    Study: Nearly a Third of U.S. Adults Rated Obese

    You would think there would be more BBW content available because of this:

    Americans are even fatter than they think they are, with nearly a third of all adults ? almost 59 million people ? rated obese in a disturbing new government survey based on actual body measurements.

    One in five Americans, or 19.8 percent, had considered themselves obese in a 2000 survey based on people's own assessments of their girth.

    The new 1999-2000 survey puts the real number at 31 percent ? a doubling over the past two decades. The new number is considered more reliable since people consistently underestimate their weight.

                  I am surprised that it is only a third. My guess would have been 50%. I went to the County Fair this year and I thought the hogs had escaped from their pens.

                    According to ideal weight charts a 6'2" small framed man should weigh between 155 - 168, medium framed 165-178, large framed 172-197.

                      Those height/weight charts are great for statistical purposes, but with all the different body types out there, they are pretty much worthless and inappropriate to apply to an individual.

                        I'm too thin. 6'0 170 pounds.
                        I'd like to weightlift and get my weight up 5-10 pounds.

                            I bet the percentage of overweight webmasters at internext was like 75%. I like fat people. They die faster.

                              Yeah the thing they don't tell you is that their method of determining who is overwieght is completely ridiculous.

                              A bodybuilder that has 3% body and is 6 feet tall and about 250 lbs. would be considered obese. Which is obviously absurd.

                              People put to much in numbers. There is a lot more to a persons health then their height and weight.

                              They say this same stupid shit every year.

                                That was exactly my point. A better scale involves a good calculation of an individual's own BMI. There's alot more to it. And of course..anyone can sway statistics to fit what they want to claim.

                                  Yeah, I'm sure there are just soooo many bodybuilders that those numbers are completely wrong.

                                            ... the wealthier a country, the fatter its population gets. so after all it ain´t a bad survey, just proves that the US is probably the worlds wealthiest country. although it´s populated by the worlds fattest and ugliest people, but hey ... that´s a different story ... just for the books, I am fat and wealthy too ... LOL

                                                          I didn't know that Vodka is fattening.
                                                          It's time now to have a calorie caltulator or a measuring tape. I really need to measure the tummies.

                                                                it's all about what you eat andy our habits.... if you exercise alot and eat not so good, u should be fine, if you exercise and eat like shit, you will have a lil blubber,

                                                                if you eat FAST FOOD MORE THAN once aweek MAX, and dont work out, you will become obese....

                                                                thai ppl arent fat, very few are fat... they eat well, rice, vegetables, fish, poultry (or cat not sure which they serve westerners) .....

                                                                the availability of fast food is scarece out here too... and when there is a KFC, or McDonalds, or Pizza Hut, it is almost the same exact prices as in America, and most ppl in thailand cannot afford that...

                                                                I eat a lot of rice and chicken... room service, full meal, with tip included is about $1.75 haha and im talking 5 star accomodations ;-)

                                                                  You must be big-boned.. (ducking and running for cover)

                                                                    But if anything is making our society more obese as a whole is that we are busier than we were 10 year ago and are more likely to grab some fast food when we don't have time to cook. That shit will kill ya. I did read that the average american eats fast food 3 times a week. That will add 2 lbs of fat a month to your frame. Do that for an entire year and you've gained 24 lbs.

When I went to the UK, the amount of people that were overweight was so small. I can't even remember even noticing anybody that I found overweight. You go to a restaurant, and the portions are normal size.

                                                                      You go to the states, portions are HUGE, and it looks like every restaurant tries to out-do each other. That's just crazy! I remember going ot the Cheesecake Factory in LA. The appetizer plates were bigger than most meals in other countries!

                                                                      Here in Canada, unfortunately we're being influenced a little by american eating habits. The numbers probably aren't as high, but they're up there.

                                                                      You know Teen Kelly converts like crazy.

                                                                        A bodybuilder that has 3% body and is 6 feet tall and about 250 lbs. would be considered obese. Which is obviously absurd.

                                                                        People put to much in numbers. There is a lot more to a persons health then their height and weight.

                                                                        They say this same stupid shit every year.

                                                                        you keep telling yourself that a mouth full of Oreos is "genetic" - as for myself, i think its pretty clear that the US is TOTALLY OFF THE CHARTS when it comes to weight issues. Its immediately visable and apparent... especially in younger kids.

                                                                        if you can deny that, you have not done much travelling in the world.
