Yes I am currently a bbm but working on it. 8lbs to go.
Then there is the tight v. flabby discussion.

I'm sorry, but that is RIDICULOUS. An athletic woman with big bones could be that weight and have an incredibly low body fat percentage with no flab whatsoever. It is tricky, because a lot of women lie about their weight, which can give guys the wrong idea. But a woman of that size would not be considered overweight by a medical doctor even if she had thin bones. She might have a little padding in her tits and ass, or even her belly, but not to the point where her body fat percentage was unhealthy or even unattractive. And an athletic woman with a lot of muscle mass could weigh considerably more.
It would probably be better for us to list our body fat percentages and include recent accurate photos because weight just doesn't say ANYTHING about body composition. Also, a gal's body fat percentage may be higher if she has huge boobs -- but most men wouldn't find that unattractive -- so even that should probably be taken into consideration.
Most people think of a BBW as someone who would be considered obese by a medical doctor. I'm gathering that's not your take...
According to your calculations, I am borderline BBW. I took that photo in my avatar a couple of weeks ago. Do I look close to a BBW to you? Don't worry, I won't be offended. It is just one man's opinion after all.
