Dr. Feeder Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well there goes the idea that CURVAGE is some kind of safe non-judgmental place for curvy/larger women no matter how they look or how they arrived at there current body situation. That ship sailed a long time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators gta Posted June 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2014 In her latest video, she talks about the people who are asking to extend her weight gain journey, or telling her to keep on the weight: She makes a very good point: the whole point of this experiment was to lose the weight, she had to gain some in order to start it. It doesn't matter that she only gained 30 pounds in 3 months (which is still quite a bit for someone outside of this community, by the by). She put her health at risk (cholesterol, blood pressure, resting heart rate, etc) so that she can be more than an already fit trainer telling someone how easy it is to lose weight. She understands she is not starting from the same place as an obese person who never works out and has bad eating habits. It's not all or nothing here, she's just trying to reach out to those who need the motivation to start exercising and eating right by watching somebody else do it. I am honestly going to pay more attention to her weight loss because she will most likely have some great advice that I can use in my own workout routine and diet. This is literally a site dedicated to posting pictures of hot women. Is that not objectification? I would argue that it doesn't become a problem until people start spamming the women in question; it's no more harmful than jacking off to a magazine that you can tab out of. People shouldn't harass her, but it's not like anonymous strangers getting turned on by her weight gain is harming her in any way. I agree, but people are harassing her. Worse yet, people from Curvage are harassing her. Here's a comment from a prevalent Curvage user in the YouTube comments: This is the epitome of narcissism. You've gained a negligible amount of weight just so you can turn around and show the world how easy it is to lose weight? What a bunch of bullshit, from an egotistical, ugly, gym rat. I will agree with Serendipity that there is a fine line between being able to have criticism while embracing other standards of beauty, but that is just flat out bullying. It's no better than calling her a fat pig for putting on the weight, and shaming her into bad body image because she currently isn't Hollywood thin. While some people will just be nasty in life, no matter what they find attractive (see above), I fear others think that being in the fringes of human sexuality gives them some right to cross the line of acceptable behavior when it comes to defending their sexuality.

KazanKazani Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There's so much white knighting in the online media, I need shades to view wikipedia. But seriously, not bad. Gotta appreciate the act of the gain however small it occurs, most of the time regardless of circumstances; much like in everyday life, no?

buzzerbeater3932 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 She gained about 24 pounds of fat. It won't be easy to lose 2 pounds per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MUSEic Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You mistake the actions of one who pokes the hornets' nest for the cautious interventions of an inquisitive entomologist. One has a natural interest in bugs. The other just likes to watch insects react in needless fury. Pedant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneggis Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 well, i really like the idea of a fitness trainer porking up. even tho it's just a weight experiment. I think that's just too hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omphpumph Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Damn, her body looks REALLY nice in that last video. Some people just don't know what sexy is. Maybe she'll have a change of heart and decide to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s163 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ha she already lost 8 lbs in the first week. The weight is just gonna fall right off because she was never out of shape in the first place and no one who's actually trying to lose weight will get results like that.

Actually, a lot of people just starting out lose a ton of weight immediately. It's mostly water weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some of it is, but I'm saying she never slowed down her metabolism, she just ate a shit ton and cut back a little on exercise. Now that she's back to eating less and doing cardio again, she'll lose the weight in no time. Not very helpful to viewers starting from scratch and trying to lose weight.

Tell me: how does one slow down one's metabolism? Did you want her to lose muscle? Even if she stopped exercising, she would not lose very much muscle, especially given she is on a large calorie surplus. In any case, it is very easy to lose weight: eat fewer calories than you use.

Obviously some people have trouble putting the simple truth into practice. If people really wanted to lose weight, they could. They do not because they prefer to be fat and eat what they want. They do not have willpower or the patience. If they even make an attempt to lose weight they usually crash diet (because they are impatient) and end up giving up, or lose weight and then go back to their old habits.

That's exactly the problem. She can't just flip a switch to slow her metabolism so losing weight for her is going to be a breeze. I'm saying I never quite got the whole point of this experiment. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she did it, but I just don't get why. What did she learn from this? She's going to be back to normal in a month.

Why don't they make the necessary changes? I was being loose when I said they prefer to be fat. I meant that the benefit to them of not losing weight is less than the cost (the cost is making the necessary changes to their lifestyle). It might be true that some truly prefer to be fat: if given the choice between being fat and thin (all other things equal), a small percentage might choose to be fat.

topofthecharts Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 That's exactly the problem. She can't just flip a switch to slow her metabolism so losing weight for her is going to be a breeze. I'm saying I never quite got the whole point of this experiment. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she did it, but I just don't get why. What did she learn from this? She's going to be back to normal in a month. It's a promotion for her personal training business. Hey look I lost 30lbs and x% body fat in 1 month. Let me train you so you can do the same. And by filming the weight gain bit in such detail it makes the story seem more authentic even though it's not. She has the advantages of: 1. Metabolism 2. The underlying muscles that are trained in working hard (and she only stopped training for a couple of weeks so they wouldn't have decreased at all really) 3. The self belief that she'll get the weight off For the every day person they have to probably train for at least a month just to get the muscles and joints to a stage where they are strong enough to train at anywhere near the intensity will train at. At the same time they'll lose weight if they diet efficiently but not too much as they'll have to get used to the new intake and not slow their metabolism by fasting. Plus at some stage during that month they'll likely lose motivation by not seeing progress. They also have a much higher chance of injury. She's not trying to be manipulative or deceitful. She's pretty open about the whole thing. But it's just nowhere near as fascinating a story as people might think. The cool thing was seeing how much hotter she looked with the weight going on.
