to those in this past year that have told me that i need to "lose weight".. IN YOUR FACE.

just to prove a point, i had a caliper test at the gym this week. when i came out of it, the girl stepped back, looked at me and said "18 percent. You are in the athletic range."..

i know that is low, but i have always been low in that area, i'm an ittle-bitty thing, as steve and alex keep telling me ( dont' know how to link threads, but check the ouch! my knee thread in physical fitness for explanation).. now i can tell my bizzotch of a "friend" that i don't need to lose weight - i'm perfect and always have been:)

That's PERFECT. I'm in the process of trying to add fat back because I'm waaaay too low from overtraining. >_> But serioulsly, that's a perfect percentage from what I hear. YAY!

hey, that's my percentage. it's ok for a gal to go as low as 14%, but 18 is considered athletic and healthy, whereas the other numbers are more like "competition" lean for fitness comps and the like.

to loose weight in your face, that's a bit weird. you probably have a cute face. Perpahs a different haircut would not emphazise the cute roundness, or perhaps a different way of doing your make up will help.

a friend of mine has a super cute round face, but she looked "thinner" to everyone after she got a certain hair cut. people thought she had lost weight--it was weird. she's still the same weight, but the hair cut apparently made her look different. :)

Haha zoe, I don't think she meant that people were saying she needed to lose weight in hr face... I think she meant she was saying to the people who told her she needed to lose weight period... "IN YOUR FACE!" as in "I took a test and here are the numbers, so screw you!"
