I can’t wait to see the opinions on this one…

damn…

I mean s**t, if the shoe fits…

Maybe this will make big women lose all that excess nasty weight…whoever wrote this is a genius

lol funny how he left out the stats on black men. Just like it’s funny how some overweight men of any race expect women to be perfect. This is why our young girls are developing eating disorders and such. I’m in no means saying that it is okay for us to be overweight but I am saying that we all need to work out to stay healthy if nothing else.

I agree with article women need to take care of themselves the part people fail to realize is that all big women arent big because they over eat or something i actually dont eat that much i was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome.I didnt know i had it until i went to the doctor it.I then found out that thats where all my weight gain came from.So i can say that some big women cant control how much weight hey gain.But i am indeed losing my weight i eat healthy and i work out and yes my weight going down.

Work it out high cholesterol and diabetes ain’t nuthin to play with!

It is a problem but the article loses credibility by stating that 100% will be at lease overweight. It may be high but not 100%

Not all will be tone and tight.Yes black women and men need to hit the gym,watch what you eat.There’s a lot of stuff in so called foods now days that aren’t natural and that is made to make people fat and sick.People read your food labels if it’s high in fat and sodium think of it as slow killing poison,hit the gym and see a doctor and nutritionist.

Something as small as taking to the gym requires confidence, and I don’t think this article was addressing that but only making matters even worse.

To produce taller children, parents must get used to the habit of enjoying normal tab water than the useless soda or the artificial packaged juice drinks. It is also important for children to enjoy the outdoors for them to gain height since they will gain a healthy dose of natural vitamin D.

Otherwise, obesity will make children stay indoors which will have its future implications.

I truely believe that black women’s weight is at a TERRIBLE level right now. I live in the SOUTH and when obese black women see slender black women they love to say ” child you need some meat on your bones”, which i hate to hear, because the women that are making those statements will feel totally uncomfortable in Victoria’s Secret.

I know its seems to be tick for at when it comes to eh racial matters and physical. Weight wise white women do take care of themselves staying in the gym. but when it comes to their skin they look like hags and way older than black women way before their old! white womena neck hands and face usually lok horrible when theyre in the their 30s!

Mind posting some stats about the disproportionate number of black men who don’t take care of their kids compared to white men? How about the overwelming number of black men incarcerated compared to other men? What about…the number of black men that complain about black women being “fat”, yet most of the white women they date are fat as well?

Any takers? Didn’t think so.

In short, black men need to stop creating a sport out of downing their own women and use that energy to improve themselves. Afterall, statistics show black men are way behind the rest of society (especially black women) when it relates to income, college educations, and all the other things that REALLY matter :)

see, theres a very thin line between thick and fat. thick is when a chic has a small waist with hips thighs booty and breasts that stick out. fat is when a chic big all over and everything hangs down like it has an anchor attached. i dont like the latter no matter what race the girl is. unless “full-figured” is the new slang for thick, people like tyra and j-hud aint that. true fat chics look closer to mo’nique than vivica fox. short chics dont generally look as good as taller chics. by taller, i mean still shorter than me, just not like a foot shorter or somethin. if i was 7’1 like shaq id be into a chic no shorter than 6’5 but since im not that huge, of course no chics shorter than like 5’0 can be any good. i mean, who wants a chubby midget?! certainly not me thats for sure. ladies do your crunches and sit ups but dont lose that ass or them tittys cuz when those go, u on a 1 way trip to toothpick-ville. no i dont like muscley women either. if it looks too much like a man im yellin “NEXT!!!”

well…whatever floats y’alls boats, Not everyone is made to be small,Just because u work out does not mean you are going to get the results that you want. Not everyone is big because they over eat!! If you don’t like what you see….DON’T LOOK!! ONLY A DOG WANTS A BONE!!

well i love being six feet tall and 150lbs. i thought my ideal weight was 130lbs because i use to be that size in high school. Well I lost the weight got down to 130lbs and guess what, this sister didnt like what she saw in the mirror, i thought i looked too skinny so you know what i did, i stuffed my face to get back up to my 145lbs-150lbs size. and I’M LOVING IT!

Its true though, we do need to exercise more…nothing wrong with having a toned body….but to the fellas…that shouldnt be the only thing they look at when they are looking for the right one.

Speaking as a BBW I love having a healthy and curvy body. Thank god I have always been curvy! I didnt have to have inject or inserted anything foreighn to get this goddess shape, it comes naturally. I will always salute curvy/plus size women. If god made anything better than a BBW, he must have kept it to himself.
I use to let negative people control tint the way I thought I should look. Then I though I AM THE TRUTH. I get mo’action than any slim. Men can resist look’n at these round body parts. Just like the clown that viewed my page; which subsequently, brought me to this blog.
I think it is so sad that black men think validate themselves by putting black women on blast. Its bad enough that the black community is disenfranchised, but to have some lame post some bullshyt statics about the year 2034 to justify yo reason for sleeping wit a white chic. Then shame on you. They cam have yo square azz, short dyck have’n, losing hair by the moments, want to get wit a white chic, joe sauage head nicca.

let me start by saying i am plus size i have my moments where i pig out but for the most part i eat healthy and the weight still doesn’t come off easy and that’s with exercise daily so yes it is true just because you see someone over weight doesn’t mean that they are lazy slobs I might even be more healthy than some of my smaller friends mainly when i hear them say they can’t last more than 3 Min’s of exercise and get out of breath going up the stairs which is not a problem i have all of our bodies are different and for far to long we have been getting compared to white women first off some of our body parts are just bigger without even trying hips and ass tend to run in black female genes although not true for everyone. while i don’t agree with the statements above about size i do agree we should be more health conscience and exercise more but to be healthy not to be a size 8 there’s a difference. and as far as that ignorant report by blindie.com it’s untrue of course but I’ll prove it to you and we all know people like this for whatever the reason some people just can’t go above a certain body weight and stay slim their whole lives and yes that’s true for black people as well. my sister has always been slim size 5 she wants more weight on her and has tried the girl can eat but she doesn’t really go above 130 she’s 5’7 and i know a lot of black girls with the same problem so that 100 percent crap goes out the window.

