One in three Ohioans is not fat. One in three. That is a fucking embarrassment.
 
I am proud to say that I'm working hard to go the opposite way. In April I was tipping the scales at just shy of 230 pounds. My size 38 jeans were starting to fit a little too snugly, and I was dreading the thought of having to start getting size 40 jeans.

Yesterday when I weighed myself the scale said 212. I'm currently comfortably wearing a pair of size 36 jeans, and think I can make it to a size 34. I'm nowhere near my ultimate goal of 180, but it's a start. :thumbsup:

:clap: Everyone has to start somewhere :clap:

Fattest states:

1. Mississippi (34.4%)
2. Alabama (32.3%)
3. West Virginia (32.2%)
4. Tennessee (31.9%)
5. Louisiana (31.6%)
6. Kentucky (31.5%)
7. Oklahoma (31.4%)
8. South Carolina (30.9%)
9. Arkansas (30.6%)
10. Michigan (30.5%)

I would like to see something more official, like a CDC/NIH/DHHR study...

i have approximately ~4-6% body fat so it's not me...i eat A LOT, but i'm also very active and have an extremely enthusiastic metabolism

~4-6%??? Ava Cowan and the like only has that when their in Contest Shape. For a man being at ~4-6% BFI; by most nutritionists and physicians is considered to be emaciated. How have you gotten this tested by? Human-Judgement testing? Calipers? Dual X-Ray Absortiometry (DEXA)? or by Hydro? I've gotten both DEXA and Hydro fat analysis done almost twice quarterly since I've been working out (>7 years); I'm down to 10%; that is Competition Contest IFBB ready for guys like Flex Lewis, Ronnie Coleman, Dennis Wolf. Calipers have a error of +/- 1.5-3% depending on how you do it; preferably by a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa) personal trainer. So, I'm doubtful you have that low of a BFI.

Hiliary 2020
I just returned to the states after being in Colombia for 4 years straight.
been here a month and not only can I not get used to seeing how fat almost everyone is but it honestly repulses me to an extent.

What is it that makes so many so fat?
I really would like to know.

Germans Are Fattest People in Europe, Study Shows

A new study has found that Germany has the highest proportion of overweight people in Europe, partly due to the country's high beer consumption. But Britain, Greece and some Eastern Europe countries have an even higher share of truly obese people.

The study by the International Association for the Study of Obesity found that in Germany 75.4 percent of men and 58.9 percent of women are overweight, far higher than levels in Italy and France.

The organization classifies people as overweight if their Body Mass Index is greater than 25. The index is arrived at by dividing one's weight in kilos by the squared height in meters. For example a man who weighs 75 kilos and is 1.8 meters tall has a BMI of 23.15 (75: 1.80² = 23.15).

But Germany is behind the Greeks, British and some Eastern European countries when it comes to obesity, classified as a BMI above 30.

...

I guess the kicker is how you define it. There are big people who are really fit and just have a lot of flesh on their bodies. I have a buddy who works in building houses who can lift a lot of weight. He is, like 1,90 m and probably weighs 120 kilos. Statistically he is obese

But if you look at the majority of obese people, they are clearly fat.

Let us look at the reasons: So many people are a) not having the knowledge about what is healthy and what''s not. When they see a commercial of burgers etc which are ALLLLLL good for you, hey, must be true. And b) better food - here in Germany, at least tends to cost more. The junk you get in supermarkets is cheap, but it costs you in the long run.
 
Looks to me like she's been slimming down.

:cool:

Good one

Jesus. If I was 180 I'd be a twig. I'm a happy 245. I work out, run and I don't own a car so I walk and bike everywhere. I'm not a body builder by any means, but I sure the fuck ain't obese, but according to bmi, I am. Fuck that.

So what is obese?

You must be tall as fuck

I'm 6'3. Definitely not fat.

Confirmation.
