Wat's considered chubby?

College Life

<p>“I tend to disagree. It’s just as dangerous to be 20-30 pounds underweight as it is to be overweight.”</p>

<p>Your point is compatible with mine. From my casual empiricism, there are just more overweight girls than underweight girls out there. I also happen to agree that it is better to be overweight than underweight by x pounds.</p>

22

<p>“it is better to be overweight than underweight by x pounds.”</p>

<p>not me, i like skinnier girls :smiley: but more people tend to disagree with me… so i’m the weird one</p>

23

<p>Well burgler, that depends what skinny is. Do you prefer girls that are skinnier than say the UCLA dance team?</p>

24

<p>

</p>

<p>Could be. Where I go to school, there are more women in the healthy range, compared to unhealthy. Maybe thats just my selective attention?:)</p>

25

<p>Go outside, do something active, and focus on having fun rather than on the way you look.</p>

<p>too fit (ie, visible abs and blatant muscle definition) - Jamie Eason <– she lifts weights hardcore, though

<p>Thin and ideal - Jennie Garth when she was young (I had such a crush on her)

<p>full fledged chubby - britney spears after downfall

<p>I guess fat is pretty obvious. Anything a bit worse than britney spears in that picture and beyond.</p>

<p>Russell – cue the “OMG GUYS HAVE IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS FOR GIRLS IF YOU THINK KATE WINSLET IS CHUBBY” from girls. I personally don’t think she looks chubby in that pic, but for whatever reason I do remember her being slightly chubby (maybe Titanic? no idea where else I would see her). </p>

<p>I agree with your categories… but I would use maybe Britney Spears in her prime instead of Jennie Garth (control for shifts in hairstyle and make-up over time to discourage viewer bias).</p>

28

<p>lol, I’m allowed to have high standards. I’ve been working out for 6 years. I like girls a bit softer looking, but still thin, which is why I chose Jennie Garth. It all boils down to preference, though. I couldn’t find a chubby looking picture of Kate Winslet, but she’s definitely -slightly- chubby.</p>

29

<p>I know, I’m in line with having high standards, but admitting you have high standards for something like appearance tends to draw a lot of reactionary heat from people, mostly girls. Standards are there for a reason; not everyone is going to meet certain standards.</p>

30

<p>holy crap!!! britney spears is HUGE</p>

31

<p>I’m not even going to say anything about Russell’s pictures. </p>

<p>OP, I think you are at an okay weight. You could lose some and not be too skinny, but I don’t think you need to lose any if you don’t want. 120 I believe is the “ideal” weight of 5’4" (which you get by starting off at 5’0" 100 lbs, and then adding 5 for every inch), so if you wanted to lose 5 lbs or so you could. The most important thing is if YOU feel unhealthy, then yes, you should do something about it. But if you are just worried what other people think, and you’re okay with your body, then it’s fine.</p>

32

<p>I don’t think Kate Winslet looks slightly chubby in that picture. She looks pretty thin, though not toned.</p>

<p>She doesn’t look as thin in this picture.</p>

33

<p>By slightly chubby, I meant between thin and chubby. I was just judging by the lack of any muscle definition whatsoever, and by the size of her waist (although she could just have a wide frame, making a small waist an impossibility). That is a better picture, though. I wish that I could edit it into my post.</p>

<p>“The most important thing is if YOU feel unhealthy, then yes, you should do something about it. But if you are just worried what other people think, and you’re okay with your body, then it’s fine.”</p>

<p>You can be okay with your body still want to improve it. I’d be okay with not picking up any money on the street, but I’d rather pick up a $20 bill lying on the ground.</p>

35

<p>Yeah, that’s a good attitude to have, easy. I’m obsessed with self improvement, but I don’t have low self esteem. Pretty much the opposite. I’m just always wanting to become better, both physically and mentally.</p>

<p>“Yeah, that’s a good attitude to have, easy. I’m obsessed with self improvement, but I don’t have low self esteem. Pretty much the opposite. I’m just always wanting to become better, both physically and mentally.”</p>

<p>If we were simply happy with ourselves and never looked for improvement in everything, then we might be ‘content’ but we have to always be critical to an extent if we want to accomplish all of our goals in life.</p>

37

<p>Life without goals is boring, IMO. I enjoy improving myself; so in a way, that contributes to happiness.</p>

38

<p>Weight numbers are really hard to judge by.</p>

<p>I’m 5’1, and according to what everyone has posted, I’d be 15 lbs too heavy.
But then again, to be honest, my boobs are really big for my body size, and I have a lot of muscle mass (gymnast for over 10 years). I’m not ‘ripped’ by any means (certainly not like in the first pic Russell posted), but I do have some muscle definition. </p>

<p>In other words, you’re crazy if you try to call me even the slightest bit chubby even though I weigh 120.</p>

39

<p>Our discussion on weight is focused on the majority of girls; most girls are not veteran gymnasts with huge tits.</p>

40

<p>Yeah, but any girl who has done any sport is going to have muscle mass.</p>

<p>The 5lbs per inch is really outdated though.
It stems from the beginnings of dieting in women during the late 19th century (circa. William Banting), and really isn’t a means to judge by.</p>
