    As I said, we all come in all shapes and sizes, as such personally I don't think you should put too much faith in scientific studies on optimum exercise patterns as it too will likely vary from person to person. Use them as a guide but not a religion as surely things such as gait, lung capacity, length of specific limbs, etc... will all have their impact on what is the best for you?
    Trust me, Dragan knows a hell of a lot more about this subject than most people (and I include currently qualified Personal Trainers in that category).

    you use your muscles during cardio don't you? cycling, running and swimming/rowing often will keep you very fit and toned.

    You indeed, but it different fibres, energy pathways and systems involved.

    The simple fact is that some level of challenging activity and keeping an eye on your diet will make some changes in someone who has been doing nothing and eating poorly.

    Personally, i hate the word tone......it's a total pain in the ass. "tone" is really based around bodyfat levels....I know guys who have a quarter of the muscle mass i do, but have savage definition and tone.

    In the minds of most people, tone has very little to do with muscle mass, which is really as it should be?

    I've just notice how many times guys use the following

    "women use this because..."

    Can it not be woman say something for the simple fact that it is what is it and not as a reason against something...

    Weight - Size - Bone density - hormones - water retention,


    these are all factors to weight gain,

    so are over eating and lack of excersize

    Do you ever notice sometimes a girl's complaining about 'love handles' and actually, they're not love handles at all - her trousers are just too small for her. WHY do people do this???????

    ALL the time. There was actually a programme about girls with massive boobs on BBC3 last night. There were 3 girls. One of them had huge boobs, but it didnt look like it because she dressed really way and disguised them. Another wore clothes that it looked like she had to get sewed into, so clearly that made her boobs look even bigger. At the end she was at some ball, and she had the lowest cut dress on I've ever seen. If you're so paranoid about the size of your boobs (she was considering getting them reduced) why would you do that?

    The problem is, that people read things like, oh a size 14 is big, when in reality it depends on a lot more variables than just that one magic number. A lot of girls wont buy a 14 because it makes them feel like they're fat, despite the fact that it looks a lot better on than the 12 probably does. It's frustrating, but it happens a lot!

    It's actually the other way around. An American 12 is a 16 here. So an American 16 is a size 20.

    heh, usually it's guys complaining that women don't do that. The "when I said X, I really meant y" type of thing.

    There is also the fact that once you reach the peak year of fertility as a woman from 22 to 28 the body start storing fat for in case you get pregnant or when you have a child your body stores fat for the next pregnancy and then there is the fact that so many women in thier peak fertility years are chemically artificiality pregnant due to being on the oral contraceptive pill which mimic pregnancy so that thier boobs get bigger and they round out.

    ppl seemed to have missed what i said...

    I note a while back that it was the 1st of a few questions, to find out were the lines got blurred, but instead ppl have got hung up on what size she was and how that size is now blah blah blah...

    it was a small and thin -v- small and curvy question

    Yeah, a size 14 is not at all fat. A girl who wears a size 14 may be flabby but not fat. I wear size 14 tops simply because I have big boobs, I wear size 12 trousers which hang off my ass and are all loose and billowy around my thighs but I can't wear a size 10 pants because that would be too tight for my waist (not the narrowest!) so yes, there can be numerous variables to take into account.

    In most cases, it's due to these factors.

    So,. from what I can gather...

    1. 1 in 10 women are fat.
    2. 1 in 10 women have a medical condition that makes them go into denial about being fat.
    3. 1 in 10 women can't get on a moped?
    4. If you are female, and 6'10'' and a size 14, you are not fat, you are "curvy" - if you are 5'10'' or less, and a size 14, you are in fact a rectangle?
    5. 1 in 10 posts about fat women are false.

    Come off it, it was an ugly versus hot question.

    A fair comparison would be to ask the equivalent of do you think Sophie Dahl looked better as a size 12 than she did at a size 18?

    Or, do you think Nicole Ritchie was any less ugly when she had a healthy bodyweight?

    I'd be very surprised if Sophie Dahl was a size 18 when she was at her biggest and in the public eye. She did have big hips but slim legs that went on for miles. I'd say she was a 14, 16 at the very most.

    If in the majority of cases women are fat because they eat too much and don't exercise, then we can say that generally, fat women are slobs. The word generally allows for exceptions, but implies majority.

    Sleepy, honestly it was about big or fat...

    I want to know i had asked before i posted that no one answered...

    so i gave choice and was going to do another...

    If i ask wanted to know who was hotter when i would have. but its not about hotter,


    I concider myself to be big but i am a picky person and times and i will have a go at myself, my partner considers me to be big but not fat, for my height i am over weight, for myself i am happy, but what does the www consider big, and what is no longer big but fat or is it the same?
