sarack · January 2012

i'd rather be 10lbs too heavy. i like a little meat on my bones.. a little junk in the trunk.

underweight for sure.

Ciaram22 · January 2012

Definitely 10lbs overweight.

10lbs too thin for me

10lbs too thin, which is pretty much what I am according to charts or whatever. I'm not anorexic, have boobs/hips etc, I'm just small - my sister is as well.

This. lol at junk in the trunk.

I'm seriously torn on this. At 22ish% body fat, I'm still ~10 pounds overweight. But also a size 2-4. So in that sense, yes, I'd rather be 10 pounds overweight. However, my ultimate goal is under 20% bodyfat, which for most folks is 10poundsish underweight.

That depends if I get to pick where that 10 extra lbs is distributed lol If so then i'll take 10lbs over.

I'm 5'3" and I think I'm supposed to be 115 lbs for my "ideal" weight. I would prefer 10 lbs too heavy, because 105 lbs on my frame looks like a sickly 12 year old boy Stick out tongue

LegalBritt:
Also, I should say. I'm 5'9'' so 10 pounds on me really makes little difference in my appearance. I have to lose at least 20 pounds to go down a pant size.

damn you. my pants don't fit after 5 pounds, lol.

10 extra. Looking back at picture from before i gained weight my face looked a bit gaunt. In the upper range of healthy weight, but not overweight i tend to look and feel my best.

Johlise · January 2012

I've always been thin.. and in general on the lower side of what I should be weight wise for my height so I choose 10lbs to thin

KST_ · January 2012

Hmmm.....based on whose judgment of what I *should* weigh? If it's off the charts, then 10 lbs over as the WW estimate of what I should be (back when I did that) was actually a little low to me...I hadn't weighed their low end of the ranged except when I was unhealthy and too skinny in college.

you are TINY! 2-4! how tall are you?

emyinpink · January 2012

Well, right now I'm slightly bigger, more like a 6-8.

I'm just under 5'4", but have a pretty ridiculous amount of muscle. I actually did one of those body scan thingys at our gym. My doc told me never to concern myself with BMI. I have 118 pounds of just lean body mass.

10 pounds to thin for me. I fear the little potbelly. I keep trying to gain weight without acquiring one of those, which is harder than it sounds.
