The woman who made the comment about Kate Upton being fat is intentionally maintaining a BMI of about 15. If you think that's a healthy brain that deserves to be taken seriously, continue giving her attention.0

She is beautiful and I think nearly perfect with a little fat in all the right places. I want to be more muscular and defined but that doesn't mean she isn't beautiful. None of it would matter though if people stopped buying the magazines with the anorexic girls in them in the first place. I think men by far and large find this look to by way more attractive than someone like Kate Moss or who ever is the top frail looking runway model of this decade.....look at all of the playboy centerfolds or sports illustrated girls. They are not runway thin. I doubt the average red blooded american man really likes the runway model look or wants to see them in a swimsuit. Women are who keep these women looking this way because we buy the stupid magazines....true story!0

Hmm...she is the cover model of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition ( I had bought it for my hubby) and she definitely looks slimmer in those photos. But I think she is just lovely here. Maybe the mag is photoshopped, or she just lost some weight for the shoot?
sadly, I'd say most likely photoshopped0 -
I think she's pretty, just like those VS models. However i really don't undrestand why this world has to go to extreme, want to be the skinny models or simply bash skinny people. She's beautiful but to me she's not 200% more beautiful than other skinnier VS models. To me VS models are not the same as those bone-and-skin runway models. They have healthier body fat percentage and clearly marked muscle tones. I would rather take Gisele than this girl.
But that's just how I look, so please don't bash me. 0 -
I'm built about how she is, a little taller at 6'0. I'm at 159 now, and originally my goal was 155, but I think I'm reevaluating and going to get down to around 145-150. I think she looks amazing, and she's also my BF's #1 celebrity lol. I'm getting a boob job next year, and that's about the look I'm going for too 0

For a model that picture does make her look fat. For a regular girl she is average. Unless they are plus size models, models are really thin. So for typical models she is heavy. But I don't think she is fat, just as a model she is a little bigger than I would expect.0
-
And here I was going to post she is a bit skinny... I guess beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.0
-
It's hard to tell with pictures but here is a video of her doing the "cat daddy" in a bikini. According to her stats she is 5'10 and weighs 125 pounds. Not sure what world that is fat in!

SHE is absolutely gorgeous! Just goes to show you how shallow the media can truly be.0

I'm a grad student and one of the groups in a class I'm taking just did a presentation that media is at fault by saying that girls today need to be thin. In most instances they are too thin. This just proves the point that media is to blame if they say that she is fat.

I certainly can appreciate her beauty, but I think so many of us on this site are looking for our own ideal and making that comparison when looking at photos depicting "perfection." Some of us have goals to look "hot" or "sexy;" some of us want/need to lose weight for medical reasons; others are trying to achieve a fitness goal or milestone. Those of us women in the last category are going to look at women's bodies with respect to their functionality rather than their necessary "hotness."
Most men would probably prefer her body type to the exclusion of almost any other- hence the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover (which certainly isn't geared toward women.)
Those of us training with the goal of strength, or endurance, or completing some physical challenge will simply look at her and say "she can't run that marathon, she can't climb that mountain." In my case, it's "I'll never be able to successfully do the funky monkey" and get through 12 miles of that and other obstacles (Tough Mudders and Mudders-in Training know what I'm tailing about) unless I am stronger than she appears in that photo.
I don't think it's general "hate"- $h!t, I think she looks amazing- but that body won't work for me and my goals.0 -
She is beautiful but in all honesty she is a little bit chubby (not fat but definitely a little overweight). That doesn't detract from her beauty though.
I wish I was this chubby!
Honestly? Me too!0 -

Well said. I could not have said better!0 -
Okay... I'm thinking people don't like the word chubby and take offense to the word overweight.
In my world chubby does not mean fat.
Overweight does not mean ugly.
I apologize if I offended people by using such horrible, horrible words but to me they're not bad.0 -

I got what you meant and agree with you. She's not skinny or very fit, but not fat either. Chubby is perfect to describe her to me. 0 -
She looks even better in a "paint bikini" ! Complements of a GQ magazine shoot.0
-
She's "fat" to the media because she has curves! Just like Kim K gets called fat! She's got a beautiful body and her curves are KICKIN'! But sure next to girls that are 5'10 and 100lbs she looks "fat." But who wouldn't?0

In the modeling world, Kate Upton is "fat".
In the modeling world this is sought after. Sad but true.

I am not *offended* by your perception, but I do think you need to give your head a shake if you think that woman is overweight. "Overweight" has an objective medical definition, and she is no where even remotely close to reaching that line. What does it take to not be overweight in your mind? 0% body fat? This is a severely body-dysmorphic perception.
And to the person who said she's just not very fit, dude, dysmorphia again. She has clearly defined muscles with just a hint of softness overlaying them.
I am chubby. This model is slim without dipping into the disordered range of skinny.0 -

I seriously doubt she's even the tiniest bit overweight. She probably falls squarely in the healthy weight range. I am not good at guessing body fat percentage, but I'd guess she's in a perfectly healthy body fat range too. 20% maybe? I don't know. But overweight/cubby? No way.
I just disagree. When I look at her waist and the composition of her body I'm pretty sure she's pushing a higher then healthy body fat percentage. But, like I said, she's still beautiful. And besides, don't pictures add a few pounds?
"Overweight" is a medical category. It's really not about preferences in appearance. It's about a healthy body weight and fat percentage for a particular height, frame-size, and age.
She has a higher body fat percentage than you personally like or consider attractive, and that's fine; you are welcome to that opinion. However, your preferences don't make her "overweight". We MFPers actually can't classify someone as overweight without knowing their stats and stating which medically/scientifically accepted classification we are using (Example: BMI, bodyfat percentage, etc...).
Again... even if she's pushing closer to 25%-30% bodyfat, as a woman of reproductive age, that puts her in the 'healthy' range.
And yes, I'm arguing semantics... but hey... semantics matter to me.0 -
Now that is hot! No doubt. Screw the media. -AvaMY NEW INSPIRATION = Model Kate Upton !!!! Cant believe the media is calling her FAT! And saying horrible things about her, shes sooooooo beautiful!

:noway: Are you flipping kidding me?? She is not chubby or overweight by any means. I see a perfectly healthy body.
This is what is wrong with our society. This is seen as "fat" I don't think so. Don't get me wrong people that truly are overweight hide behind the 'curves' excuse way too much but this chic is certainly not fat or chubby.

while she *is* beautiful, she's only considered overweight by the modeling industry. in real life, she's fantastic. HOWEVER. i'd rather have a fit, muscular, toned body like one of our very own: spnluver83!!!!0

chub·by (chb)
adj. chub·bi·er, chub·bi·est
Rounded and plump. Larger than normal See Synonyms at fat.
o·ver·weight (vr-wt)
adj.
Weighing more than is normal, necessary, or allowed, especially having more body weight than is considered normal or healthy for one's age or build.
n. (vr-wt)
They both imply a person needs to lose weight, so if you dont think a person needs to lose weight then dont use those words. And yes when women and especially girls hear these terms they do take it to heart and sometimes go out of their way to lose weight, OR they just continue on with a horrible self image and esteem about themselves.0 -
I just came here to tell everyone I laughed out loud when I read people estimating her body fat to 25+%.
In fact I am still laughing.0
