Sorry...I'm not very fashion conscious...what is a plus size?  And whats wrong with the woman in the picture?  She looks fairly healthy to me.  Unfortunately what I see down there in the states is alot of huge people...I breathe a sigh of relief whenever we cross back into Canada because the size of people drops sharply.  I'm not making fun of larger people but people who are massively overweight should try and do something about it.  Being at the other end of the scale like I am is no gift either...so from both sides you need to try and work on your body to remain healthy...asthetics be damned but make sure that your lungs, your heart, and the rest of your body are working alright.  To do that myself I'm running and lifting weights.  I realize for some people they put on the pounds quickly, they have thicker bones and bigger body structure...they aren't going to look like me and I'm not going to look like them.

The folks with the six pack worry me as well.  They are either super atheletic and it just goes with the territory or they are doing something dangerous to their body.  You have to be under 10% body fat to completely get rid of the middle area and lets face it, thats not a realistic (nor healthy in most case) goal.  Different body types require a different approach...

Just ranting myself there I guess.

Ok, so what you're saying is that the American "ideal" body image is so close to anorexia that they qualify the woman in the picture as "plus size" (i.e. fat)?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Every time I leave Colorado, I see fat people, we don't have many here. When I go to California, I see why Americans are considered fat.

Alright...thats pretty far out then.  Thats a very healthy women there.  Nothing wrong with her.  Its quite paradoxical down there that annorexic is the ideal and yet most Americans have buldging waist sizes.

@Mars: I've heard that about Colorado. Whatever you folks are doing...keep it up!

She looks pretty much ideal build to me... I certainly wouldn't apply the word 'fat' to her.

So now it is the clothing industry that determines what is "plus size" and not doctors? :wtf:
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Well at the very least you're not going to the the subject of her complaining that her breasts are too small when they're fine... *grumbles*

Marylyn Monroe was a plus size. Just goes to show how screweed up the drawing line is.

Of course I have muscle.  I am lean without excess fat deposit at places.  I'm genetically small in frame and that doesn't mean I am a stick.

Now you tell me:

Height: 5' 6"
Size: 0/ 2
Bust: 32C
Waist: 24
Hips: 36
Shoe: 7
Eyes: Dark
Hair: Dark

Is that a stick and muclesless to you.  Compare to most Americans, they just call me pettite.
