When it comes to men’s and women’s weight, there are certain myths that we tend to perpetuate.
Like, men who are over 200 pounds need to look like this or that to be fit and a woman must be under 200 pounds and/or tall or she’s fat — plain and simple, right? Well, wrong!
There are a growing number of women who are proving that your scale doesn’t determine if your healthy or not.
Take a look at these beautiful women who are taking social media by storm and proving that healthy comes in all sizes–even the over-200 size.
Candice says: “This just goes to show you at my smallest I still had the skin I had had no surgeries to remove the skin but I appeared and felt so much bigger then I do at a heavier weight.
What I like to get back to 200 yes just because I felt pretty comfortable at that weight but anything below that has been extremely hard for me to maintain. But that is my body.
That is my story. Some people may think 200 is still extremely big or overweight Lord knows the world and my doctors charts do haha but I am so much healthier today than even a year ago and I will continue to try to be even more healthier as I keep growing in maturity and age haha😜😘💓 I love you guys!”
Renee says: “Coming from size 24 was no easy task..but i got it done..many will discourage you….family may not want no part of your healthy eating habits..friends may not understand why you can’t eat out like you used to..Spouse may discourage you by telling you he’s not attracted to small women don’t lose weight..You may go at this fitlife alone…I did…..but When I walk this staircase…..Know it’s all me….the Pain..the struggle..to beat the odds.I did this for me..and ain’t no stopping me now….My lifestyle 24/7 while Thick….Amen….”
Anowa says: “You can’t cheat hard work! I’m sure some of you would not believe 3 months ago I had my umbilical hernia repaired.
My stomach was swollen and looked about 5 months pregnant.
I could not train for 2 months and was left with 4 small incisions on the left side of my abdomen. I could barely stand up straight for a week but I pushed through. I’m so glad I did it.
Many of you could see my hernia in my pictures because it was the size of a small baseball.
Twin pregnancy left me with a hernia. I carried my sons until 39 weeks until my scheduled c-section.
My advice to you is don’t play with your health! Due to my heavy lifting, my hernia could have ruptured at any moment. There were times that I was bent over in pain from my hernia.
If it’s giving you problems please get it fixed. I waited until my twins were 4 because I could go without picking them up for more than several weeks. I hope this helps someone out there.”

Meitai says: “More cardio isn’t always the answer. Cutting carbs and shit isn’t always the answer.
Being metabolically healthy is the damn answer! If you’re body is already in a stressed state, the shit only makes it worse.
I can’t wait to start getting some of this weight off me. I ain’t making no excuses, but I have so much shit going on in my life.
Phd program, depression, grief hits me in spurts… But I still find strength to push.
That’s my motivation! I’ve always battled with my weight, but this damn battle is mine!
Hey, I’m human. The good thing is I know what to do. So soon and very soon, I’ll be starting.
I know one damn thing though… Once I get it off this time, I ain’t damn going back! I always try to beat myself. So I’m always thinking…#BIGGER #BETTER & #STRONGER.”

“I weigh 240 pounds, but nobody would guess because I’m tall,” Aisha shared in a video caption. “This is for tall women, but also all women, to never be ashamed and embarrassed by the scale.”
She went on to share something that we all should take heed of, “Weight looks different on everybody. Embrace it.”
