50% of American women are overweight/obese

[tiesto]

Holy shit... I didn't even realize it was THAT high. I gotta get out of this country, gotta get over to Poland or the Czech Republic or something. God I am so sick of fat girls liking me, I go to the gym, eat really healthy, take care of myself, exercise, the least I expect is for a girl to do the same.

black men everywhere give a sigh of relief

[Tauntaun]

but there’s no doubt that employers — male and female, fat and thin – don’t like looking at fat chicks in the office and that this may affect their employment prospects.

[Raban]

Hilariously enough this is probably gonna do a 360 in 10-15 years because of how much we push nutrition on my entire generation.

Your avatar makes that statement even more funnier.

yeah, i don't know about that

not until shit like HFCS goes away.

Moo... FEED ME!

Fat asses. jesus christ would NOT approve.

I don't think 360 means what you think it means.

[Phoenix Dark]

There was a lot of emphasis on health and fitness in the late 80s and 90s too.

The thing that really shocks me is when I see morbidly fat women walking around campus. We need to kill the politically correct "fat is ok" movement and make this a health issue, which is what it is. And oh yea, Monique needs to be arrested

I am going to assume you meant 180. However, if that is what you meant, you are wrong. The prevalence of childhood obesity is growing. Also the rates are greater for blacks and hispanics. Since a greater percentage of the US population will be black or hispanic, obesity rates will only continue to increase.

Childhood obesity increased from 5 percent in 1964 to about 13 percent in 1994. Today, it is about 20 percent – and rising.

As someone who is blessed with good genetics when it comes to this (all of my relatives on my dad's side of the family are pretty thin - though my lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise certainly help), I have to wonder, is it really that hard to lose all this weight? Provided you can give yourself a bit of motivation to watch what you eat and drink and go to the gym. I know quite a few people that went from being pretty chubby to thin/average body types in the course of a few months. I think that if people just replaced all that soda they drink with green tea and water, we'll be seeing at least a bit of improvement.

[Eric P]

i can tell you as a fat man who has had to work his ass off to lose weight, that when i was walking 6 miles a day and hitting the gym 3 times a week for an hour on the weights for months watching what i ate with a meticulous eye and caloric count i was STILL fat.

so that's really annoying and disheartening as shit.

[tiesto]

Another thing that I've noticed is that a lot of girls on Match will say for their body type "Average" but they'll really be heffers... I guess if 50% of all women are fatties, then "Average" would be accurate... but it's still annoying. I now only put my search criteria in as girls who are "Slender" or "Athletic and Toned".

The funny thing is that this weekend I have the chance to bone a fatty who actually has a cute face... but I don't want to, I'm sick of em.

Fuck, that really sucks

But then again, it's not as big of a dealbreaker to be overweight for guys as it is for girls...

I didn't think of that 

I'm all for "thick" girls but the fatties need to get at the back of the bus

Oddly, that's where the black men usually sit.

[Phoenix Dark]

I can't deny it. I prefer the back of the bus so I can see everything that's going on  - which is very important when you're surrounded by poor black people

finally, an original statement on the internet

[Phoenix Dark]

Walking>running. I hate running because it makes me look like I'm guilty or something. A casual walk does more than enough for the body

You really want to get your heart-rate pumping when you exercise. Unless you are really out of shape, walking really won't do the trick.

[MrAngryFace]

MOST people are at least out of shape, which contributes to being overweight, which in turn contributes to obesity in a lot o cases. Im not really shocked that lots of people are fat these days.

i really was(am) out of shape, so it was doing the trick.

how is this shocking

[Mupepe]

i love me a thick hispanic girl.  so no probs.

as long as her arms aren't akin to gelatin, naw i mean?

[tiesto]

I'm only really attracted to thin white girls... I'm not really a very open-minded person when it comes to dating  :'(

Which isn't a good idea when you're an average looking dude. SMH

[DJ_Tet]

This is depressing.  I noticed a couple of months ago at Costco how HUGE most people are.  It was startling.  Makes me value my gf with curves, she is a dying species.

I've gotten a few compliments from that pic, even if people say I look really serious! But I don't need glasses anymore, remember? =P

ohh yea I forgot. You were luckier than my accounting teacher; we've missed more than a week of class because he's had complications with the surgery

it was sad when I went to France how much more attractive French women were just by virtue of being Not Huge

it's hard to find a reasonably skinny girl and I'm in goddamned Southern California

[DJ_Tet]

Exactly, SP.  I asked my dad who had an obese friend who died a few years back about the phenomena.  My dad at 60+ said his friend used to really stick out in the 70's and 80's but recently it wasn't unusual to see people of his friends' size (400+ lbs.)

Everywhere you look you see someone who is over 300 lbs.  It's gotten to the point where I am the same weight I was in high school, but I'm not as 'fat' now as I was then.  I'm much more normal sized thanks to the rest of the fatties.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I blame HFCS and Yum! Brands

i had never heard of yum brands until i went to their website

now that i have

it's kind of scary

they should have paid for the transformers marketing

What about thick hairy hispanic girls?

No different here in North California. Fatties galore. Men and women both, though.

The worse kind is the Glamorous 300LB Fat Chick who doesn't realize she can't wear a size 5. If I was a cop I'd give them tickets for indecent exposure wtf

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Not a shock and I don't see the rates going down anytime soon.

America seems to be getting used to fatties.  The whole "big is beautiful" is now starting to creep into advertising.  Granted, I'm not a fan of rail thin models but I'm equally distressed about having 250 lb women on advertisements.

It isn't just a vanity issue either.  The health costs of obesity are already enormous and given the current US health system, I'm going to have fork over my entire salary for health insurance because Ms. Twinkiesnhohos can't keep the fucking snack cakes out of her gullet.

I might not even wind up getting health insurance after all.

[whiteACID]

I'm fat

[whiteACID]

No, you're from Michigan.

How about me?

[DJ_Tet]

Actually, it doesn't take a lot for a woman to enter dangerous territory when it comes to weight.  Anything more than 150 lbs on even a taller frame (5'8+) can be bad for a lot of reasons, the least of which is reproduction.  The whole female body shuts down when it carries extra weight.

[whiteACID]

What about 5'3" and 118 lbs?

[DJ_Tet]

I wouldn't say that's fat.

I doubt a doctor would either, but at 5'3 and 130 lbs you'd probably be pushing it on a clinical definition.

[Mupepe]

that's not fat, that's great

[Phoenix Dark]

I'd need pics to determine this

[DJ_Tet]

that's not fat, that's great

Yeah, personally 5'3 118 lbs is still a little small for my tastes.  But it's definitely preferrable to 5'3 98 lbs.

[brawndolicious]

I don't see that many fat people at all but I am a college student in the bay area.  although two years ago a fat chick was obsessively stalking me so I cussed her out.  I would say we have less than 5% fat people though.
