Athletic Mother of Three Under Fire for Posting This Picture.

While she might not look it, Maria Kang has three children between the ages of 1 and 4.

Though proud of her physique, this self-proclaimed “no-excuse mom” is being accused of “fat-shaming” after she posted a photo on Facebook showing her toned body with her three boys and asking, “What’s your excuse?”

The photo was posted last year with Kang asking people to share her message, but some didn’t take too kindly to it.

It rubbed some the wrong way, so much so that Kang issued an apology of sorts in late September, which has been shared more than 14,500 times. She admitted to Yahoo! Shine it’s actually more of a “non-apology.”

“Some saying I’m a bully, I’m fat-shaming and I need to apologize for the hurt I’ve caused women,” Kang wrote in a post.

When I traveled to Baltimore to do Grammie daycare for my 2 year old granddaughter a number of years ago, I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks!

Well to paraphrase the late Johnny Cochran...

If the hips are wide, you must deride....

You are right Moose-chelle is NOT fat, she is a HUGE woman. My mother in law had a housekeeper back in the 70’s & 80’s named Jessie. Jessie and Michelle had to be from the same African tribe. Jessie was over 6’ tall with muscles any man would be proud of. Long arms and wide across the butt but it went with the rest of her, she was huge. The 2 women even shared facial features, wide set eyes and wide cheek bones. If Jessie was still here she would be so proud.

To me she looks very fit, but doesn’t have the starved person look of models and actresses that is popular. I bet she is far healthier than those that look like stick people with a huge head. I have no problem with her, I am very far from being in her condition now but in my younger days when my kids were little I would have given her a run for her money. I had no program to stay fit, but chased 3 kids, rode horses, built fence, hauled hay, and 50# sack feed like it was nothing. My hubby traveled for construction and I had to do all the “man” chores...

The lady has no reason to apologize for being fit. More people could do it if they really, really wanted to. I know women just like her who you would never believe have had children and they look great. It’s not impossible to do.

Some of us, no matter how much we diet and exercise, will never look like that.

I am very jealous of women who don't have stretch marks after pregnancy. Most women, however, get them.

Kangtastic baby!

While watching my grandson I lost 20 pounds twice in one week.

We found him both times though.

She’s the sort of woman that might be seen as attractive by a male homo. Wait, if I am gay, why do I find her so attractive? Besides looking good in a swimsuit, the other good thing about her - NO TATTOOS!

[editor-surveyor]

Her torso looks masculine.

If you find that attractive, it reveals much.