I will say this. I am a size 14 sometimes a 16. Yes I can stand to lose some more weight because Lord knows I have been bigger, treading a size 22. I feel that for me it is not in the cards to be a size 5 or 6. My damn head too big. I don’t think its ok to sit back and criticize Black women for being overweight or obese. Let’s encourage and lift each other up in a positive light. By making a compare and contrast post of black and white women you are doing more harm than good. It appears, even if it is not intended, that white women are superior because they are taller, slimmer, and work out. It’s a way to address any subject. This one to me was not addressed with love. This is part of the reason why black women have this chip on our shoulders when it come to the “white woman.”

Lmao….i’m lost? was this about health…which would actually matter or some silly ass opinion from a boy who needs a role model?

I agree and disagree with ur fictional statistics. Black women do need to be aware of the dangers and severe side effects of obesity,it is truely ur own opinion if u think Black women are short,fat, and dumb. White women love men like you.Keep in mind that you’ll always be a Black man even Michael Jackson couldnt win that race.

You know what, all I can say is wow, because while all the women who’ve commented are complaining about this article (and I can see why), all of the men have agreed in one for or another and none have defended us, so maybe there’s something to what has been said in this article. I’ll admit I need to lose weight and get fit, I’ll never be a size 6, but I need to get healthy and i have to say this has been a little bit of a wake up call.

I doubt I’ll ever be a size six. and there are quite a few of us out there. I am not complaining, but some of y’all men could stand to lose some of that weight too. There is a way to encourage women to tolose weight and this article is not it. When you love some one sir, you do not call them, Short little porkers, last time i checked, that would get you cut.. I know i am thick, not fat.The best thing would be for everyone to get healthy not just women..k, brutha

WHAT a disrespectful, irresponsible article on this journalist part. Not only do we need to look at the socio-economical issues- 40% percent of black males are prison inmates because of unequeal access to the educational system and other government policies. Were too busy going to school full time and working full-time to go to the gym; not to mention raising black mens kids that you dont want cause you dont even know how to raise a family cause everything poppin is were you wanna be at. Black women have took on being the father and the mother she has no time for herself anymore. She has to raise her man and a her children, the black family is broken therefore the black woman is broken the last thing she thinks about is her health and well being, refer to the WILLIE LYNCH LETTERS. And who puts the food on the shelfs with LOW FAT LABELS, THE FDA, federal drug and food adminstration does, is that the black womans fault too?- not so. I mean were programmed to believe what the government feeds us is healthy. Lets not mention that our bodies are not even made to digest 3/4 of the cheaper foods available to us. I could go on and on. ONCE AGAIN HOW IRRESPONSIBLE, DISREPECTFUL, SELF IDULGENT, AND UNINFORMATIVE THIS ARTICLE IS. This journalist should be fired.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE WITH THIS ARTICLE, WHO DECIDED TO PUBLISH THIS TRASH ANYWAY??? ITS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISRESPECT THAT BLACK WOMEN GET FROM MEN EVERYDAY.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE WITH THIS ARTICLE, WHO DECIDED TO PUBLISH THIS TRASH ANYWAY??? ITS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISRESPECT, YES I MEAN DISRESPECTFUL AND DEGRADING, THAT BLACK WOMEN GET FROM MEN EVERYDAY.

I think that healthy lifestyles are for everybody. Anybody with an average IQ should know that human sizes & body type vary;looking at your body type proves my point(I think that has something to do with genetics but don’t quote me because I’m a black woman and according to this article I’m suppose to be dumb as hell LOL). Some of your comments and stats are incorrect and misleading. I’m 5″8,250 pounds and a size 18/20. Statistics say that my wieght should be between 140 and 160. I excersie on average about three times a week, 30 mins a day. I have never had nor am I on the border of having high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabeties,any type of blood dieases or cancer nor does it run in my family. I have dated men from just about every race and all of them felt my figure was flattering. My cousins where born in 1980(13 girls),they’re all taller than there mothers,all college graduates(one is graduating form berkly)and none of them are over wieght. The problem with articles like this one is that it’s not intended to inspire positivity. It was created to cause controversy and to degrade a race of people. You mention Black women only but as a black man you yourself should be at the least disgusted with that posting. You come from a black women, we created you in the first place. Calling women little porkers as if your gods gift is childish and uncalled for. Also, your perpetuating sterotypes, i mean why does the sista have to be half naked with a gun in her hand. Next your going to say that all black women are violent. Like the old saying goes, ” your only as strong as your weakest link”. We as black women raise 80% of black men on our own. You probably come from a black women that according to your own posting is overweight, unattractive, dumb and lack the confidence to do anything about it. Your article says more about you and the lack of respect you have for your race and women than it says about hitting the gym. I want to remind black people that we represent each other,like it or not. We don’t need to hate on each other. We have enough haters already. You want to promote black womens health, then open a gym, give out free memberships, offer to personally train someone for free. But this is just ridiculous.
