Choices are:
Ample = fat
Athletic = average
Average = fat
Large = ginormous
A little extra padding = fat
Slim/Petite = waif

Pretty much this. You know people signing up for a dating site are going to exaggerate/outright lie. You have a 90% chance of the person being fat regardless of what they picked. I would guess that ample/large/extra padding would be mostly obese people. Average would probably be overweight to near obese.

In a country where 1/3 of adults are obese and 2/3 are overweight, this sounds about right.

I have to agree with this.
 
I think women are more prone to lie or over exaggerate than men. I don't know how many average women turn out to have a gut. Then again, if you get a girl that puts large/curvy/few extra pounds and is in good shape, then know she has low self esteem.
 
it's a little overweight, but people online like to say they are ample instead of obese (not just a little overweight).

Why the "hmm"? As other said, I think it is below heavy and above thin.

Lola, Lola, Lola, ample is a standard current euphemism for fleshy fatty fat fat overweight.
