    For me this would be too thin. In the second photo I see your ribs. The collar bone is extremely prominent, but when I see ribs below them, that looks emaciated to me. (It might not to you or others).

    Just for the record, I didn't "woo" you. I wouldn't. :flowerforyou:

    ". . . this may be thinner than you'd prefer for yourself, possibly a lot thinner . . . ". :)

    And meanwhile, I look at both of Ann’a pictures as absolute goals.

    Ann, you are amazing.

    Yup, I think Annpt77 looks healthy, and at a healthy weight. Gotta say, I love your shoulders and arms.

    Not criticizing luceroroho, we all have our own ideals and goals, but I’ve always been able to see my collarbone, I’d think I’d look strange if I couldn’t.

    Cheers, h.

    I don't think that seeing the collarbone looks emaciated, but the RIBS, to me yes. I also could see my collarbone for most of my life, but ribs above the breasts, no, not even at my thinnest (103 lbs. as a woman).

    It really depends on where a person holds their weight as to how emaciated they actually are. I hold very little around my top half but my stomach, hips and thighs tell a different story. Therefore, you will see my ribs when I am a healthy weight.

    Your view on what is too thin and reality may be two entirely different things.

    From my very first post on this thread, I said "for me." It's just an opinion. I also said "it looks". That clearly is different from "she is..." and again, that's MY opinion. I never said it was HER or anybody else's reality. For ME, seeing my ribs would be emaciated--I'd probably have to weigh 80 lbs. for that to happen.

    I think Ann looks great and she's always inspiring. I want to be just like her when I grow up!

    But I think her ribs above the breast may look more prominent because she has had a double mastectomy.

    Yes, that makes sense. I was thinking that too. I apologize if it sounded offensive.
