I'm about 30 lbs overweight. Maybe because I'm 98% muscle lol.

or for men, something like this (affectionately known as the "beer belly"):

For those with big legs and butt with a significant amount of cellulite, that is a strong sign they are overweight.

Take a look at the photo here for some perspective:

I wouldn't consider any of these women overweight. Their weight is equally distributed, they all have hourglass shapes, and their weight appears to be appropriate for their bone structure.
Hey you know the line. That's not a beer belly it's a fuel tank for a sex machine.

I guess sizes hae changed a lot?
I think women's sizes don't make any sense at all. Some of the marketing people wacked out the sizes. My sister was very petite, and she wore 6's and 8's, and I don't think there was a zero.

I also think women can look fatter when they cram themselves into clothes that do not flatter or fit them. This was especially true with the low waist jeans where the flab had no where to hide! So unflattering!

I think that's called a "muffin top".

Ladies, believe me when I say that not all guys are after the "hollywood" perfect body.

In fact, I personally prefer slightly chubby girls on the heavier side. Curves and softer to cuddle with.

Just my 2 cents.

Size depends on bone structure. I'd be fat if I wore an eight because I'm tiny. By best friend is totally fit and lean and wears an 8 that turns heads.
