Skyelaps's Journal, 26 May 2016

Skyelaps, please don't take this wrong but if that picture is a pic of YOU.....you DO NOT NEED to lose weight. You are very thin now. I understand (believe me) the desire to be thin but hon, you ARE thin. If its not a pic of you I apologize, I just don't want to see anyone hurt themselves to become TOO thin. God bless  

@Gardengranny: you're spot on, thin is not healthy...neither is being overweight. Women that want to be super thin tend to have either an eating disorder or a body image problem. Ideally, you want to be slim, strong, and healthy....just not seeing that here. 

Agree! 'Weight' is a cultural problem in both directions. 'Skinny' is not healthy. Lean is. Oddly, because of the loss of muscle mass with extremely skinny individuals, their bodyfat is high. That's body fat in relation to lean mass. Forget the fat and start putting on some muscle. For women it just makes you awesome, not bulky at all. You need testosterone and steroids for that. Skye, you just need to muscle up some. You'd really love what you see. 

MONW is the term. Medically Obese Normal Weight; having all the symptoms and issues of obesity but at a normal/low weight. Consider this. Bikini Models are at 18-20% Body Fat, Fitness Models at 15-17%, and for during competition, Female Body Builders are at 13-14%. Based on your picture and your goal of 110, you won't have the muscle mass to support normal body functions and things start to shut down..i.e., no menstrual cycle, weak brittle nails, all signs that the body is under extreme stress. 

Scary stuff. The damage can be irrevocable.  

Skye, please understand we're not picking on you. We're concerned. 

Time to eat, girl! Let's go!  

Hugs?
