When I was young and athletic I weighed in at 220 - 230 but looked more like 175 with my clothes on. Considering I was only about 5' 8" at the time my insurance company defined as "morbidly obese" and my doctor had to write them saying I was probably the most fit patient he had. Those height and weight numbers are averages and there are always exceptions. Some of your size is how you workout (just say NO to steroids) but the bigger part is probably genetics.

To the "fat shamers" out there, remove the log from your own eye before complaining about the speck in your fellow man's eye.

Oh God, we're getting into the single anecdote while almost no adults do these things part of the book. Just plain idiocy

That is like, your opinion man

Too thin is bad
Too fat is bad

Most folks are somewhere in-between and it works for them. I was a Mick Wop growing up and back then the shaming was all about your ethnic makeup. That is taboo now some have shifted as a culture to fat, bald, or white as the "acceptable" shame. I just don't buy into it like the rest of the sheep out there now under 40.

Think of when your friends get divorced and the wife says the husband was an arse and the husband says the wife was fat. As the neutral observer the reality is not either extreme but they both feel better about shaming the other one than admit they where at least partly responsible for the failure. What a bunch of candy assed narcissist we have let the USA become.

Most folks are not in between, most folks are fat and it's not working for them because they're medicated to the gills with chronic disease.

Only one of those is objective and causes undeniable medical complications, but other than that I don't know what the frick you are getting at.

According to the stupid BMI index what I weighed in high school when I had washboard abs was overweight. I am borderline morbidly obese according to it now at 6’6 295. I’ve recently lost 15 lbs

This was me back in March at 310 lbs

You too stupid to understand math or just don't want to?

Nice. Good work bro. Awesome to see you did something and made the change unlike other people who do nothing or run to big pharma.

I dunno but when I was younger and "heroin chic" was popular I was dating a lot of them and it was like ... Damn, eat something woman so you look more like women are supposed to look. Some them looked like Holocaust survivors and their thin was unhealthy.

I agree on those that are more couch potato than human now but most of that is addiction to cocooning with modern electronics instead of getting out and socially interacting with real live people.

You're still like 20lbs or 10% bw overweight, so yes by a decent amount.
