I keep hearing about people being Skinny Fat and just wanted to know who'd be classed as skinny fat.
This is a photo of me when i was 130 pounds.
I'm now 12 pounds heavier, but would like to get back down to that weight - but interested to know if i was "skinny fat".

You should've just posted your true intentions: "I wanted to post a photo of myself in my underwear so I can be validated. VALIDATE ME."

Yo, check the community guidelines before posting underwear pictures.
12. No Profane, Vulgar, Sexually Explicit or Illegal Images
All images on the site, including all profile pictures and images posted in the forums, should be work-place friendly. While we reserve the right to remove any photo we feel is inappropriate, here are some partial guidelines as to what is not acceptable:

- no underwear, thongs, g-strings, or banana hammocks
- no pants or shorts worn mid-hip or below (no saggers)...0 -
Skinny fat has nothing to do with your appearance. It's a derogatory term used to define someone who hasn't used any form of physical exercise while losing weight. Lean muscle mass is lost along with fat when weight is lost with caloric deficit and no fitness regimen is followed.
Start a weight lifting regimen while you work on your calorie deficit and you'll have no worries.0 -

I think you're probably right!0 -
I've removed the photo,.... but it was just a valid question.
I'm also over the age of 21.0 -

Why shouldn't being weak be something that opens people up to criticism in the same way that being overweight does?0 -

No, it isn’t.Start a weight lifting regimen while you work on your calorie deficit and you'll have no worries.
This is good advice, however. Or lift weights without a calorie deficit, to maintain weight but lose fat.
Ladsel, you might be interested in the Skinny Fat to Fit group. Just be sure not to go underweight while trying to lose fat. If you gain muscle, you’ll tone up while maintaining a healthy weight.0 -

Because people don't deserve to be criticized in a derogatory fashion, period. Helpful feedback is one thing. Negative criticism is completely unnecessary, ever.0 -

It's not derogatory term, it is merely a descriptive simplification of someone who has a high BF% and whilst having what is considered reasonable or lower body weight/muscle mass for their size, height.
You could go with the medical term for this is “MONW” or metabolically obese normal weight, but I think you would have to break down the acronym for the majority of the population.

because it refers to being within a normal BMI with a high percentage of body fat which still puts them at risk for obesity related health issues. Skinny Fat is another term for "Normal Weight Obesity" of which many studies have been done.0 -

No it's not. Skinny fat is a term used for people with an BMI that is ok, but with a percentage of body fat, that is way to high, resulting in the same effects than being overweight. That has nothing to do with weight loss, it can happen to everyone.

So call someone 'normal weight obese' then. Calling an overweight or obese person 'fat' is derogatory. Calling someone 'skinny fat' then, would be derogatory... follow me?

Only because you make it derogatory. Being fat is what it is. Being skinny fat is what it is. It's just like being tall, short, blue eyed, etc. It is only derogatory if you choose to believe being fat is inherently bad and therefore a negative thing to say instead of a descriptor.
I'm assuming you think being called "fat" is akin to someone calling you "lazy, slob, dirty, disgusting, no self-control, no self-respect, bad" etc. If those are the feelings that you associate with being fat, then i suggest you take a long hard look at it. That's your own perception.
Being fat is simply an attribute that results from someone eating too many calories repeatedly overtime. That's all.0 -

I would have to say that this is subjective, if you called me fat or obese when I was overweight neither would have had more of an effect on me, well actually obese would have probably upset me more to be honest. To me fat would just imply a little extra padding but obese has all the connotations of the illnesses associated with it.
I don't think you can categorically say that skinny fat, fat etc is derogatory because it depends on delivery, intention and the person on the receiving end.

This exactly. Being overweight is condemned in our society. Calling someone "fat" is putting them in their place in the social pecking order. Person loses weight and is no longer fat (therefore implicitly rising in social status) but insecure person tries to keep them in their place, hence "skinny fat," a sneer term designed to dismiss their weight loss as somehow not good enough.
Or, one could call someone "normal weight obese" except you can't because you're not their doctor and don't actually know one way or the other.0 -
When I say I was "fat," I am stating a fact, not making a social judgment. And I was faaaat.0

Dear god... did you not read anything we posted above? Or are you so heck-bent on being a victim that you cannot understand?
Fat is an attribute. Just like tall, short, etc. We just said that. All of this nonsense you posted is your own perception, which is keeping you in a victim mentality. All of these negative perceptions towards being fat are your OWN. Re-evaluate that for the sake of your happiness.-1 -
