Do your siblings share your body type?

the VAST majority of my extended family is heavily overweight, including my mother and both sisters. i myself am just a few pounds over weight by technical bmi standards, however i'd still like to drop about 30..

i lucked out and got my height from my father, i'm 5'9 [he was 6'3] and both my sisters while not super short arent any taller than 5'7 same with my mom. theyre all much heavier and not active whatsoever and eat awful. i've begged my mom and one of my sisters to join my gym but they just arent ready i guess. its kinda like a drug addict i suppose theyve gotta want it. my other sister i dont get along too well with so she can deal with her issues without my support seeing as she doesnt support me in any of my goals.

so basically i lucked out. soon enough i'll be the tal and skinny sister. not just the tall slightly chunky sister! haha

I have 5 siblings....I am the biggest of my siblings. All of us, except my youngest brother, have struggled with weight issues. We all have to be careful about our consumption. We are all very similar body types, all the girls with large chests and skinny legs. The boys are both very broad shoulders, and both very strong without trying. The boys have skinny legs too.

My oldest brother is 6'6" and weighs about 200 lbs, My other brother is 6' 2" and weighs about 190. Me.. I'm 5'10' and heavier than either of them by quite a bit.


Sigh... wish I was built like my big brother...except with boobs and no man parts!

BARELY. We're both pear-hourglass, but my younger sister's boobs are HUGE making her look more like an hourglass (she's still my shape though), and I put on muscle a lot easier than she does, so I'll always be slightly larger and curvier (and always stronger...for those obligatory older sister beatings, lol.)

Absolutely not. I've always been on the verge of being overweight, while my brother was always on the verge of underweight. He's now picked up elite training so is in MUCH better shape than I am, as I try to just slim down. He does help me out a lot though. Like my own personal trainer!

I have two older brothers and they are both over 6'5" and skinny! I am 5'4" and have always been a bit tubby (before gaining weight in my teens). They promised me that when I hit puberty I'd get tall and skinny. They lied! haha

When we (I have a younger sister and brother) were born I was the long and light one - now I am the short fat one! :noway:

There's definitely a contrast between my brother and I. He's 3 years younger than me and very thin. He's only about an inch taller than me and a good healthy weight. I, on the other hand, am way over weight. We ate the same foods growing up and we were both very picky eaters and even as our appetites developed more, I just started to gain weight while he didn't. He has my dad's genes because my dad was skinny back in the day at his age too. I guess they have high metabolisms. My mom on the other hand used to be thin as well but it's always been easier for her to gain weight. After giving birth twice, she never lost all the weight but age makes it harder I think.

Out of seven kids (five girls and two boys) I got the fat genes!!! Ugh!!!! I have struggled with my weight all my life.....my sisters were HORRIBLE to live with....they teased me and made me feel awful about myself....I have one sister who STILL to this day makes cracks about my weight.....I am about 164 lbs (5'7) and its still NOT thin enough for her....she makes comments about how fat people gross her out....very hurtful. But the good news is...I have two boys now and they do not have weight issues because I have taught them to eat right and I have also taught them to be KIND to others no matter what their weight is.......Still looking to lose about twenty pounds but I am doing it for ME ......no one else!!!

My sister is slightly taller and was chubby as a kid but through her teens she's been fairly small. I'm shorter and have bigger hips and was getting to become the fat sister =p.
My mom would also say she fed us the same things, but I was a closet eater!
