Ashley Graham - "plus sized" Sports Illustrated cover

[uhpharm01]

I have skinny friends who can't even jog for 5 minutes and I am way heavier and can do it. I'm actually overweight and I run and do spin class. I think it depends on your endurance. I doubt she can run for a long time but I'm sure she can at least do 30 minutes, i do.

Here's one of her workout videos that I found on YouTube. I don't how how long she can workout

They make her look huge in photos, but she does look quite normal and seems to be fit in the video.
Her face is beautiful... I know I don't look that good while working out.

I agree, she is beautiful. I wouldn't look that good while working out either.

I really don't think she's that large....she just doesn't look like the typical rail thin model.

Based on her measurements, she's half a point away from an obesity BMI. I'd day that's kind of large.

I'd say she's obese and unhealthy and is setting a bad example, jmo

Me neither - I'm a disheveled, sweaty mess. My trainer makes these videos... They never do the full work out, only a few reps and all the missteps and falling and "band-snapping-back-in-your-face" are edited out.

You're cute, really.

When I see people's work out video, they work out 'that hard' for a reason, what's her end-game?

I don't categorize her as a 'super' model. It's almost like calling Kendall Jenner a 'super' model, it's a laugh.

I'm 50. I'm so ****ing exhausted from hormone fluctuations that I can barely get dressed some days. And part of that whole process is that I went from a size 4-6 to a 10-12 in 2 years. On my small frame, I'm bouncing everywhere. You call me fat or obese and I will scrape up the last strands of energy I have and p**** a ***** out. I have bigger arms now, so I pack a bigger wallop. Jes sayin'.

Thank you Ashley Graham for making clothes for people like me. So I don't have to stand in the changing room at Banana Republic wailing over the fact that my boobs literally pop out of every damned one of their dresses (or get squashed ... squashed melons ... not a good look).

Some of the comments about her size are interesting. I see women still carrying the 'baby weight' from their now teenage children talking about Ashley being overweight and setting a bad example (not just on this forum) and I'm like ???? Pot meet kettle....

Excuse her rant - it's the hormones

Same here. I am tall so that helps, but it still sucks.
The worst part is that any muscle tone I had vanished.................and I had been weightlifting on a regular basis since the early 80's
Oh.................and my feet grew at least a full size and my vision did a complete 180 literally overnight.
Ten years up the road and I still struggle with the fallout

Some people workout to maintain....given that she's also successful as a plus size model, she probably works out to maintain being plus sized. I workout with the intention of maintaining my thighs and donk...I have no desire to be 110 pounds with skinny legs and a flat butt.

Meh...BMI determines obesity based simply on height and weight....so it's not the only measure and not the best argument.

 

[berrydiva]

No one knows her health status. Women are just *****es about other women! ***** they're too skinny, ***** they're too fat, ***** they're not pretty....It's nice to see the occasional comment not knocking this woman.
The asterisks......B i t c h

I say this all the time...women are harder on other women and it's sad.
