How are there so many 5’8/120 or 5’4/110 lb people? Where are you all hiding? I don’t see that many people who look significantly thinner than me walking around. I’m 5’4-5’5, around 120, and I honestly could not find 10 pounds on me to lose. I have a 25 inch waist and a six pack, visible ribs and a thigh gap. No cellulite. You can see my veins on my arm muscles and all the definition on my legs. I could not be in better shape unless I trained with professional athletes or something. I have 17% body fat. How are there all these women apparently who weigh that much less than me? Do you all have no muscles at all?

I think this. I'm 5'2" and 121. I'm a size 6 pants, size 4 dresses (wide hips, small shoulders, my curse, but birthing babies was a snap). I don't have a 6 pack, I do have some weight to spare, but a size 4 is pretty good for 50 years old, I think. I definitely have more than 17% body fat. I have a wide range of friends, I'm in the bottom 25% in terms of *proportional* size/weight, I'd say. I wouldn't expect a 5'10" friend to weigh 120 (nor would I know if she was???), but to be objectively fit I can see.

OR. The people who weight more don't post here. Why would I come here to brag If I was 5'2" and 145 pounds? I wouldn't.

I think people just carry their weight differently. You don’t see many people looking significantly thinner than you walking around maybe because they look similar to you but just weigh less. Not all sub-20 BMI people look emaciated. I am 5’7” and around 112 lbs, 25-inch waist, thigh gap, but wouldn’t say my ribs are visible or have a six-pack (working on that). Can’t see veins on my arms, but they and my legs are defined. Sure, my weight seems low, but I really don’t look skeletal at all. I do cardio and weights every day and eat a good amount of healthy foods and desserts too.

A lot of my friends are very slender. They work out and don’t eat much. Surprising.

I see more women who are very thin than who have six packs. There's one woman I know who is more muscular and lean than I am and she might. But that's way rarer.

Because responders on particular threads are not representative of the population as a whole.

But after my babies were born I ate whatever, and still lost weight. When I was busy at work and not working out, I didn't gain. It's just genetics.

oh yeah? start feeding her full cake a day and watch genes in action.

not eating make people skinny, eating make them.. not skinny.

As has been explained already, genetics affects a person's food cravings and how their brain relays to them that they are satiated.

Cause its MoCo. Whenever I leave the DMV, its always shocking what the obesity epidemic actually looks like.

I was down in Georgia in 2019 and it was shocking.

Or go to a theme park in FL.

I am pretty sure I have no muscles at all. (5'3" and 108). I'm not in any kind of shape. I think the last time I did something that counts as exercise was 2016, before I had my first kid. I eat fairly healthy (cook at home, don't really eat out) but do not diet or restrict/count calories. It's genetics, most likely. My parents are in their 70s and still thin.

Okay, I'm gonna chime in as a low-brow caveman.

But forget the chic skinny-minnie look, and start squatting.

This is obvious to you, this is obvious to me, but no one wants to hear it.

I fully realize we've hijacked this thread as men. But the reality is:

Woman that lift weights are way sexier than woman that starve themselves

Yep this is totally me too. I'm flabby-thin. I'm also Asian and many Asians naturally have a thinner build. I don't judge people who weigh more because it's just luck of the draw for me.
