It's your body. I wouldn't let anyone else influence your decision on how much weight you should gain or if you should be skinny. Just my opinion. I would focus on which would be healthier weight for your bone structure. I went from a size 16 down to a 4. At a size 4, I looked like a walking dead. I'm happily a size 8 with enough curves to matter. It also depends on your personal goals. That should in the end answer your question. Again, just my 2 cents. Hope that didn't come off a little negative.

I don't find it negative at all Sillygirl, my ego isnt that delicate,lol. No , agree with you that health should be the defining factor,, my family has issues with heart disease, and my brother is already having problems,my younger brother.
So heart health is no, 1. I have slimmed down before and there wasn't a drastic reduction in my chest,, i was near my ideal weight for my age and height,,,, but my butt was nearly disappearing into my back,, .
My family members heading into this part of their life,, have usually gained weight,, sometimes excessively,, so there's a real fine line here,
Iaboy, i am fairly well rounded in the legs and hips, and have a rounded belly,, i could live at this weight happily if i could just get my girls to grow (well past )my gut,,lol.
In all the time you've both been here, what was the most fast and effective means of growth you have personally witnessed? Somtimes i feel an immediacy in this that's uncomfortable, but at the same time one that is definitely inescapable and essential to me,, i want to achieve my goals in time to enjoy them. lol
