Awesome, if I use it while working out I'll be sure to do that. I'm only concerned because I can handle a few steps here and there but because I'm doing a program heavy in arm movement its most likely going to miss count my actual step count. Like I said, 5000 steps in a workout is way too many steps to be counted in my…

I started W1D1 on the treadmill yesterday. I'm probably going to use the treadmill and outside throughout the workout as I travel between two hours and rather run inside for one of them. I also go new shoes which I don't wanna waste so I gotta get up and do it! I was attempting to train with a different program for the…

I highly suggest you look at how many calories you should be eating. I'm not sure how much you weigh or how tall you're but I can tell you 1,000 to 1,200 sounds way too low which is probably why it can be hard for you to stick to the limit you've put on yourself.

Wow! Nice work. Keep it up! :)

I am. I lost around 15-18 pounds or so back in 2013. Managed to gain around 24 back... It's time to get rid of it all over again! Feel free to add me. :)

Right on!

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you to those who answered and I'm sorry if this was an offensive topic to bring up. I tend to speak my mind without thinking of what it could mean to others. If you're size 0-6 don't think you matter less, or are less beautiful or have less meaning or such because I didn't mean it in that sense. The size of your…

Yeah. I know it's logically a stupid thing to ask. These companies are only after the money. It's highly selfish on them, considering the impact they have and all but that's business for you.

I should of use this to try and get one of my points across but I agree. Models tend to be different from the general population but why? Why aren't there more women who can be more like us non-model women or something to repersent someone more like us without being called plus size or any other labels, you know? This may…

It was more of a question about perception of a healthy woman rather than actual health of a woman since the article was going on about how this woman is size 14 (10 US) and is plus sized but it became this along the way of me trying to explain my question and sharing my opinions. I could of worded everything wrong. It…

You do realise that we are in a world full of judgement, right? Not everyone is in world acceptance. Maybe I shouldn't of used the word ideal because people have tended to take that offensively but some people could have an ideal dress size or one they're achieving for or have felt like they're worth less or more because…

True. Apparently lots of people don't care about the size of clothes no more unless... it wasn't a major thing back in the day? This post has made me think at points though.

The only point I ended up trying to get across is that normal models shouldn't be the face of what is ideal because to some people it is and that a bigger woman or even somewhere inbetween would be more realstic and ideal in my opinion. The rest was just asking for personal opinions of you guys. If you're skinner and feel…

Nope. I actually wanted to know what people's opinions were as their own. Not that one would fit all. I think that's what people assume I want but it isn't. I know it will differ depending on the person. :)

Yes, I have a right to have an opinion. I have a right to think that the "plus size model" is a better figure for woman to look up to and they're skinner, hence the term skinner models. It isn't body shaming, they're skinner than her.

I don't feel I am body shaming. I am asking for an opinion, it doesn't mean it is right or wrong. It's just an opinion as is my opinions. All the stuff about underweight is based on BMI, which is something I tend to lean on for a guide but at the end of the day it's how you feel inside and how you think of yourself on the…

Sorry. Took the information completely wrong because comfirming. You are correct. You aren't underweight. It's the other way in fact anyone around 5.7" and over is underweight and anyone who is 4.8" is overweight but it still proves my point, these models who are under 125 are underweight, it may not be by much but…

I think realistically 8 (12 Australian)-10 (14 Australian) would be more ideal size for average woman who has the same height of a model and the model in question is a size 10 and is being called a plus size hence why this topic began. I just wanted to know if other people saw it differently than me or not.

Word. I think anything under 125 for anyone over 4 feet 8 is underweight and the fact is the taller you are the more weigh the more weight you should have on you and based on BMI alone someone who is 125LB at 5"10 is underweight. I know it all comes down to body type and such but that my rule of thumb.

I said if you think 0 is ideal or if something closer to plus size is ideal I believe (and if I didn't I need to learn to prove read and such) and by ideal I mean ideal to you. That's why the question says: What do you think the size of a healthy woman would be because it's your opinion about the subject, not anyone elses.…

Thank you, this is the type of stuff I am looking for. I want to know whether people think models around this size seem to be plus size or not. I thought that some people may have a particlar size they think is ideal but apparently many people don't take that too seriously as I thought. :smile:

Nope. My orginal question was the first paragraph I wrote but I believe I wrote the second part so people are aware I know it isn't how you measure health. The orginal question was what size do you find healthy not what is it actually healthy which I later said was more towards what we precieve as a healthy size not what…

I refuse to think it's an unanwerable question because I didn't say whether it was health or not, due to it obviously not being an accurate way of measument but the veiw of the viewers and aspiring to be thin like the models themselves. Do people find the size 0 or so models to be the ideal or do they think someone who is…

Thanks for that correction. I must of looked at a dodgy site for converting that. :) The model's name is Laura Wells. If you take a look at her, she looks healthy and fit. She doesn't look overweight and I wouldn't call her a plus size. She just has a curvy lowerhalf. It's wrong to have her classed in that caterogy. I'll…

Look, this question is mainly directed the woman who is size 14 (12 US) and is called a plus size model. It's directed to what people think is the size of a healthy woman, not that she is actually healthy or not. As I've said, I'm aware that size is not a measurement of health but I was wondering what people perceive as a…

LOL. Damn. I guess lots of us are unhealthy then.

I did say I know it's no way to accutually tells one's health but what I am getting at is, what makes the woman a plus size when she's around the average of a healthy woman. Why aren't all models healthy sizes instead of size 0-6, etc?

Hey. I am off and on here too but recently have started back up again and I also have a Fitbit. Feel free to add! :)
