[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6229824, member: 19675"] Funny thing... I've been every BFP on that picture from 7-30% (currently in the 20%s)...and I have [I]NEVER[/I] had 6-pack abs. Once I got super chubby, I was never able to rid myself of enough fat in that area to make my abs visible. Even when I got down to 7%, I was still had a gut. As for the female side of things...well, my personal standards using those pix would be all but the 2 extremes- I like some curves on women, some softness- and my [I]dating[/I] rule of thumb is "nobody with an equivalent or worse weight problem than myself, because I don't need negative reinforcement of my bad habits." Without a doubt. Too many overweight people have felt the sting of uninvited commentary on their weight by those in better condition. And the other side gets some backlash, too- not in the same amount, but just as nasty. There's a woman right now who is catching flack for posting selfies of her post-pregnancy physique 4 days post delivery. She's in incredible shape- even showing her rock-hard abs again. People are dogging her for presenting an unrealistic image to the public. My personal take? Screw "unrealistic"- this is REAL. The problem lays within the observers who forget things like: 1) she is a well-known fitness nut & blogger, so she is going to take much more of her day in excise 2) her lifestyle includes habits that likely meant that she didn't pack in much excess pregnancy weight 3) there may be age, genetic or wealth & lifestyle components to the efficiency of her metabolism that others might not have, enabling her to she'd weight more efficiently. Which means that while SOME can achieve her results, not everyone can, [I]and there's nothing wrong with that.[/I] [/QUOTE]
