This also reminds me of how I went a boot camp class for a long time, and there was a lady in the class who was probably a size 8 or 10 who was much older than me and had done races up to half-marathon distances. She could run quite well.

This illustrates it best. The weight difference between the two photos: 4 pounds. (191 left, 187 right)

I Weight 210 and I just bought me a summer bikini for the first time since high school when I was anorexic. I don't care, I do what I want AND I feel like I Look so good in it. At 210 Getting dick has not been a problem for me either...ever. Those men folk Love this body. *rubs own body*

Representin’ 5’ 7”, 175. Pretty much sure my skeleton alone weighs 135.

See I think what’s interesting is that different numbers look so different on different bodies. Amy looks awesome at 160. I bet you look awesome at 160!

The bigger picture is Happy and Healthy. My GF wants to lose weight, but due to RX meds she has to take, she gained a few lbs. I think she looks as beautiful as the first time I saw her. Likewise for me, a male, according to my BMI I am overweight. I gained 20 lbs straight up for taking some psych meds. However, if I…

Geez, there are so many people in this thread just here to misinterpret what you said.

I recently joined the 160 club, too!

Still catching dick.

(edit) Now that I think on it, have had to fend some off.

I just started up running again and a reminder if you are trying to lose weight- and at least for me the number on the scale really doesn’t matter because you build muscle first, muscle is heavier. It’s all about how you’re clothes fit and how you feel!

I was watching that Autumn Calabrese weight loss infomercial and one of the “ before” ladies was 150 lbs and they acted like it was unspeakably huge. I was like errrr that's not really heavy at all.

These ppl are getting on you, but I know plenty of ppl who don’t care about being fit but will totally starve off 5-10lbs b/c of the number. Women need to be honest about the fact that many don’t give a shit about how their bodies look or even about being fit, but like to say they weigh really low numbers. I know…

PREACH

wuuurd. Carrying and loving the 160

Yes, this. Thank you for saying it more politely than I would have done. I’m going to work to be as thin or as healthy as I want and is right for me—I don’t need to check in to see if my goal weight is on some pre-approved list of Arbitrarily Assigned Sensible Weight Loss Goals. I don’t have an eating disorder or…

She’s fabulous and I also love her specificity because otherwise it makes numbers seem shameful things... but to your point about 160 vs 135... putting a specific number on your bar where it’s bold or helpful to be open and cool about your weight is just as guilty of losing sight, no? Because while you may think…

So according to these comments ‘catching a dick’ isn't something to brag about because men will fuck anyone. This is not true. At all. And this idea really screwed up my self esteem in high school and college. I honestly thought I was the only woman on the planet who couldn’t get laid.

THIS. I’m 5’8” and 150lbs with a pretty hourglassy shape. Yet I have this constant low rumble of discontent running through my brain about it, like the mental equivalent of a bored dickhead teenager picking at a loose thread on his sweater until he’s utterly destroyed the whole thing. I look good, thin even, my blood…

Yes girl, PREACH! Fellow 160 over here, looking fly (nearly) 24/7

I just like her. It is so refreshing to hear someone say “I weigh 160 pounds.” It’s something that should NOT matter at all. But, as someone who is also around that, it’s nice to hear and see that it’s normal.
