Zero body fat...or?

is it a bad thing that I originally read your post as containing a similar word to "Virginia" and wondered how any woman could fit a ham up in there before I realized my mistake?

edit: Just to keep this post from being entirely worthless, here's a serious answer to Brenda's question.

I think the deal is that electricity travels at different resistance rates through different tissues. In order to determine your body fat, they run a low level current through you and measure the resistance it meets. They use that to calculate the amount of fat in the tissue. I don't know how they account for the different bone masses, muscle tissues, organs, etc. that all presumably have their own rates of resistance, but presumably the formula they use takes that into account somehow. That's it in a nutshell.

you are not the only one that saw the wording that way

Jenni waves back: OH! yes yes, if you are so inclined and able to , we need some/ more plus-size animations in SL!!!

Just looked at your Flickr photos and your avi looks great!!! I've been thinking of adding a bit more "curves and padding" to my avi. When I checked out what my "numbers" were after reading this thread...wowza...it would sound like I'm really chubby...but those who have seen my avi can attest it's not. It must all be in the combination of the way the sliders come together, not just pure numbers.

And, if I've interpreted comments of many of the men on the forums correctly, they're happy too. One male friend of mine refers to the so-called model types as "walking sticks."

Thank you Czari I spent a lot of time on the shape. Went back several times tweaking it over the months I've been here, but haven't touched her for quite a while now. I like that she looks sort of "soft" in some places (her stomach), touchable.

I remember in the movie Pulp Fiction, there is a conversation Bruce Willis's character is having with his French wife (who does not have a good grasp of English) where she is saying how she wants a "pot"; refering to a pot belly She thinks it's sexy, feminine. I always enjoyed that small aside, because it was such a different view of what most American's think of the perfect female body these days and, fit more into what my RL physique is. This stuck with me when I was creating my Av. Most especially after seeing how many "sticks" were running around. I made a specific point to create something more in tune with what I thought was "realistic".

Here Trout - I took this today just for you, although quite PG rated I put it in the Never Ending Thread, but you may have missed it.

I find that zero body fat makes the waist-hip junction look funky. Funky bad, that is. Just moving it up to 3 or so makes it look less unnaturally abrupt.
