I heard that the LEAST obese state today is higher than the MOST obese state in 1995. That is sad.
I guess I'll always be a trend-breaker.
I'm approaching 500...
...miles, for the year. Not pounds.

Personally I don't want to live to be so old that I can't take care of myself. Problem is I don't know at what age that would happen.

I dunno. It was on NPR on the drive home. I like Doritos, but not a bag a day.
One of my sisters use to attack the Charlie Chips can as soon as they were delivered to the house. She would eat the entire can of potato chips before Mom and Dad got home from work. it got so bad and uncontrolable that our folks ended up changing our order so we got 1 can of pretzels and 2 cans of potato chips each month so the the rest of us might have a chip or two for ourselves.
The weird thing about it was that she was the only one in the family who never had to fight the weight battle. She ate like a bird the rest of the month.
not just about age. i was in panera yesterday and obese guy came in and could not plug in his computer because he couldn't get to the outlet!
This is a statistic I am not happy being a part of... was working to undo bad habits before this report.. this have given me a new and greater urgency

Good luck to everybody who is trying to shed some tonnage. I know it's not easy.
I don't eat great myself, but I love getting outside and doing FUN active things. I hate running for the sake of running; I'd much rather play team sports or take my kid on a bike ride. That's how I'm able to stay just short of the official "overweight" mark.
I'm not talking about age to be fat I'm talking about age to die.
yeh - i know. i was just saying that being fat isn't 100% about death - it's also about living!
I don't believe so.
That depends entirely on how well you take care of yourself.
It's never too late to improve your health.

Dude... actually this is one of those threads that doesn't beg for pictures.
"It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone," You're harming me by needlessly burdening the health care system and driving up costs which affect my (self paid) insurance rates.
so 700# now, wants to gain 300#. eats 15000cal/day. she needs around 7000 cal per day to not loose weight so that's an extra 8000 cal per day she's eating. at 3500 cal per pound, she's gaining 2.28 pounds per day or almost 16 pounds per week (assuming she doesn't exercise). so she'll be there in 131 days if her heart doesn't give out first.
anyone know if an insurer would sell her health or life insurance?
True.
Can they not under Obamacare? Pre-existing condition? I don't want this transitioned to the CE Forum, but the question was posed.
I know, you just can't help it!
Have a very blessed day!
That part has not kicked in yet. But if she had a regular job that provided insurance I don't think she could be denied. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Or her chair, or the floor underneath it...
