It is a medical fact Tongans are the the broadest people. Just pointing these things out because even tho you believe it, everything is not black and white, there are in betweens! I'm trying to lose weight, but as I lose weight which I'm thrilled about , I notice the shape of my body frame and it doesn't look flattering no matter how much weight I lose.
Being overweight covered it up, but don't want to put on unhealthy unflattering pounds just to hide it. It makes me so happy to see that there are so many well educated and well informed folks, like you, who comment on here. Andrew, I disagree.
Larger people can still be healthy. Yes, people can and do gain weight from inactivity or poor diet, but I refuse to believe that that is the only instance in which people are overweight. I know some techniques that can make your ankles appear slender or smaller, how much I want to say just be comfortable in your own skin and love your body can be hard.
We think oh " if only I could have a tummy tuck " or " breast implants " , I would be so much happier , thats just a temporary fix. We have to love ourselves withing and be happy. I know its easier said than done. I hope you feel better and wish we had more uplifting women each other. To Annie hope you get to your goal and lose the 50 lbs , its a lifestyle and can be challenging. I am in the same boat and getting older, I suppose its time for me as well to start a better and healthier lifestyle.
I'm rooting for you Annie!! I have always thought I was big boned as I just didnt have the slender ladylike frame other women have. I am 5'3 and my wrist measures 6. I wear size 3 pants but I still hate the way I look. I cant even pull off flip flops like literally every other woman and man because my ankles look thick compared to my foot length.
My shoulders are also on the bulky side. No, not wide. Just bulky. Hard to wear feminine clothes with their wide collars with that going on. The worst is it's hard to put your finger on what's different when you're not big.
You just look odd and dont know why. It bothers me so much I looked it up and found this article. I look best these years at though that on the charts says I am still over weight but at that weight I have no muffin top but only saggy skin on my upper arms!
There is such a thing as amount of muscle, big bones and age effecting optimal weight! Im not over weight, I have large frame, I'm wear about a size 9 women. But I do weight more than I did when younger. My frame was much smaller, but using my body, working, exercise and etc.
I have changed. So when people say large frames arent real they forget there are always outliers like me. My friend adds at least 15 pounds to my weight. I totally agree with this Kara I consider myself big boned. When I was in grade school, I was one of the smallest person in the class and we had to weigh in at the nurses' clinic.
The nurses were shock that I weighed totally higher than what I actually look and higher than some of my taller classmates. They weighed me again but it showed the same result. Since then, I knew that I was big boned so I'm often overweight. Sometimes when my weight is normal, my friends tell me that I'm so so thin and boney. They tell me that it doesn't suit me well and to go back at my usual weight overweight which I totally agree. But a lot of people doesn't get this and I hope someday that there will be proof that "big boned" is a real thing and it totally adds weight.
I can understand how "bigger bones" in themselves wouldn't have a high influence on weight. However, people could still have naturally wider frames due to how their built; not so much "big boned" as just having naturally larger bodies. Just as there are people with very tall, slender frames who might be "underweight" on the charts when they really aren't; who's to say someone with a naturally stocky build wouldn't experience a unique situation themself, and yet the term "overweight" is tacked onto them even with a healthy lifestyle.
If bones can't "dictate" weight, who is to say height alone does, and why aren't we calling very slender people underweight while we're at it not that they are. Weight is a very complex situation induced by many factors that is way simplified and treated with ignorance in the medical industry.
Being fat is a choice there is no such thing as wider frame because ive seen it for a fact that fat people are fat because they did it to themselfs. The majority of us, therefore, are just average. There is, however, a pretty easy way to find out, which compares the circumference of your wrist to your height. Use a tape measure and the following chart, from the National Institutes of Health , to determine if you're small, medium or large-boned:.
Lajam cautions that bone size shouldn't be conflated with bone density , which is a measure of the concentration of minerals including calcium in the bone. Lowered bone density, which can show if a person has osteoporosis , wouldn't change the size of a person's bones, just the concentration of mineral in it, she says.

News U. People with larger bones are slightly larger for their heights, yes. So, for example, an obese person can weigh more than pounds and have big legs, but actually have very small bones. Thus, a non-obese pound adult has a bone weight of about 30 pounds. Water weighs a lot, folks! Therefore, the bones of that same pound adult person, at autopsy, weigh only about 12 pounds. Big Myth.
