Are You Fat?

How many members consider themselves to be overweight?

I think I actually GAINED weight during my surgery/recovery last month. I weigh ten more pounds than I did three weeks ago before they operated.

That puts me at about 210. I need to be at 195-200, that is my fighting weight. I won't be released for strenuous exercise for two more weeks. When released it's -

Time to hit the road work...[xx(]

    I am not fat just big. 6'4 1/4" 270lbs and built like a football guard. size 14EEE shoe, 15 ring, can't find a watch band to go around my wrist, and can lift one end of most cars off the ground. I work in a correctional facility and co-workers wonder how I got as strong as I am because during physical training I have to be careful not to hurt others. I grew up on a 400 acre dairy cow and tobacco farm help a lot.

    I am 5'9'' and weigh 200, I know that sounds a little over weight, but if you talk to my doctor he says i am about perfect weight wise.

    I lift realy heavy items all day long at work and because of that i have a lot of upper body strength. I think that probaly accounts for those few extra pounds, Because if you look at those general charts i should be in the 185-190 range.

    I'm fat at 6' and 230. On the other hand, a year ago I weighed 325. Exercise and a strict diet have changed my life in very profound ways. At 48 it was either get busy living or get busy dying. I'm skydiving again, meeting women and life just keeps getting better. When I finally get to about 210 I won't be able to stand myself......[:D]

    5'9 195...don't consider myself fat, most of it from lifting weights. Been 220 before, I was fat then. It was after shoulder surgery.

    If I drop 25 pounds, I'll be back down to what I never wanted to get up to.

    5'11" 160 lbs. 32" waist, but buy 33-34" pants to fit the iwb holster. Still haven't had my dress and service uniforms tailored since I was first measured in June 2001.
    I've been married for almost 4 years, and have 2 kids. I never put on any "sympathy" weight.

    I am 5'11" tall, about 3'6" wide, about 2'4" deep at the chest, 22" neck, 16" forearms,28" thighs, hands are 2.5" thick and 6" wide size 20 ring finger, feet are 14EEEE, hat size.. well so far they are all too damn small and all that is when I am relaxed. When I am working I puff up some. My weight varies during the year, but midway between hybernations I'm about 260lbs. Overweight? Maybe. Ugly too, but no-one ever says either to me. Most folks are actually pretty polite to me. I like good manners. Good mannered people and three or four lbs of rare meat a day makes me a happy man.


    sorry but these dimensions just don't add up, my double door refrigerator is 36" wide 30" deep, and you say your 42" wide x 28" thick, but only 15 pounds heavier 1" shorter than me, i know guys that are 450 pounds and do not have that girth, when i met andre the giant he wasn't that big at 7'4" 540 pounds, i think your scale may have went around twice[:D]

    my neck is 19, chest 54, arms 18, thighs 27, and i'm no way as big as my refrigerator

    I am gravitationally challenged and some kind of mutation no doubt. I have always weighed a lot more than my apparent size would dictate. I don't know why. Doctor said I have what look to be cow bones, born with six fingers on each hand, four toes on each foot, but they say I am human so I do my best to fit in.

    I am about 6-2 and have a GVW of 230#, which is over 30# more than I should weigh. I'm working on the idea that if I can just get fat enough Mrs K will want to leave me, but no matter how heavy I get I stay just as handsome [:I].

    gagirl,

    It didn't come without a sacrifice.

    My blood pressure couldn't be regulated, I got diagnosed as a diabetic, and I had severe sleep apnea. Because of all this I went under the knife in January and had Gastric Bypass surgery. My stomach is now the size of an average person's fist. I can't eat something's, and I can't eat a lot of anything. However, I really have not had the desire to eat a lot, and something's don't even appeal to me anymore. I get lab results every several months, and my sugar levels have been normal since the surgery, and as of yesterday I am now off my blood pressure meds. Now if I can just get rid of the C-PAP mask at night I will be happy. Having to buy a totally new wardrobe wasn't fun, but being able to wear some cloths I hadn't been able to wear for over 17 years is neat.

    My wife now calls me her Trophy Husband![:D]

    I have a good friend who had that done 2 yrs ago and another that hopefully will have it soon. Many people dont realize what even 10 lbs of excess weight can do to you. I people juoke about being overweight, but I am sure you are much happier now to be off the meds and feeling better. I understand the sacrifice that you have gone through seeing the before and afters and going through it with my friend Scott. I will take the test for my Certified Fitness Trainer next month and my Specialist in Performance Nutrition shortly after that. It's amazeing how the human body works and how it can withstand the beatings that the majority of people put it through. I respect you highly for what you have done for your health. I think once your body fully adjusts you will be off the c-pap. Good Luck!

    I looked at one of those height/weight charts and figured out that I am not too heavy, I'm just 22 inches too short.





    ROFLAO! I just need to grow another 48" to be perfect myself.
