| Your ankles look lovely to me! I’ve had cankles since I was a kid— I don’t think you do. |

| Yes you do. I don't see clean cut ankle definition. |

| You don’t, but you should lose that “friend” — a friend wouldn’t say that. |

| Kind of, but I think that's mostly a part of being overweight. It's not a "true" cankle where you would have it at 110 lbs and 5'6, more like legs just chunked up all over so lost some ankle definition. |

No, those aren’t cankles. There’s some fat over your ankles and calves so they’re not super defined/thin but your leg still narrows a lot at the ankle. Cankles are when there is almost no difference between the calf and ankle, and has little to do with overall body fat.

| No, I don’t think you have cankles. Overweight a little, but considering the average American is very overweight or obese, you don’t appear to be even above average in weight. I know people who do have cankles and they are 35 or 40+ BMI. Not only do they have cankles, it looks like they have a front butt and many chins. |

| No, you don’t have cankles - you have defined ankles. |

| I’d need a side view before making that determination. |

Who at 5’6, 110 lbs has cankles? I’m similar, and I can wrap my fingers around my ankle, but my calves are much larger from weight lifting and run/bike/hike activities. I’m a PP who doesn’t think OP has cankles. I know people with true cankles, front butts, and multiple chins. BMI’s 35-40+ |

| If you do, there's nothing you can do about it, so tell your friend to buzz off. |
