A gal friend of mine is 5'4" and 170 lbs with a sorta chubby body-type despite going to the gym 4 days a week, being a vegetarian and not drinking anything sugary. She's got naturally muscular thighs (like, they're pretty thicc even before she ever hit the gym) and big gazongas though. Definitely has that stubborn lower tummy fat that a lot of ladies struggle with though personally I think it's hot. I'm wondering if it's just the corn syrup in absolutely everything nowadays.

Mathematical averages are the easiest way to trick stupid people. It's the same as how smooth brain dummies think the "average millennial" is making $150,000 a year.

If it's average then me not being a fat fuck should make me above average. :/

FYI to those of you saying you don't understand how a dudes waist size could be so big when youre wearing 34s:

Your pants size waist is not your actual measurement. They lie to you to make you feel better. Your actual measurement is like 2-6inches bigger.

See, i hear these stories, and I want to believe them. Then i think what's not being mentioned, especially for those three days.
My tiny girlfriend stopped eating fast food and dropped twenty pounds within a year.
I feel like a lot of people are hiding habits or justifying their cheat days too much.

No you see a gal friend he sees maybe 20 minutes a month told him she doesn't eat high caloric stuff so it's 100 percent true

Also average American is not same as average twenty year old. Being overweight is more common among older people. Also a healthy body weight changes as you get older. It doesnt change 50 pounds but skinny elderly people dont always have the reserves to last an illness.

Ive had a pooch since my c-section 15 years ago, and now Im in menopause. So its probably never going away. I am about 30 lbs overweight, though. And I work out 4-5 days a week. I dont do enough strength work, though, because Im old and it hurts.

... Well it worked.

Edit: actually, I don't believe that's true. If it was, wouldn't my size be pretty different for each brand? It isn't. I'm a 31x32 where available, and I just tighten my belt when wearing a different brand that doesn't have odd sizes.

Happens around 40. I was 5'7 170 for all adulthood. Now 50 5'7 and 200. I was active up to 3 years ago. I've been ill and inactive but slowly work my health back up. I hope to at least to get back to 180. I'm kinda worried though. I had a year long recovery from Bells Palsy my muscles did not come back 100%. The right side of my face lost about 20%

It's an average, you might as well pretend it doesn't exist. Averages skew the reality as outliers on either end severely tank/inflate the end number.

Yeah like 5'1 160 and 6'1 160 are entirely different body types, there's no set number.

What "lighter women" are you seeing that are 70lbs? That is literally dangerously underweight unless they're 8 years old lmao. They'd have to be 4'3 for 70lb to be in the minimum range of healthy weight
I don't think you understood what I wrote. By not often, I'm mostly talking about like straight up anorexic women. When I say "not often," it has a wide range of 1 to a small % of the population, so I'm not exactly wrong.

The point doesn't change here by any means. You can get much heavier than you can get lighter as a woman, so median makes more sense than averages. Don't derail it with your misunderstanding

Oh fuck the topic is full of CE users who actively want women to be that heavy.

CE and it's love of obese women is the oddest thing.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, CE has an extremely progressive userbase.

Nah, we can thank your unnecessary comments masked as concern a lot more.

When my doctor tells me to lose weight, its for a constructive reason. When people like you do it, we both know why.

Why do you hate progress so much?
