I don't really notice it until it starts going away.

    Haven't read the other posts, but yes, it's muscle. ;) That's a good thing. Don't be focused on the weight. Obviously, if girls who are lighter than you, but bigger, that should really say something. It says that what you're doing is working. FYI, BMI is a bunch of BS. If a seriously muscular person goes to the doctor, with like a 6% body fat, and a butt load of muscle, he will be considered obese, simply because of his height and weight. That is all BMI measures. It does not take into account fat or muscle. Be very proud of yourself!!! :wink: :happy: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Heeheehee... How could you turn my perfectly tasteless smut into something so adorable?! That seems wrong. :laugh:

    It's a gift. Perhaps.

    Random trivia, smut is an edible fungus that grows on corn, but don't Google image search "corn smut"...

    Ok, read some of the other posts, now let me rephrase that. You probably have more muscle than the women you are comparing yourself to, but like someone else already said...don't compare your body to other people. Seriously, it will drive you batty!!! :wink:

    So is there a name for someone who creates a potentially volatile thread, then leaves the thread to explode without ever returning to comment?

    Perhaps a grenade launcher?:laugh:

    I don't think the OP ever said she thought she was extra-muscular. She was just confused as to why her measurements are smaller than people who weigh more than her.

    If the answer isn't higher muscle, higher bone density still could contribute but the answer might be even more obvious:

    1) the people you're comparing to are lying about their weight, OR
    2) you carry weight in places not covered by typical measurements...like shoulders, arms, calves, etc.

    I was thinking 1 and 2 is very likely.

    OP you look top heavy relative to your hips/waist. It's possible you measure smaller in these areas than others who weigh less but then people typically don't give their arm, thigh measurements. You just carry it differently. You look your weight, and I don't mean anything bad by that.

    need more info …

    how many calorie per day …?

    are you in deficit, maintenance, bulk?

    what is your lifting routine like?

    any cardio?

    I'm at about a 10% deficit now, trying to lose fat, I'm at a bit over 1800 with 45 carbs 30 protein and 25 fat for macros, and I do new rules of lifting for women, it's my second time through it, i'm on stage 5, and i do that 2-3 times a week and i run 2-3 times a week about 2-4 miles but I'm new to running so building that up and building up speed

    I'm not trying to say I'm ripped is that why I weigh more, I'm saying am I muscular? is that why? is there another reason? i'm a 20 year old college student sorry for being self concious about the number and wondering about reasons for it when I wear like a 28 (waist size) jeans.


    I do have a bigger top, but I didn't know if that could contribute to that big a difference, that's why I asked, I wasn't claiming anything, I was giving you my info so you can all do some deductive reasoning and give me some kinds of answers.

    They just got carried away lol - you are just built differently - that is all everyone is different - when I am down to around 180 i carry it well too but I am a "wee bit" over that right now which is why I am here

    Don't worry about it so much. You're pretty average in terms of body composition. I understand you're self conscious. We pretty much all are, and young women are worse than most thanks to the media.

    Don't worry so much about comparing yourself to others. Just do the best you can do for you and be the best you that you can be.
