I have no idea what it is...


Question Posted Wednesday August 1 2007, 11:56 am

I am in a group of 4 girls. They are always complaining about being fat(because they are very "womanly" with well defined hips) and point at me and my other friend(aka.May) saying we are sticks whitch we aren't. I am like 5'9" and 127-130lbs and May is 5'9" and 125-128lbs. We both don't look like a "woman" we don't have hips our like an 'hour glass' shape we have more of a boys body i guess you could say.

My question is are my friends actually fat?
Meg: 5'6" and 136lbs
Sara: 5'5" and 140lbs

IDK why i need to know i just do. Its been bothering me and i need to show them that they aren't fat. They won't beilieve me or May.

Height and weight alone don't tell anything. By the standard BMI chart, most Olympic athletes are obese, because muscle weighs more than fat.

But that's not the point. If they're complaining about being fat, and it's getting on your nerves, tell them to please stop doing it. If they continue, then you might point out how studies have shown that bitching and moaning does not burn a significant amount of calories (look at the size of Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore, and you can see that's true).

If I were you, I'd suggest to them that the four of you get into an exercise program together. It'll be something fun for you all to do, it's healthy, and they can stop worrying about being fat and start doing something about it.

hey

you haven't given their ages, so no one can really tell you if they're fat or not.
