Really? 140 is plump? Sorry, I just can't accept that standard! A year ago I was 140, and I'm working on getting back down to that. I know it doesn't matter what others think, but it pisses me off anyway.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I guess I just never think of a "polite" euphemism for overweight men. I tend to think of men as fat or not fat.

Here's another one: http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html

We're fat, lardasses, etc.

I used to have to buy "husky" sized pants as a kid. Hated it.

Unless you're 3 foot tall, 140 isn't plump.

Well I'm 5'2" if that helps you any. Currently (as in the photo you see here), I would be 140 if I lost 25 pounds. It just gets less plump as you go up in height from there.

Status: offline 		Tommonymous is right... height does make a difference. unless his former is under 5 foot though... 140 isn't really plump at all.

i too am attempting to get back to my "pre baby" weight ( said baby is almost 8... and i'm almost there ) which is around 140. i am 5'6" and i think that is a healthy ( maybe even too thin ) weight for me to be at.

Baroana- i don't blame you for getting upset and blocking that person. obviously they have a slightly skewed outlook on what healthy weight and plump are. when i think plump i think about my gran... soft and huggable and "fluffy"

I think a lot of it has to do with people's insecurities and views of others. However, you are right I hear a lot more women called fat and ugly than I do men. Some people just focus on looks and looks alone, rather than the whole picture. In addition, some people are focused solely on numbers rather than body type and other factors.

For me I live a healthy lifestyle. I would much rather a man that was overweight, but was trying to live a healthy lifestyle and trying to get his weight in check, than a man who was skinny, but had no concept. It would just derail me and I don't think he could or would be supportive of what I was trying to achieve.


Bonus question: Because society views men much different than women. IMO

In the Men's Body Building Bible, btw, it suggests to throw the scale away and use the mirror only, in order to measure progress. If you never get back to 140, but have Michelle Obama biceps, you'll be frikkin hot, in my book anyway. (Maybe insufficiently feminine in someone else's book, heh.)

I don't know, but it reminds me of that King of the Hill episode where Bobby became a runway model.

It's possible he didn't know, but 140 seems like a strange number to pull out of the air. Plus, when I started to flip out, he never backpedaled on the weight.

You are right that maybe she lied about it. But still......

Oh, and thank you re. the biceps. I've been working them hard, so hopefully one day they will emerge through the flab.

One thing that annoys me about my photos is how large my breasts always look on camera. It must have something to do with the roundness.

Most people have no clue about women's sizes or weight or how that is distributed.

I don't find 140 plump; I think it is quite normal.

To give some perspective, I've worn my great-grandfather's baby ring, which is a size 2, on my pinky finger since I was 15. My weight is mostly "mommy tummy" so I look heavier than I would if the weight was more evenly distributed. (Can I shift some of it up to my boobs? That would be great.) Maybe she carried all of her weight in one area like I do and seemed heavier than she really was?

Actually, it is when it's all flabby tummy and a double chin. If I weighed 140 and had the firmly toned dancer's body I had Before Children, I'd have another POV. I'll get back there eventually, but I'm a horrible procrastinator, so I don't exercise like I should.

Well if you have had a dancer's body, then you too might be seeing things from a different perspective than most of us. However, in my book, if you can fit into size 10 jeans, NO HAY PLUMPO.

Of course, 4 foot 3' could be considered tall, also.
