[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is shaming the people who have gained weight on here, why are the ones that have maintained their weight being shamed?[/quote]

I didn't realize they were.

It's the people who are like "I was 5'8 and 115 now I'm 120 OMG I NEED TO LOSE FIVE POUNDS!"

And I am not a "Fat Positive!" person either. I can't stand how our society has appeared to have given up on the obesity problem and in some aspects is glorifying it. But there is also no need to require your BMI to stay under 20. To be 5'8 and under 120 lbs is what supermodels require and is genetically impossible for most people. There are a whole range of body weights per height that can be healthy, and a muscular athlete, a person with wide hips and a wide frame, and a small boned Asian woman will all have different ideal weights within this range. But the women boasting their weights on this thread skew at the very low end of the healthy BMI range, if not clinically underweight.[/quote]

I think you’ve seen a wide range of responses though- some women gained, some lost, some maintained. Yes, it can be head scratching to hear someone bemoan that the 5 or so pounds they gained in their childbearing years that took them from being clinically underweight to a healthy weight, but this thread goes to show you we are all having different experiences. I for one didn’t really diet or exercise before my wedding, just wasn’t something that mattered to me that much. I look at my wedding pics and I’m pretty, younger, but no where near as fit as I am now. It took health issues a few years into my marriage to make healthy and fitness a priority for me. [/quote]
