How many 250+ pound women do you know who are in great shape?

Question

Do you believe there is such a thing?

'Cause you can't judge a person on weight. It's bone structure, muscle, etc.

Answer 1

Any woman that weight is a turn off. I never even heard of a woman like that..

Answer 2

They might be 'fit', but I don't know many women that could be 250lb+ and be 'lean'.

Yes there is bone structure and muscle, but to even just have an average  body fat % at that weight (under 30%) the woman would have to have a ridiculous amount of lean mass....so much lean mass that unless the woman is a giant or on steroids it's highly unlikely.

Answer 3

250 is too much for any women unless she's a giant.

Answer 4

None! They can run to save their lives....REALLY. How fast do think they COULD run????

Answer 5

I agree.  To be 'big boned' she'd have to be a giant.  Muscle won't make a difference unless she's a body builder.  If you're overweight, you're overweight, and being overweight is certainly not being 'in shape'.

In some cases I think it is fair to judge, as obesity costs tax-payers millions of dollars each year, and a lot of diseases can easily be prevented simply by eating a balanced diet and being active.

It could be related to an underlying psychological factor, which is really important to get checked out as it affects your value of life.
