hi there everyone, i don't know if anyone else gets as fed up as i do of seeing supper skiny people in the media complaining that they are fat. i think it is realy bad for young girls to see these images all the time and being told that this is what they should look like. what i would like to know is what size are you and how would you describe your waight, i am a size 18-20 top and a size 10 waist uk sizes i have sertain areas i want to tone but i think im ok how about you?

I must agree, those super skinnies think they are healthy but I think they are anorexic!!!!!
I'm only 6st 9lbs (thats 93lb for USA readers) which may sound good, but when you consider I'm also only 4ft 9ins, a thin size 6-8 and medically considered under-weight, it isn't! Not only does it make buying suitable clothes for my age difficult, I've had a life-time of health problems caused by being under-weight. I've tried unsuccessfully for years to put weight on, but the heaviest I've been (when not pregnant) is 7st 7lbs (105lbs)and I was still a size 8.
I often buy trousers from the children's school range! age 12. lol
If my height and weight puts me in the under-weight category, how can someone a foot taller, weigh 7st, be 3 dress sizes smaller and NOT be classed as anorexic.
I try and stress to the girls I know, men like looking at slim women, but they don't want to 'sleep' with a 'bag of bones'!

I don't really know what size I am... but I don't think my body's on the bad range. But I seriously want to tone up. I've been exercising a lot in the past two weeks and have seen changes. Hopefully I'd be more confident when the beach-season comes :) I'm not fat. But I'm also not blind :P I know I've got a belly to lose!
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Im a large girl I am a size 24 (US) and the average size in the us is about 12 or 14 so I have alot to loose. I don't like how the media does that because it makes regular people scare to be in there own skin. the only problem is I think people my size should be healthy not skinny I know I need to loose weight but I don't want to be size 0 I would love to be average in good health
