Can You Be Thin And Still Be Considered Big Boned

25-26 inch waist, 38 inches around thighs, is this considered fat?

A lot of my friends tell me I am very skinny and they think I look great. People I don't know too well always say this as well. I am almost 5'11, I weigh 143, and I am 16. Yesterday someone told me I look big boned - and that deeply bothered me. When I look in the mirror I feel pretty good about myself, but maybe it's just me? I mean I wear smalls and extra smalls in shirts and size 8-9 jeans, and my stomach is pretty flat. Are my thighs throwing me off? My thighs don't rub against each other at all either.

Is 5'7" and 140lbs considered big, small, or normal?

BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Your BMI is 21.9
You are normal.

I am also 15 and my penis is about 6.3 inches long and 5 inches in girth when erect. I'm not sure what is considered big but ive been told by a few people in the locker room that mine is big so I'd say big is anything bigger than 6 inches maybe?? Hope this helps!!

What sizes do you consider too thin/fat?

Did you know you can also be naturally thin and be a US size 2 and still be healthy? So this would be a UK size 6. And petite does not mean how wide you are. It is anyone that is 5'4" and shorter, you could be a size 22 and still be petite if you are 5'2" tall.

I'm a US 4, UK 8 and I look d*mn good and healthy, I'm not a little anorexic running around. I have a naturally small frame but with meat in the right parts. I think "too skinny" would be someone that is intentionally trying to be skinny and wear a size 0 or 2. I can't help my size. I have a fast metabolism and have always been naturally thin, at least on my waistline. If you have a medium or large frame then even a size US 6 would look too skinny. It really depends on your frame size.

(Thanks for the thumbs down? I was being honest.)

A woman with a small frame (which would be a bra band size of 32 or smaller) can get away with being a US size 2 and still look healthy. Tell you what...I'll lose 10 pounds, you come knock on my door and take a gander and tell me if I look sickly or not for being a size 2. I can get away with it, and I have before, but I've gained a few pounds, so now being a size US-4 with a very small frame, I'm what you would consider "thick". If I were any bigger than this I would be too large for my size. However a woman with a medium frame might look on the thin side in a US 4 but look great and healthy with a US 6 or 8. A woman with a large frame would look sickly being a size 6 but look great being a size US-10 because that's what fits her bone structure.

Also height has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Only your frame size. You can be 5'10 and have a small frame (I have a friend that is and she is healthy for her size, she wear a US 2-4) Or you can be 5' tall and have a wider bone structure, larger frame. The size of your frame does not mean you will be tall or short. It's a visual illusion, if you're shorter you're going to look wider. If you're taller you're going to look thinner, so of course if you're a size US 6 and are 5'7" you'll look quite thin but only because of your height, it makes you look thinner because you are longer. Didn't you ever have that in school in math class with all the visual length and width illusions?

Big Boned, what does it mean?

first of all you have a pretty good weight for your height. my mom is 5 9' and weighs 145 pounds, although she has an extremely small frame, being bnig boned means you have a big frame, which does not mean your fat, people are born with it and you cant change what your born with. But dont get all sad because its not a bad thing at all. if it bothers you you should just work out a lot to get really toned and then it really would be hard to distinguish you from a small frame because of all your muscle.

How can you tell if you're "big boned" or "small boned"? Or is there such thing?

The two best ways to determine this is your ring size and your wrist size. And yes some people have a small bone structure and other's have big bones. You can tell also by looking at someone. I'm 5 feet 1 inch tall and I wear a size 5 ring. I have a size 61/2 wrist. Most bracelets that other's wear fall off of my wrist. None of my children and I have three can wear my rings as their fingers are bigger. Take a look around you and look at people and their body size and I'm not talking about weight, because I'm over weight and still wear a size 5 ring. Look at how tall they are, how large their fingers are and their wrist and their neck, IF these parts of their bodies are small no matte what their weight you know they have small bones. That's also why some people can weight more than they look because they are tall and big boned so that they carry their weight differently than others.

Good for you for trying to lose weight! Based on your description of yourself, I think you know you are overweight. Knowing and accepting that you are caring some extra weight is a good start. I am not going to sugar coat things or try to make you better by sharing false platitudes. Being overweight will limit your pool of potential suitors. These men are not wrong, shallow, sex driven idiots for not wanting to date you. These men simply have a preference for women who are not overweight. I hate the trend I see in Quora user answers when it comes to women, weight and dating. False platitudes, feel good answers, that get upvotes but do nothing to help you.Losing weight will improve your dating life by increasing the amount of men that are initially attracted to you. Being overweight obscures biological indicators of fertility, such as waist hip ratio as well, excess weight leaves your face looking less defined. Also being overweight can often make one insecure about themselves, often the fact that a women is overweight is not as a big deal as the denial and mental issues that often come with the weight. If you lose the weight and become a better version of yourself, it will help attract better potential suitors. It will also attract shallow men so be discerning.More importantly lose the weight for yourself, you have value outside of your physical appearance. Your health and mental state will both be improved if you approach health and fitness with internal motivation as opposed to external. Meaning that you are improving yourself from a desire to feel more confident in your own body, regardless of what other people think of it…. not for some imaginary prince charming. Working out and become more healthy and fit is the reward. Attracting the opposite sex with a healthy body is simply a bonus.

Big boned celebrities.........?

I was looking around and can't seem to find anyone that is considered a big boned but skinny celebrity. I was curious as to what celebrities could be considered big boned but still skinny and. Any names?

Also i don't want to see any girls that are considered "big". I am looking for skinny stars that have big bones.


I am looking for this because I am trying to figure out the difference in a small boned skinny person and a big boned skinny person looks like.

Answer: Your calorie expenditure (how much you burn) to your caloric intake (how much you eat) dictates you size. Weightlifting may hypertrophy muscle, but without the calories and nutrients gets you nowhere (think of food as building blocks for a house).If a bodybuilders stopped lifting weights and consume the same amount of calories he would be atrophy his muscles (shrink them) and gain fat (store energy).If a bodybuilder reduced his diet AND stopped lifting weights, he would then atrophy his muscles and get smaller as a whole.For more free detailed tips/advice, feel free to visit Self Improved Fitness or ask me questions here on quora!
