Overweight

I used to be big. But I started to work out rather than diet. I didn't lose much weight but I built muscle. Good idea for some people.

I'm 5'8 and 160 pounds. Average or a bit above it.

In my opinion, fat people are weak. Yes, I DO see it as something people chose not to fight and then automatically gain weight.

I think "fat" is used to label people too soon. Personally i only use it when the case gets grotesque


But I have little pity for those who are indeed at the grotesque level.

If you're not losing weight when you're trying to, it means you're not trying hard enough or you're doing it wrong. My mom is overweight and has tried to lose weight for years, but with no success (I wonder why [/sarcasm]).

I'm 6'1" and 170lbs, so I'm perfectly normal.

Fat guys, I'm fine with

Fat girls, not so much
EDIT: Unless they're old, fat, black women, then I'm cool with them

I always found this interesting, considering women have a naturally higher tendency to put on body fat as opposed to muscle.

I actually think that in many cases it is definitely not entirely people's fault if they're overweight, since the dietary guidelines in America are so ****ed up (e.g., carbs at the bottom of the Food Pyramid). Many people may think they have a healthy diet when they don't even remotely have one. Maybe this is true in some other countries also, but idk.


Incidentally, is it very common for males to be specifically attracted to overweight women, as opposed to thinner ones? (Not meaning this as an implied slight toward overweight women, mind you.)


Sort of off-topic: This topic reminded me of that video ZeldaFreak108 aka NickShorts made ("YOU'RE FAT AND IT'S YOUR FAULT").

Interestingly enough, exercise is only around 30% of losing weight. The rest is diet.

And thus that is why so many people fail to lose weight. %O

Workin' your buns off and eating those same double chili cheese burgers isn't going to change a thing.

General yous and yours. Not you you.

I believe this more often then not has to due with the natural attraction a male has to a woman who has a body that can support children and is fertile.

reminded me of this:

I don't want to be fat myself, but I don't have problems with fat people either.
However, I dislike it if fat people whine about their weight, especially when they're not ugly, just fat. You can do something against it, nobody forces you to not exercise.


Also, I'd like to know where the statistics of the OP come from.
"Most people on this board are fat" "We make so many jokes about fat people" etc. That's news to me.

Maybe it has something to do with that some of MFGG are couch potatoes/computer addicts. Even then, some people aren't fat.

My butt's usually planted in a seat, but yet I remain an underweight. (Age 16, 5'5", Like 95 Pounds. *grumble*)

In either case though, I don't really understand how 51% of MFGG is apparently fat. I've never really heard many fat jokes around here either.

I don't mind fat girls.

I'm 5'8", weigh 140 pounds, and a lot of it is muscle mass. I do 200 crunches and 100 push-ups every night so I have a 6-pack, and I'm constantly working around the house with my dad, so I have fairly big biceps.

You speak of 140 pounds as if it's bordering on overweight or something to be ashamed of...

JSKDHFKD THIS THRED WAS BORN TO CHIP AWAY AT MAI INSECURITEEZ

Where I live all the kids are skinny and all the adults are fat.

I'm fine with fat men, but girls? Aha.

I only dislike fat people who complain about their weight. Usually, I find that fat people that don't whine have a better attitude to life, and are usually very funny people. I don't know why, but this is usually a male trait; I've yet to see a decent (as in personality) overweight girl.


But people who moan about their weight are right at the top of the list of places I would like to rest my feet on.

I'm attempting to lose weight using the "just two meals and do nothing" diet.

It WAS working until the holidays came...

Me thinks excersize is in order. thanks MFGG for motivating me

IMO fat men can actually pull off being fat until, you know, it just gets horrendous.

But fat chicks, no. It just doesn't look good on them.

145lbs. I'm not rib-skinny, but pretty thin just the same.


This is pretty stupid as far as a topic. Gamers being fat is a stereotype that died around 2003-ish. The only reason you could say that is because America is the fattest country in the world, and also has the largest number of Hardcore gamers versus casual gamers. You can't generalize MFGG like that, one because a good bit of us aren't from America, and two because there's an old ass thread (That's still around today) caleed "Post pictures of yourself", and very few of us are proven to be very large.

That aside, everyone's got a different metabolism, and does different activities throughout the day. I love to eat my heart out, but I can break it down pretty quick without much effort. Add that to my being fairly active and I can't keep weight on.

However, there's plenty of people who don't eat much at all, and do plenty of physical work, but are still considered "large". It's all about the individual person. Nobody body gains or loses weight like another. You gotta specialize.

But I like double cheeseburgers. :P

Plus they're good for protein.
