Do you think I might just be big boned?

Everytime I check different scales it weighs me as 15 stone but when I tell my friends and teachers that I weight that amount they tell me that I’m lying and that I couldn’t possibly be fifteen stone. They tell me that I look ten stone. They say that, I possibly weight 15 stone because I’m big boned. I look at magazines and see these women who say that they lost weight and they weigh 12 stone when they look so much more bigger than me. I think I am big boned because when I feel my wirsts I basically feel bone, and it’s really big. Do you think I might be boig boned, judging that I look like I’m 10 stone.

Well, at 14 lbs. (USA) Per 1 Stone. At 15 Stone, the amt you believe you would be at… Would = 210 lbs. Thus other by looks are evaluating you as being 10 stone would = 140 lbs.

Hmm, well… My wife, for exmp: Has Very dense (Big) bones. Also with a significant amount of muscle mass. Which makes her look bigger than she is. It could very well be possible, that you do as well. There is a simple test to conduct in knowing if you have big bones or not.

Take your index finger and wrap it around your wrist, if your index finger does not complete make a full half round your wrist, then you could very well be big boned.

Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, however my real question for you is. Do you feel good in your skin? Do you feel good about your self? I hope so, because the utmost importance lyes with you.

I know its hard not to worry about what other people think but, it is what matters to you.
