I am a large woman and I am really not happy with the way my body is and am in the process of doing something about it. What I want to know is do you think that a large woman can be as pretty as a thin one? Or do you prefer thin woman that have the perfect body, skin, etc.... I think that it is only on the inside that should matter. I would be happier if I was a lot smaller but I never want to be like the skinny girls because i dont think that it would be me. What do you think?

I like curvy is beautiful. Really skinny just looks sick looking.. I am a slightly big girl, mainly after having my 4th child, I have seemed to struggle getting this weight and excess fat off..
But if you would like to improve yourself, drink lots of water.. Go for a walk twice and day and eat small portions. It will help.

I drink a LOT of water and other fluids and I have been eating smaller and more healthier meals. The only problem I have is walking because I have bad knees. I have been looking for different exercises that I could do that is low impact but I havent seen much. But the advice is great thank you. The older you get the harder it is to get it off so if you are still young then you might work on it. Good luck.

The older you get it is harder! I also have bad knees....I bought a stationary bike at a garage sale for seven bucks two years ago and it's still working. that way there is not weight on the knees but you still exercise the whole body! good luck honey!

Hello ,
Me I like curves and so do many of the men I like . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you feel good about yourself that is all that matter .
BBW is more of a popular term than it used to be . I know I like to lose weight and get toner , because I just feel better about myself , and can find more clothing . Its all about health too , when I watch I just feel so much lighter and better . Little steps that is what you do at first

I have never been into makeup and doing a lot of things with my hair. One guy I was with insisted I wore the makeup and I did it for him but it didnt make me feel more of a woman. In fact it made me feel like it was a job to do it everyday. I like the natural and free look for me. My hair is falling out and gravity has not been my friend for quite sometime. I think it has it out for my body. Well anyways thank you for your comment. Have a great day.

Anyone can be pretty....or very attractive if they take care of themselves....like dressing in clothes that fit and look good on them.....taking care of their hair and makeup....it doesn't matter what size anyone is. My own daughter is overweight but she always dresses nice and her hair is beautiful. And I also have friends that are overweight...but when they dress nice and take care of themselves they are knockouts!

I agree with that. I dont wear makeup so I am all natural and my hormones is making my hair fall out so I am not all that nice looking. But I always try to look decent and never wear anything that would be for a skinny person. I think that is gross. But thank you for your comment.

why bother which one is in? just as long as you're happy and comfortable with who you are, it doesnt matter. your body size doesnt reflect who you are or your personality. a large woman is as pretty as a small one, and vice versa

i guess size doesn't matter after all..i am a skinny lady and i don't like the way my body is either..i'm trying hard to gain weight and kind of gain curvs as well but its so hard to gain some...i guess what's important is how you carry yourself with confidence...some may always say and remind me how skinny i am but i know for sure i am doing my best to gain some so i just walk with confidence..regardless what they say and think..

big women can be beautiful and sexy on their own way. i see big girls who are sexy with the way they look and i can give an example for that. I LOVE QUEEN LATTIFA (did i spell her last name). she may be sexy but i like her alot! she has these confidence in her. not all big women are ugly because my view on them now, they are MORE sexier than women with skinny body figure.
