    Will NEVER happen hon! Those woman train specifically for that...massive weight very low rep. I may get yelled out for saying this but in all my experience I have never seen a female body builder (or male for that matter) who gets like that without using steroids.

    You wouldn't have enough testosterone to get that big

    ETA just wanted to add that I know a LOT of unhealthy skinny people...not saying you're one of those, but skinny people tend to think that they don't need to exercise because they're not over weight. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside...exercise is important for everyone to have a healthy heart, lungs, CV system etc
    Yes this is true too, regarding the hormones and steroids. I know a few body builder females (and males) and they take things to make their bodies capable of getting like that. I didnt want to say it in my previous post in case of offending people but ill back you up

    I didn't see your answer before
    What I always get is "I wish I was as skinny as you" And things along those lines, But I don't like it It's not fun for me.
    I have had people try and accuse me of being anorexic or bulimic but they soon stopped accusing when they saw how much/often I ate and the fact I didn't run off to the loo after
    I just want to look/feel healthy and have clothes fit me properly!! I float between sizes and depending on the brand I have to even start looking in the kids section(the largest size) for pants that wont fall off my non-existent hips
    I used to get the same. An old friend once asked me if I needed her to hold my hair back after dinner. It isn't a nice feeling.
    Ive just left a forum after I had posted about my weight problems and was told by so many members to stop showing off for being skinny all I wanted was some support. I'm glad you didn't get the same here, gives me hope that this is a supportive forum

    I have only been on for a few days but they are all pretty nice on here which is really helpful and reassuring
    Sorry to hear about your experience on the other forum

    As for the bit about your friend, I'm lucky enough that none of my close friends have said anything like that, but alot of other people have. My parents sometimes tease me about it, but in a joking sense (they were both really skinny at my age too, until they had my brothers and i )
    I'd give anything even to just make it to 55kgs

    I found I put weight on after I had my first baby 2 years ago. I was sitting in the mid 60s and I was happy with that. It has been a huge struggle for me again after I gave birth to my second 10 months ago when I put no weight on in my pregnancy and lost 15kgs within a few weeks of giving birth, which is why I was tested for possible medical conditions because it was so sudden.
    I'm hoping building my muscle tone will help. So far I have lost more weight because of the exercise but I've been assured it will come back once my muscles start to build up a bit.
