Yes, I googled and found similar numbers that would put her at a BMI of 19, which is indeed almost underweight. I don't buy the numbers though. I mean look at the thighs in that picture. She's definitely bigger than the majority of the women at my work, and they're about normal weight. I'd put her at around a BMI of 25 or 174.5 lbs. Not overweight, but definitely not skinny.

    Consider the camera angles here as well. The camera is shooting from slightly below which puts emphasis on her thighs and hips with the slight lens distortion.

    This is insane of you.

    Fair enough, but that doesn't explain why her face looks so puffy

    Her face isn't even part of this conversation. You're just rudely commenting on a woman's body at this point.

    I'm not the one who brought it up, I'm only disagreeing with an argument that was presented to me. The entire post hinges on an agreement that she is skinny. And yeah, the post is rude. I normally never comment on people's body out of nowhere, and I never even cared about her weight in the first place.

    I don't know how you can say "her face isn't part of this conversation" when the conversation is about whether somebody looks skinny or not. You brought the camera angle argument up and her face is furthest from the camera, yet it's still not the face of a skinny person.
