OK, so the other day at the doctor’s office, I tipped the scales at 156 lbs. Gasp, horror (I’m 5’2" tall, btw). Twenty pounds overweight by the insurance actuarial tables, at least the last one I checked (should max out at 136).
Thing is, when I look in the mirror, I like what I see- I actually have dropped some weight lately, I was getting decidedly pudgy there for a while. Not that I couldn’t stand to lose a few more pounds, especially off the tummy, but even that trouble spot doesn’t look too bad. I figure that with the abs workout I’ve been doing, if I get down to an even 150, I could look really good in something midriff baring.
I am also packing a pair of D-cups. No silicone, it’s all Thea, baby. (I also have a large, but muscular ass- not much excess flab in the posterior- kind of runs in my family, along with the big boobs).
I just wonder, when the alleged people who put these tables together decide how much a woman of a given height should weigh, to they take into account such things as body build and breast size? And just what percentage of my total body weight do the girls represent?
I have the same problem. The exact problem. I have a pair of DDs that make me look like I’m about to fall forward. My weight has fluctuated from 110-158 and those puppies have never shrunk.

Keep in mind life insurance actuarial tables are often based on measurements taken from people when they died and not periodically throught their lives. When you add up the considerable number of elderly who died after illness, the tables can be skewed and reflect weight values considerably less than prime of life.

Tramp, I really don’t regard the girls as a problem- with my ass, if I had smaller bazoombas, I would look like Lent up front and Easter behind. They give balance to my somewhat stocky figure. My mom, BTW, is also a D-cup wearer, but she has a very flat butt, and frankly, I think her figure looks funny.
Even BMI isn’t perfect. It’s not accurate for short people, the elderly, or body builders. Body fat percentage is a much better indicator of overall health.
