Any of you guys fat by any medical standard?

[HotDogJoe]

If so, what do you plan to do about it?

I hear no bacon, egg, cheese on a roll is a good start.

"I went to the gym today to run a few miles, as I do a few times a week in the winter. Between miles, I sometimes hop on a row machine for a few minutes just to change muscle groups.

While I was rowing, a lady was on a stairmaster next to me. I don’t know her, but I’ve been seeing her come in since the beginning of the year. So a resolutioner who survived the first three weeks. Good on her. Now, there’s no way to beat around it, this is a large lady, well into obese territory from a medical standpoint. But she’s on this stairmaster just fucking crushing it. Probably 75-80 stairs a minute, for a good 15 minutes by the time I sit down to row, which is more than I can do at the moment.

And wouldn’t you know, some fucking brototype just has to walk by and say something shitty about her weight to me. She’s got earbuds in, but the look on her face tells me she heard.

Now, I’ve been going to the gym regularly for four and a half years, and at my gym, you almost never hear shit like this. And there’s a good reason for that, it’s rude, cruel, and entirely counter-productive.

So I got up from my machine and told him, “Wait right there.” Then I went and grabbed two 60lb dumbells off the free weight rack and handed them to him.

“What are these for?” The brotosaurus asked.

“For you, while you do stairs for…” I glanced at her display, “15 minutes.”

“What? I can’t do stairs with that much extra weight,” he said.

“Really? Because she can. So until you’re as tough as she is, maybe keep your mouth shut,” I said.

Because I’m sorry, but that shit isn’t going to fly around me. I have my issues with the body positivity movement and its tactic acceptance of unhealthy lifestyles, but this is someone who has made a commitment to changing her circumstances and is putting in the REALLY hard work necessary.

The dead last thing anyone in her situation needs, or deserves, is some little brohemian asshole who can’t relate to what she’s going through making snide remarks while she’s actively engaging in making a positive change. She has earned encouragement from other people making the same strides. And if that’s too hard, then the least she deserves is his silence.

End gym rant."

The BMI scale is kind of bullshit, if you really schinkle bout it. Every body is different, pun intended.

I'm still working to lose some weight myself, though Mal keeps telling me not to get too skinny. Love her, but I'm 52 years old, what's the likelihood I'm going to get skinny?

Hahaha he's such a lunatic fantasist. Just that part alone lets you know conclusively that he's lying.

Imagine trying to drop 120lbs of dumbbells in somebody's hands while you're in the middle of an argument with them.

Maniac. Fat maniac .

Yes, so I can lift heavier weight. After I put up some fawkin numbers I'll probably taper off, ditch the fat, and do something else.

I am not a glutenous piece of shit, myself. But if some of you are having a tough time being fat why don't you stop being lazy slobs, switch to 6 "lean and green" meals a day, and NO FOOD AFTER 8pm. Come on you fat fucks, ANYONE CAN DO IT.

I can't wait to get back into the sauna. My lungs REALLY miss that!
