On the other hand, I'm 5'4" and went from 170 to 122-123 and mine are fine. Proportionately they're bigger than they were before-- I went from a 36C to a 32D.

Well you still lose a cup size.
I lost 80 pounds, I'm 5'5" and 132 pounds and I'm in 34D (or 36C). I was in 36 DD before. We're just pretty busty in my family.
For what it's worth, I shake my head at those huge artificial bums, personally. And yes I do judge the persons who do it as 'trash'.
I agree. Even at my thinnest back in high school I was still a DDD/EEE. Damn the women in my family for cursing us with a giant chest. I had a reduction in my early 20's though so it no longer effects me. THank God. However my sister has not had a reduction and her being 5'2 and 150# has boobs so big (natural) that she has to make her own bras otherwise they are hundreds of dollars and can only find them online. Her band is only a 32 but she is in the H or I department. It's sad really and uncomfortable.
The fake stuff...I agree are not sexy. I think the real parts of women should be loved and appreciated more than fake idolized. I do realize I'm not all real anymore but I didn't have a reduction to look sexy I did it because my back and neck hurt when I wasn't overweight and I was 20....I couldn't imagine what it would feel like today if I hadn't had one.
Dyemysoul, I can't believe your sister is making her own bras. She must be really talented! Another option she may want to consider is Ewa Michalak http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/About-me-cabout-eng-3.html . She makes a large range of sizes. I like that I can get a half-cup, plunge, or padded bra in my cup size (which is larger than your sister's). For some reason, bra makers think that if you have big boobs you must want unpadded. I already have big boobs. If you can see my nipples on top of it, it's just ridiculous! It's not like the little bit of padding in a bra is going to make me look any bigger, but it will make me less self conscious. They are very reasonably priced, but it does take about a month usually to get them--she makes them to order.
Awesome thank you for the site...i will pass it along to her. She is incredibly talented with a sewing machine!!0 -

Ain't nothing wrong with that, of course. But let's call it what it is.
Her butt is fake too. That's the look I like, curvy, but not so flabby, yet not so toned.
I like her boobs, they're fake but they look natural.

lol but if you like the fake butt and the fake boobs then you cant have real results. That doesn't go together.

TIL- I am not womanly.
@rainbowbow you certainly have a womanly figure IMHO
I completely agree with you on your posts.
I'm not here to judge the OP or some of the other posters claiming thick. If you are happy calling yourself thick or toned then so be it. I just can't see carrying so much weight at that height and still using curvy as an adjective. But I still call myself fat at the 200lbs I am right now.0 -
I am 5'2" and was 145...it's NOT a good weight for me at all, but everyone is different. I look pudgy and a couple of months pregnant. I now weigh 138 and heading to 125 - 130. I have seen heavier women that are in total proportion, with no belly...so I can't say if 145 is a good weight or not for the OP. Strozman....I have to agree, 145 is a little much at that height...but again, everyone is built differently0

Another thank you to @dyemysoul for the renttherunway recommendation!
I've got pretty much no curves other than those in my hair. That's just my body type and I'm fine with it. I do find it interesting how different the same weight at the same height can look, based on body shape so this thread has been fun to follow.0 -

Realistically someone probably feels the same way about something you do.
Personally I'm not bothered by such things but large butts are my aesthetic preference. I spend actual hours in the gym striving for a bigger backside even tho mine is already large. I'm sure someone thinks that makes me trashy but I probably don't much care for their aesthetic either.
My issue is people spending money to make it big enough to look like a cartoon character. Not with people with a naturally larger butt (even if they go to the gym to make it bigger - it still won't look as huge as the pictures above).
I think taking issue with how people spend their money or what others find to be asthetically pleasing is pretty silly, tbh. It is interesting tho, If I dedicate my life to a bigger butt than nature gave me it's fine (even tho even now my proportions are such that theres a 12 inch difference between waist and largest part of my butt which isn't that far off from those paid for ones. Amber Rose for example is 27-41, vs my 27-39) but if I buy a butt bigger than nature gave me it's trashy based off the totally subjective opinion of what's achievable. (That 2 inches makes all the difference I guess)
I mean you're entitled to think something is trash. Undoubtedly there is someone who holds the same opinion about something you do.0 -
Those big ol butts are nasty lol. If you feel healthy and are happy stay where you are at, but your BMI says otherwise, regarding your health0

This is false. It depends on how your weight is distributed. I have a healthy BMI - 21.6 and large hips/butt at 39.0 -
"since thick is in".... huh?? We must live in different countries.0

personally, i don't care what ordinary civilians do, i don't think the bodies discussed look "trashy", and i have no issue with surgery per se.
i do think though that what famous people do to their bodies matters more, inasmuch as they might set up unrealistic expectations. like OP is trying to work out her dietary and personal body and fitness goals according to an aesthetic that was achieved with money, so that's just going to set her up for frustration if she's not going to be doing surgery (most likely - some women do have naturally big bums, obviously, or the genetic potential to build them up without surgery).
in that way i don't see a difference between the curvy fad and fitspo or thinspo.0 -
I'm 5'6" and 159 lbs. (considered overweight on the BMI scale). I go to the gym 6 days a week. I can run a 7:30 mile. I run 2-5 miles (8 min pace) about 4 days a week. I lift heavy things 4 times a week. My blood pressure is low and I'm completely healthy. So the BMI chart can kiss my a**. If a doctor examines me and takes note of my excellent stats and observes my fitness level and still tells me I need to lose 5 lbs. to get to "normal" BMI in order to consider me healthy...I'm finding a new doc.

I still want curves, and an *kitten*. i feel like if I lose anymore weight I lose my boobs, I'm not into that skinny skinny look. What do you think about 145 pounds on a 5'2 frame? Maybe ten more pounds? I'm scared to lose my butt and boobs.
Plus I'm having a hard time losing anymore weight
I personally don't think it's a good idea to change your appearance to whatever is in vogue or considered to be beautiful by society's standards at the time. If you are happy with the way you look and feel confident, then that's all that really matters and who gives a *kitten* about anybody else's opinion.0 -
It all just comes down to how you are feeling. If you have great energy and you are feeling good about yourself, that's what should help you decide if you want to lose more or maintain
this is me at 5'0 and 180 pounds. Everyone carries weight differently
edited to say: I am trying to lose weight, but I like how I am regardless. It starts with loving yourself0 -

You look great!!!
Goodness... I'm working up my speed with running. A 7:30 mile? You're fast! When I run for speed, I've done a mile in just under 8:30 and I felt like I was running like a cheetah! Go you!
When I run distance... I average just under a 10 minute mile.
Working on improving that!

If people want to look at women who are known to have had surgery and still hold that as their aesthetic goal then nothing anyone says here is going to help them. And, honestly, delusions about bodies come not just from famous people: people think that they can shrink wrap, tea drink, andnciffee enema their way to thinness so at least trying to emulate Amber Rose or Kim K will get you in a gym.0 -

Preach and testify.
My GP and I are in a Mexican standoff regarding my weight. He doesn't like that I'm vaguely overweight because reasons and I don't care because reasons and so we're both displeased with the other.
PS: hello. Your calves tho.

What puzzles me the most is what'll these people do once big butts are "not in".
Are they going to go and do another surgery?
This is just WOW!!! Is Friday here yet?0
