okay i know the whole body mass thing where you multiply stuff by some decimal and i know about what you should be for your height ... but i wanna know by appearance if im considered "chubby" ... im 5 foot or 5 foot 1 ... and im 130-ish pounds?
i dont understand how that could be because i dont think im fat ... my stomach doesnt stick out all that much, i dont have huge boobs, and my legs arent fat, just curvy. i dont eat more than 1000 calories a day. i dont eat junk food or drink soda. i dont eat big portions of carbs or anything else really.
i dont understand how i weigh so much! somehow i gained 10 pounds.. last year i weighed 120 and for the most part i looked the same as i do now (i didnt get any taller either)
when im in jeans and a tee shirt my legs look good and so does my stomach so i really dont understand! does anyone else have this issue?
DancinCutie08 answered Tuesday August 1 2006, 11:19 am: well only eating 1000 calories is your main problem. if you eat under 1500 your body basically shuts down and thinks it is straving and starts preserving fat
i am your height and i weigh 115 pounds and i am always refered to as a little on the chubby side if that helps, like in a bathing suit anyways. once i put clothes on i am not really that chubby but losing a few pounds wouldn't hurt. [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
Krupple answered Tuesday August 1 2006, 3:38 am: Height makes you gain weight. Imagine taking a horizontal slice (sliver) out of your body, one inch thick, and weighing it. It'd probably be about 10-20pounds.
Also, you could be big boned. Look at my pic, would you guess I weigh 230lbs? [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
