getting fat

[captain_nintendo]

Its that damn sody pop that'll get ya. Of course this is from a person who's never weighed over 150.

Geez !

Last time I wieghed that little I was maybe in the 6th grade ? (P.S. I was 6 foot tall then)

[den68]

I'm 5'11" and about 250, which as I found out this weekend is too fat to ride the Millennium Force at Cedar Point.

my doctor also told me I'm obese.

I know I need to lose weight but I am very active. I play hockey once a week, bike a few times a week and do other things. I'm not a slug on the couch all the time.

but yeah, it's the sody pop that get's me. I eat pretty healthy, just can't give up the Dew.

I'm 5'11" and about 250,

So am I. Some chart says I am obese but I don't think I am. Obese people are those that are so fat they can't walk or move at all.

[wrldstrman]

yeah i dont understand the charts they use wonder if they relize muscle weighs more than fat..as far as my arms and legs go there really muscular it hard to even get enough skin pinched for a body fat measurement..but the mid section is a totally diffrent story...guess i never liked doing sit ups because when you work the arms chest or legs ypo can see your gains it also motivitates you to look in the mirror and see a big old pumped arm..plus I like the feeling (eventho a little concited) of standing behind the little guys looking at there abs in the mirrior and totally dwarfing them...I would rather keep my 20 inch guns and the gut then have a small waist line..but i guess if i get off my lazy behind i can have the abs to...i say this i chow down on a swiss roll

I'm 5'10" and 185.  I haven't had a chance to hit the gym, in like two months and it's starting to bug me.  I swear to God I can actually feel myself getting weaker as the time goes by.

When I was going to the gym regularly (which was 5 times a week) I could put up around 260-270.  Now I don't think I could break 225.

I'm still pretty quick for a big guy. When I played softball this summer I got quite a few infield hits because the fielders thought they had all day to throw out the slow fat guy. They're watching their throw still in the air as I'm safely standing on 1st base.

[wrldstrman]

I used to love to play softball..until I compound fractured my leg playing second base and now my leg looks like the hardware section .I enjoy going through metal detctors. |D

Obese people are those that are so fat they can't walk or move at all.

Actually, that's a different classification alltogether.  It's "morbidly obese."  Some of those people you are thinking of (like the lady whose skin became grafted to her couch because she didn't move for so long) are even beyond this morbidly obese classification, for which they have no name.  But yeah, to be obese, you don't have to be so fat that you are immobile.  You can still be quite active, really - just not healthy.

[den68]

the weird thing was that the obesity threshhold was like 190 or so. that seems too damn thin to me.

I'm 6' and weigh about 215 now.  I've been the same weight (within 10lbs) for about 10 years now. When I got outta bootcamp and was down to 185 and looked like death - it took me about 2 years to get back over 200 and I worked out 5 days a week and ate like a madman.  
When I was 16, I weighed about 240 but was lifting weights 6 days a week, taking supplements, and ran at least 2 miles every morning and afternoon.
Something about bad knees, bad back, bad hip - all from football - that makes it hard for me to do alot of exercising now.  Every time I get to the gym on a regular routine, I tear something up - last time was the left knee, again.
I'm classified as overweight/borderline obese.  What a fucking joke!  Ask Scott or Rick if I'm that big.  Well, Scott will say I'm a fatass but that's Scott for you |D

[captain_nintendo]

No Chris you arent a "fatass"


I do need to start pumping some iron again though  
Might pick up a third hockey league to play in as well.  :-/

Who knows.....

[Izret101]

I'm getting fat from school lunches again.

Even with being more active lately i'm packing it on.
Damn slow meabolism.

In anycase i am going to try and start using a friends weight bench. He has a strange work schedual though so i doubt it will work out.

[wrldstrman]

[Izret101]
