I'll just leave this here:

Yep. I applaud his refusal to buy into fat logic. He is not enormous because weight is uncontrollable and dieting is make-believe and being morbidly obese is fierce; he is enormous because (by his own admission) he has an inappropriate relationship with food that demands medical attention.

We acknowledge this when it comes to anorexics or bulimics all the time; binge eating is just the opposite side of the same coin but no one wants to act like it despite it leading to hundreds times more deaths than "traditional" eating disorders every year.

Good for you, fat Penn State kicker who cracks me up every year! Good for you.

It was quite enjoyable to see him get knocked on his ass this weekend.

Anybody have a home scale they would recommend?

I don't give a rat's ass what my BMI is, but the extra pounds I've packed on in the past three years sure makes hiking Old Rag harder. Maybe it's age too.

So you're 5'10" 134 lbs?

When's the last time you actually hiked Old Rag

When's the last time you actually hiked Old Rag

Yesterday (Thursday).

And I'll also boast that my daughter did it in May, when she was still eight.

huh? i'm not good at math but i think i could be any number of combinations.. I think I wrote my height and weight earlier on this thread but I don't see how it matters much...

Ultimately, it doesn't matter (to me), but as I'm a numbers geek I was just wondering how you got 19.2. I seem to recall you saying your were 5'10". So you'd have to weight 134lbs to get 19.2 on this:

no I never said I was 5 10

I am 6 3 but I don't stand that tall.. I have very bad posture.. my weight is now at 154 or so...


there were decades where I didn't break 140.. hence my concern about "ballooning"

I am an ectomorph.
