Somatotypes are a myth. Not even developed by a physiologist but a psychiatrist based on people's behaviors. Don't fall for it. If you're thin it's because you lack muscle and don't eat enough to support adding it.

Musclomorph.
Yea, somatypes are not an actual thing.3 -
Used to be short, fat, and round.
Now I'm still short and fat, but not as much. With a big butt and boobs.
Is this supposed to be a competition? Kinda lame.

I've always had an athletic build.
I find it easy to put muscle on so I just sit on my butt and eat.

That would depend on that particular individual's genetics, skeleton, muscle, etc. They might look like that after losing or they might not.
Our body shape is dependent at least partially on our genetics and bone structure, sure. But that's not the same thing as the somatypes that the OP is referencing. Somatypes are bunk.2 -

I'm trying to understand you. "Our body shape is dependent at least partially on our genetics and bone structure.." Am I missing something here?
And for the record, debate aside, you and me both know lady A will never look like lady B, stop that nonsense.1 -

How's it any more of a competition than the selfie threads? Honest question, not trying to be snarky. And I think that you're absolutely beautiful, you shouldn't feel insecure about your body.
Because OP said "Let's see who dominates MFP".
I wasn't aware selfie threads were supposed to be competitive either. I thought those were just for us to feel pretty and validated by likes, awesomes, and quotes from internet strangers.
And I'm not being snarky either. Lord knows I post enough in the selfie thread.
Am I pretty???? Someone please tell me I'm pretty!!
And thanks for the beautiful compliment.

Body shape and somatype are not the same thing. Body shape obviously is real but somatype has been debunked1 -
^^^ Lady A can certainly look like Lady B but up the point that her genetics will partially determine many factors of the natural shape.. Have the lady add in body composition changes, i.e. build muscle and this changes up things immensely.. actually have the ability to look better than Lady B.. Depends on how much work you are willing to put in.2

What's your definition of the difference between the two?

I'm not saying she can't look better, of course she can. I'm saying she can look better but she won't have that body shape.1 -

Body shape is the 'general' shape or 'figure' of a person which is defined mainly by the molding of skeletal structures, as well as the distribution of muscles and fat.. Everyone's genetics determines all of this.
This body TYPE called somatypes are bunk.. not sure what else to say here..0
