Adele.. fat?!

Trail_Addict · May 2012

I think it's funny how everyone throws around labels like "fat" so easily. Medically, she might be healthier at a lower weight, but I think God gave her the body that she has so that people wouldn't base their opinions of her music on how she looks. Also, genetics come in to play. She could just be big boned. For all we know, she could be healthier than us. Weight doesn't usually give the whole story. Bottom line, Adele is not fat. She has a body that is not skinny. "Average" is one word I cannot stand. There is no damn "average" weight. Everybody is different in many, many ways. Therefore Adele is not "above average" either. She is herself, and she is beautiful and confident and that's all that matters. I highly doubt that Adele would give a **** that some guy in a MFP forum just called her fat. Instead of that, we should be talking about how much we respect her. She weighs the same or less than the majority of North America so I don't see why people feel like they can single her out with the "fat" label just because she's famous. If your mother was the same size as Adele, would you say, "yeah, she's confident, beautiful and talented but she's FAT, so...."? No.Well, that's the end of my rant. Adele is not "fat". She's a human and she probably looks a lot like most of you.

You do realize there is no such thing as "big boned"? It's just a nice way of saying "fat".

Adele is not fat she just has curves!! it depends on every person definition of fat, overweight or obese.. at least for me shes so talented her voice is spectacular and the lyrics of her songs are amazing!!! I think people are way too confused of being healthy and being super skinny...

Why does everyone think Hollywood average is a 0? Most TV actresses are around a size 4-8 unless they're short. Even print models are around a size 4-6. You probably get the smallest size with runway models because sample sizes come in 2's and 4s. Usually its really short girls who are size 0's. Of course you see some smaller actresses but the majority who are successful are healthy weights.

Yes. Adele is chunky. Yes she has lost weight since becoming famous. I think she is beautiful! I hate that people complain about fat celebrities in general. Every-one should not be a size 0. As long as your healthy and happy with your body, who am I to tell you different.

No one said she should be a size 0, hater. No one should also be at the other end of the spectrum and be obese either.

I'm talking about Hollywood and the fact that any-one over a size 6 is "plus sized". She could have no health problems at all, due to her weight. Just because she is not "skinny" people want to raise hell on her. It's stupid!

Or...devils advocate here...people are just too determined to justify their own shape, rather than recognizing that people (possibly many) may not find it attractive.

Trust me, I've been fat. Honestly...I consider myself fat right now (two months post major surgery and 10-15lbs of fat gain in the interum). I just don't deny it and call myself 'buff'. Or the one I love the most...'bulking'.

Because it helps them justify. I'm not saying a size 10, 12, 14...whatever can't be beautiful (trust me...MFP alone contains a stupid amount of beautiful larger women...more than I imagined existed). I'm just saying stop projecting and justifying by calling it 'curvy'...and immediately saying that smaller women...aren't.

She has a great voice and I do like some of her music, but yes she is overweight.

^^^ this exactly.
overweight is the polite way of saying it.

michelleesther · May 2012

Adele is my favorite singer! I think if she wasn't famous and just a regular person walking fown the street and someone asked..."do I think she is fat?" My answer would be "no, just a little curvy" but because she is soooo famous the extra weight more scrutinized.

I always assumed that big-boned was a colloquial way of describing someone with a higher LBM? Are you saying that there can't be a significant variance in LBM?

bones + organs + skin + muscle + blood = LBM. Which of these are you saying she has a higher amount of for her frame size?

Her bones are most certainly not larger in size than the average person her height. That just doesn't happen.

I am not saying anything about Adele per se, I've never seen her up close. I never took that term to be literally about skeleton, but raher as a way to describe someone with a bigger 'build'.

PhillyTD · May 2012

I heart her. Who gives a flying *kitten*?!?!?

Debbe2 · May 2012

She's stunningly beautiful.

Aren't those all just other ways to avoid using the word "fat" (chubby, chunky, curvy, hefty, big-boned, heavy, full-figured, big, plus size). Maybe we're saying the same thing. Either way, I'm done with this thread tonight.

Who cares? She's a gifted musician.

Megdmcda · May 2012

wow just wow.......*smh*

Pinky67 · May 2012

Yes she is overweight. It's her choice though... And so am I, but not for long :bigsmile:

2012NSR · May 2012

I would say that Adele is slightly plump but she carries it very very well and always looks good and beautiful. She is a very talented singer and song writer. I had to laugh when someone said one hit wonder OMG!! She has won over 70 awards and is one of the biggest selling music artists in the world!!
