Stupider than I thought. What about lung capacity?
What about gas in the intestine? What about bone
mass?

The float test measures specific gravity and that's it.
Specific gravity has little to do with percent of fat
in the body.

I sink if I let all the air out of my lungs. I happen to
have huge lung capacity and if I fill my lungs it takes
twenty pound of dive weights to sink me.

Measure your neck if it is bigger than 37cm you likely
are obese. My neck is 35.5 cm. What's yours?

Discussion: NC measurement is a simple and time-saving screening measure that can be used to identify overweight and obese patients. Men with NC 37 cm and women with NC 34 cm are not to be considered overweight. Patients with NC 37 cm for men and 34 cm for women require additional evaluation of overweight or obesity status.

Keep denying you are obese all the way to
your grave. Fat is bad enough. Stupid and
fat is a deadly combination.

You're right! Question is "who is in denial?" Simple test: do you float?
If so, you're fatter than I am cuz I sink - clear to the bottom if I
don't swim. That's cuz bone and muscle are heavier than water but fat is
lighter.

BTW skinny folks don't live longer - life just seems longer to them. (c:
