I weight 220 lbs but don't look it?

[Anonymous]

*I am the one in the white hat

I am 16 and weight 220 pounds but don't look it at all! Girls that are 180 lbs look bigger than me! I'm so confusèd! I am 5 foot 9

I am not sure what 220 pounds is supposed to look like on a woman, but I can tell you three things.
1. Your love life will not be nearly as good as it would be if you were slimmer. You know that already.
2. You are headed for a world of health problems that will be caused by the combination of weight and genetics. Look up the diabetes and heart disease statistics for black Americans. More black Americans kill themselves with their knife and fork than the police or anyone else shoots.
3. It is fixable, because it all comes down to diet and exercise, i. e. calories in versus calories out. You look to be a strong girl. You would probably be great at a range of sports, or do really well in a gym.

Considering you seem to have most of your fat on your torso. Most of it might be visceral fat, surrounding your internal organs, which can cause a multitude of problems. You should get a better diet, and make sure to avoid eating too much, especially processed food, nachos, soft drinks, fast food... stuff like that.

yes i do believe most my fat is on my torso especialy because i have a longer torso there is more space for the fat to spread around to... but i dont consider myself on thee unhealthy diet side, i dont drink soft drinks my go to is water, i dont like to eat out, and i have 5 "meals" that are fairly small

[Mesonfielde]

I'll be honest, if your "meals" involved proper food, you wouldn't be over 160 lbs at most. You NEED to change something, because your current weight is not healthy. For example, my friend has been eating curry with vegetables and rice a lot, and also sandwich with chicken and a bunch of vegetables (tomato, pepper, broccoli (I don't know why he likes broccoli), and some other stuff) and he went from 190 lbs to 156 lbs.

It really depends on your height, weight, muscle, and the you're (the way your body stores your fat) vs the other other girls.

Other girls can be shorter so the pounds add up more, they might not be as strong and it's typically more fatty than muscular, and again it spends on how each of you are shaped we all store our gat in different places our stomach, thighs, breast, calves, butt, etc.

Well I don't think it is so much about weight alone as it is about weight to height ratio like a girl that is 120 pounds and 5'3 would be more chubby than a 5'8 girl that is 120 pounds

You look to have a large bone structure and a decent amount of muscle mass so you're not all jiggly sloppy fat.

[Remonster]

To be honest, you do look overweight, but so am I. I am the same height as you and I weigh 250 pounds.

The reason why some people look fatter than others despite their weights being equal is, simply put due to clothes and genetics. Clothes because certain clothes can make you look visually slimmer, and genetics because you will look fatter if you have a predisposition to store belly fat easily.

As long as you do realize that it would be healthier to lose some weight, it's all good.

Do you feel like you can't do anything you want to? Does your body restrict you in any physical way?

[Drooogie4]

Yeah you definitely dont look it, I'm. surprised a little

[JimmyO]

You are probably are built more out of muscle than fat is a good thing it shows you are fairly healthy

[fenixx0083]

Ya, muscle is denser, and so is heavier without looking like it...

[SerafinT]

you have to remember muscle weighs more than fat you might just have a good amount of muscle.

[Asker]

Yes that's true I am a dancer but I just feel so bad knowing I weight so much, when my friends ask my weight I get so embarrassed and change the subject they think I weight like 180 lbs

[SerafinT]

I've been working out hard lately because I plan on getting a life guard job at my local YMCA, if you feel insecure about your weight I would suggest you use that to do something about it, maybe make a 90 plan, your body can change DRASTICALLY in 90 days.

[Asker]

ok that sounds pretty legit

[hypno-trip]

It's true you don't look 220 but you do look overweight or something I don't know

[Anonymous]

You do look over 200 pounds...

[DivaMonae]

She didn't necessarily say she didn't she just said the girls that weight less than her look more than her.

[cl_517]

it's because you're all :)

[MarianneAusten]

You do look it..
