These two pictures say a thousand words each.  This is the difference between a little muscle and pure tee old fat.  Both of these women are 5'9" and 180 pounds.  (yes, I chose my own height and weight as the example.) The "slimmer" woman could still stand to lose some more weight, but she doesn't have nearly as far to go as the other woman at her same exact height and weight.

 

Need any other reason to just exercise a little bit?

I haven't yet figured out how to add two pics to the same post!

I don't think that first lady weighs the same. Yes, two women can be the same height and weight, and look totally different. But that's pretty drastic. The first lady looks about 150-155, but she may weigh as much as 160-165. There is no way she weighs 180, unless she's got some kind of water retention thing going. She would either be far more muscular, or have far wider hips since I know women with wide hips tend to weigh more than they appear to.

I think there could be a 20 lb difference but it does go too show muscle vs fat. The flabby woman should weigh around 130 - 140 to look good.

the first girl's weight is listed as 180 and the second at 189.  But still both within the 180's.  The weight's are self reported.  But, yeah, you guys may be right.  I got them at http://www.mybodygallery.com/

 

It's a pretty neat website.  If you're female you can look up pics of other women at your height/weight and see what it looks like on other women.  It's really eye opening and entertaining.


Two women can be the same height and weight and one be a size 6 and the other a size 12.  It's totally amazing what a difference body composition makes in how you look and feel.

There was an article on my home page that had a link to that site. I thought by some off chance you might have the same one. I dunno, just making conversation.

It's interesting that the woman in the 2nd picture also has a filthy, crazy house. Look at all the mess and carp on the floor!

They say that your home is a reflection of your mind and mental health. If you live in a chaotic mess, that probably means you have a lot of indecision and stagnation in your life. And laziness.

Her body and her house say the same thing: I have given up.

Man! And to think, you ripped on me for posting a "half naked" picture of myself looking for advice ?:wink:

After looking at the site I'm thinking some of those gals are a bit "optimistic" about how much they actually weigh.

Interesting observation. I think it's simpler than that. It's mostly laziness.

Wow....thanks for the pictures. You are right pictures do say a a lot more then words. That really points out the the muscle differences. The woman on top obviously has more muscle. Muscle does weight more then fat. We all know that, but you really put it into perspective with the pictures. Defenitly makes me want to get moving and doing some muscle building workouts.

Great post.
