If someone is a size 12, do you think they are fat?

I am 5'6" also and 172. I need to lose about 20 pounds to be within the normal weight range, even though I'm big boned.

If you were "all muscle," you wouldn't be a size 12.

That said, I know many beautiful, sexy women who are significantly heavier than I am. When I feel down about myself and my weight (which I do a lot) I think about how fabulous they are and how a positive attitude and kindness are what make a person truly appealing.

This depends on your frame, too. I have an hourglass figure, work out daily, and look strong and fit at an 8. I'm 5'7.

Yes, it is fat. This doesn't mean you aren't beautiful and sexy. But you are overweight if you are a 12.

I'm the PP who wrote this. No, it's not all in my bottom half. I have no tire. My shape is hourglass. I'm not large chested either. I run, but I don't lift weights anymore. Way to judge though. Sorry if you think I'm lying. I'm sitting here in size 12 jeans. In better pants I'm a size 10. Everyone's body proportions are different. Sizing by manufacturers is also all over the place. I know that pre-kids I wore a size 6. But, some clothes were cut super big and I could wear a 2 in pants. I still think they were mislabeled though.

Are you under 5 feet tall? Otherwise no way.

This. So what?

Yes. It's definitely overweight. That being said, my best friend is a size 8 and she is very thin, but tall. I couldn't believe it when she told me her dress size. I'm a 2 and look like the same size.
