    I saw an article about this Lady who appears on DWS. It looks like she had some fat jokes over a bikinni shot, which made her loose weight. My question is. Does she look THAT bad in the photos where she is deemed 'chunky'? Her body is still nice and toned, and I don't even see any rolls. Is this what we think fat/chunky is?

    Wait so is the top the after and the bottom before? I think that she looks borderline on the second one but she is just plain not fat and she still looks quite attractive.

    I think she looks better in the first picture. In the second picture she doesn't look terrible, she just looks like she is holding some "winter weight".
    Clearly she works out, because her legs look muscular even in the bigger picture, but she looks like she's in better shape in the first one. But also the first pic was taken from a more flattering angle.

    She looks good in both, not slim even in the after pic, just normal.

    For a more thorough review, if you could post pix of her bending over, shot from behind I would appreciate it. On all fours would also work. Also shot from behind.

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    Dancing with the stars. Unless you have a S/O who watches DWTS, I don't expect you to know her;)

    Women's ideas about the idea body aren't formed by men. Hey, we're not that picky. It starts with their mothers and continues with other women.

    A woman where I worked asked me my opinion of cosmetic surgery. I assumed she wanted bigger boobs but I asked what she wanted done. "You know. What everyone talks about." I said that didn't help. "My nose."

    I said, "Joan, I've heard almost every man working here comment on your body at one time or another and never once, not once, was it your nose they mentioned." It turned out another woman at work at referred to her as a "big-nosed cow" and it had been bothering her for years. Amazing.

    I don't view her as being fat. Maybe a little bit in the stomach and thighs but it looks like she worked on that.

    I never understood why anybody would want to have sex with an anorexic mop.
     
     
    Healthy! That is the concern folks. If they are active and healthy that should be all that matters. anybody lugging around 30 up pounds above an ideal healthy weight is pushing it.

    She looks curvy/thick which is great, as this era of skinny waifs filling up the media is only contributing to teenage confusion and has helped skyrocket cases of developed anorexia, especially among women. The popularity of Christina Hendricks is a good sign, as Hollywood needs to go back to the days where women could be proud of their bodies and they weren't scrutinized for being curvy.

    Remember, there is a difference between being curvy and being fat, but still at the same time, the intolerance towards those with weight issues is not helping society move along...this is why I get irritated with my fellow liberals who often go on rants against those with weight issues and perpetuate the skinny ideal but criticize others for fear of Muslims when both sides are saying the same things, just about different people.

    Tubby, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with her.

    Needs to lose at least 30 pounds.

    She has near 'perfect' body-fat in the photo.

    Too skinny is really unattractive and looks sickly.

    I like the first picture better, but in the second she isn't fat or chunky or anything. Both pics show a healthy young woman.

    Muscle weighs more, what's your point? It does make a person heavier than if they are not buff or have to much excess fat built up. Healthy is my only gauge. She looks healthy in both shots.

    Maybe slightly heavier than their target weight, but they both look fine and in no way unhealthy.

    I think it may have been easier to tell if she were wearing a minimicro or a peekaboo.

    You must be kidding. If she lost that much weight she'd be underweight!
