Think I'll head out to (insert name of any Mexican restaurant here) tonight to watch some fatties shovel it in like it's their last meal.

[soonerchk]

It's not my fault, I haven't gained anywhere near 18.5%!!!!

We're also going up in the teen pregnancy rankings. COINCIDENCE??? I think not.

Shows you the fun things in OK. Well at least my two favorite, ****ing and eating, and not particularly in that order.

I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.

Tell them to stop ordering the 100 degree days and we'll go outside and play.

I got myself out of the obesity category this year.

[My Opinion Matters]

I can honestly say I do not know if I would be considered obese.

Early in the morning is a good time to go out and play.

Not many folks out to play with though, they must be sleeping off the previous evenings
boofay....

Two things:

1. The way we measure obesity is crap. I am obese if I am a pound over my high school wrestling weight. I had to cut weight to get there and I was nearly zero body fat at that time.

2. The way food is made is the biggest issue, in my opinion. You have to be SO careful about how you eat, unless you have great metabolism (in which case you're only disguising the issues), that it's almost impossible to lose weight and keep it off these days. We have sacrificed health for convenience in our society.

Yep. Not to say there aren't too many overweight people in this country, but I've never agreed with the way BMI is calculated. According to that scale, a guy as tall as me should weigh 200 pounds or less. I'm sorry, but a guy who is 6' 4" who weighs less than 200 pounds looks like a scarecrow.

Bull****! 0 body fat? NFL wide receivers have around 4... anything under 4 is dangerous.

Which is why WRs often drown while on vacation. Just a little sick humor. (I guess I am begging to be banned again.)

i never wrestled, (they didn't have it in Okmulgee when i was there) but i only weighed 125 when leaving hi-school.

as a (way past) mature adult, there's no way i could survive @ 125. i weigh 160, & need to get down to about 150. that's just my personal goal, not anybody's standard. i probably never will achieve 150, it'll just remain my goal.

yes, i have a big tummy but skinny outside of that.
don't know if i'm "obese" or not. I'm only about 5'-7".
guess i don't really care.

That doesnt mean that wrestlers dont get there. I know I was at 2% body fat. Measured by both the calipers and the dunk tank.
