Would you be fit or skinny?

This is purely a what if thing before anyone starts saying you can be both! And yes I am bored!

Anyway I would have to say as much as I know I should say fit I would have to go with skinny as I never have been in my life and would just like to know what its like

    Fit. Definitely fit.

    I guess for me I've never been that big ever either .... I've never been skinny (always a chubby child) but I've been probably on the high end of normal for my height. I'm only a few pounds away from overweight with my BMI (but I don't really put too much stock into BMI) but I've always been more proud of being strong. I'd rather be able to say I'm strong and fit rather than just saying I'm skinny. And I still want to be a woman. It's important for me to still have curves and look soft and womanly. I admire women who are all muscles but I prefer still having curves and having a bit of fat on me.

    skinny because that's why i'm here. If I could not work out and eat whatever I wanted, I probably wouldn't do anything. I know that sounds bad, but I'm just being honest with myself.

    Fit. If only because there's a much greater chance of me staying fit once I get there than of me staying skinny.

    Definitely fit....And this may sound crazy to some of you but I wish it were easier to be fit without being so skinny.

    If I had to choose between, I'd choose skinny, because I want to look good!

    And yes I know fit people usually look good, but I take it the OP means fit but looking the way you do now, OR staying at the same fitness level but being skinny.

    So yeah. I'm aiming for both, but for this game, yes, skinny (:

    Fit! My husband is in the marines and my goal through all of this is to be able to go running and go hiking with him and be able to keep up!

    I've been skinny, I was 120 pounds and out of shape, and my self esteem was in the toilet.

    There's no way I could be fit at the weight I'm at now, if somehow I could be, I would be one very scary mass of muscle.

    I'd rather be fit because with my musculature I'm pretty sure I couldn't ever pull off skinny. Besides, I'd rather be curvy any day.

    Being fit is more important, you all sound very young yet but as our bodies age we naturally lose the layer under our skin that fills us out (especially face) so you start looking older and thin people get more wrinkles younger if their faces already have little fat on them!

    Your bones lose density and if your already very skinny with little muscle your risk of osteoarthritis is gonna double.

    Exercise helps with depression and stuff like that too so if you're fit (even if that means been slightly heavier) you're going to be happier and live for longer and if anything should happen to you that you hadn't planned on... you'll stand a much better chance of getting through it!

    When I started losing weight I just wanted to be loads lighter after been embarrased about having to be lifted in public up and down steps (I'm wheelchair user) after someone commented about me needing to lose weight. After joining MFP and learning about muscles and nutrition etc I realise I need muscle to stand a chance of staying independant.

    Fit.
    Fit is healthy.
    Just because one is skinny does not mean they are fit or even healthy.

    FIT !!!!!!
    In high school I was skinny in fact I was ridiculously skinny. I weighed 119 lbs and was 5'9" tall. I barely got into the Navy because of my size. Skinny may seem great to someone who has never been but it has drawbacks if you are not also fit. It is tremendously embarrassing to be 119 lbs and not able to do a single pull up or pushup (just sad). I've been fat too and that is no picnic either, I have also been fit while in the Navy and it was great. Looked good, felt good and people noticed.
