I don't talk to fatties like you who think they
aren't fat. At least Mike admits he is obese.

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

You must be very young Simon, else you'd know that most of the
"beauties" seen in classic paintings would be considered obese today.
I'll bet you don't remember the ad's that showed the 198 pound weakling
being abused by "real men" until he wised up and took their
body-building course. And none other than Ben Franklin advised men to
marry young (teen) women after having made their fortune, hmmm.

I've known a handful of fat women and NONE were
well-adjusted people....

That's because our sexually repressive society brainwashed them to
believe sex is sinful, so they become fat to avoid it.

It just seems to me ....

Question is, when is someone obese. My MD thinks I'm obese cuz I weigh
240 and am barely 6' tall. In fact he knows I am obese cuz his chart
says so - you know the one he got from the diet drug company. Never mind
that my body fat content is so low I'm a "sinker".

Folks in beautiful downtown Compton, Ca. (Just south of Watts) have a
name for men who weigh less than 200 pounds. They call them "victims".
So, it just seems to me that any male weighing less otta get with the
program ... right? (c:

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.

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:

I did at first. Then after a while I could start doing all the things my lungs had never let me do and now I ride about 300 km a week on my bicycle. That took care of all my extra weight and then some. Plus it exchanges fat for muscle continuously.

Of course I am not obese. I am from Sweden where you still get surprised when you see somebody that is.
However I am sad to inform you that your neck measuring theory doesn't work out on me. My neck is 39 cm. My BMI however is about 22 or 23 and my bodyfat measure is about 12% measured at the gym. Of course I weigh 65 pounds less than Vito and being taller than him.

All this is of course thanks to you talking me into quitting smoking two years ago.
