size 16 = obese

i think the general rule is

size 4-6 = anorexic
size 6-8 = skinny
size 10-12 = curvy
size 14 = fat
size 16+ = monster

LOL so Adele is a monster? yeah looks like it, anything below size 8 is anorexic or at least needs to eat a burger or 2. Size 10 to 14, I'd consider curvy but to call 16 a monster is just stupid, Adele is hardly morbidly obese is she?

This thread probably needs cleaning or closing or something because the whole thing is subjective anyway, beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that crap, what one guy finds attractive another guy wouldn't go near, no matter which end of the scales you look at.

Fact is, that "plus size model" if you can really call her that, I mean I don't consider anybody fat until they have an overhang (looks down)that plus size model is trying to make women feel better about themselves, that does not mean she's giving them an excuse to eat cake, but for women who think they're a bit bigger than the girl they sit next to at school/work to feel ok about themselves and to realise no matter what you look like, there is someone out there for you....

*recalls discovering what SSBBW meant*

Yes, well feeders like them I guess.

End.

What do you call a fat computer?.

Adele.

I'd say Adele is a monster to be honest. But that may be because she's ginger...

Curvy should mean "having curves" not just being x dress size.

You can have an hourglass figure, boobs, small waist, and some booty, and still be a size 8-10, just like a 6'4" size 12 could be without any curves.

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:32

Adele is pretty large. But it's ok because i read in the daily fail earlier that she represents the majority of women

Well I think Adele is hot, and wouldn't pass up the opportunity. But then I like that Ugly Betty actress too.

Psycho Sonny · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:38

Adele is most certainly a monster, remember she probably has a team of make-up people and stylists, yet she only looks fat, without all of that, she is definitely a monster.

+1.

Being doing stronglift's for quite some time, as my body-fat went down my weight increased along with my BMI.

POWERLIFTER! (not one of those sissy body-builders).

I think a lot of people lift for their appearance, I know I certainly do. Although I'm not some sissy and lift good!

Izi · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:47

BMI is not useless unless you are a body builder.

I jest!

For me it's about the weights not the appearance (personally) - so it's squats/dead-lifts/bench & overhead all the way - but yeah, makes BMI mean nothing.

Jay794 · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:47

I must have low standards then, like I said, I'd do America Ferrera

I do it for appearance>strength, doesn't mean i neglect big lifts

Not morbidly but she is obese.

Any BMI ≥ 35 or 40 is severe obesity
A BMI of ≥ 35 or 40–44.9 or 49.9 is morbid obesity
A BMI of ≥ 45 or 50 is super obesity

Jay794 · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:49

Still hot IMO

some people genetically have large muscle mass without ever touching weights.

Mike Tyson for example swore he never ever touched weights in his life and was genetically muscular.

Look at Drogba, etc too.

anyone who does any sport, like the guys who do that weird speed cycling where the bikes only have 1 gear, they all have bigger leg muscles than the average bodybuilder.

BMI imo is a good measure for women, for men it's a completely different story down to genetics.

mame · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:53

just checked my BMI and I'm overweight! It's 26

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:53

I'm on the verge of overweight (lol)

mike tyson is not an average person neither is any professional sports person.

fact of the matter is, doctors around the world use it to judge peoples weight. If you want to try and pick examples where it doesn't work feel free, but you are fighting a stupid battle lol.

I dread to think what my BMI is, not that I'd care anyway, I go to the gym and I'm starting to cut out snacks, I don't eat sweets anyway.

As long as I can still see my **** and walk under my own power I don't care
