Skinny fat...

[superqt4u2nv]

ladies take a look at these pictures

29.9% Body fat
5’8”, 142lbs, size 6

36% Body fat
4’11”, 108lbs, size 2

30% Body fat
5’4”, 123lbs, size 4


That is skinny fat it takes no exercise no lifting weights starve yourself screw up your metabolism and eat junk and you too can be skinny fat.

Now lets look at my avatar picture as an example I am almost 5'6 weight 146 at 12% body fat and I wear a size 2 now I realize not everyone wants to look like that cool. The point I am getting at is muscle weights more then fat so stop caring so much about the scale weight. Be consirned about your body fat % how clothes fit and how you look in the mirror the scale is just a number.

just wanted to point out that bodyfat with some women can be a bit tricky too. upper body vs.low body. i tend to carry a lot of my fat on my hips/thighs/butt. so maybe lean upper body+ softer lower body=higher bf %age. not sure if that makes any difference on the end result, except that some individuals might look alot different with same weight and bf%age.

Yes but unlike the women pictured you have muscle. Hot sexy muscle

Skinnyfat means thin but no muscle tone, hence the flabby sagging look.

Exactly right I have seen men and women change there weight significantly losing tons however there body shape stays the same just smaller with little to no muscle mass.

I love this thread!

A really good example of classic skinny fat: Runway Models. Swimsuits are the give away, especially if you look at the back of their thighs and butts. I'm sorry, if you're in healthy shape and a normal size your butt should stop moving the minute you do. Plenty of those young women would look 200% better if they'd gain five pounds of muscle and get some muscle on their bones to fill out their skin

I'm the guy version of skinny/fat. Not working out for two years will do that. I am back at the gym now. The muscle is coming back but I have not attempted to drop the fat yet. 260+. Still have abs when I flex they just aren't pretty. I guess I am 20% or so.
I refuse to buy new clothes til I am in shape again. I can't wait.
I completely understand body issues when people talk about them. Guys suffer from it too!

Wow someone made up a new account to give me crap!?!? Kind of makes me feel special

I love this thread! Thanks for posting. I am struggling to get my mom to incorporate working out into her life - she's 5'3", about 108lbs, and she does look thin - but she just doesn't get it...

This is a concept I try to teach so many girls on campus. Practically every female is obsessed with the scale number. Instead, the focus should be on the quality of that body mass. Body recomposition is the real game. It's easy to lose weight, or gain weight, but body recomposition is a tough deal, but that's really the gaol of any girl that says she wants to tone up, get tighter for the beach, whatever.
