I am obese!.

[BOUNCER]

Yup. According to the army medical corp (Irish army) I'm obese.

It doesn't matter that I pass my annual fitness test (its the same one the US military uses), doesn't matter that I pass my BMI (using the calipers) but at 260lbs and at the last measurement (just before christmas) I was 17% BF I'm considered OBESE!.

The Doc told me to drop below 200lbs, lol..

A question for the big guys here. Have you ever tried to lose muscle size?

I tried explaining the difficulties of this to the doctor, but it was lost on him.

Oh yea, I also pointed out that I represent my command on the army Judo team too!.

Yup, I'm a fat bastard!.

[*Alex*]

Bunch Of Bs, If You'd Ask Me.

[RA]

Sounds like a job for t3. Do you seriously HAVE to lose it?

[MASTER]

wot a load of crap! Even if u were fat, who cares, when u can do ur job perfectly well!

[AnabolicBoy1981]

you fat bastard you.

[thegodfather]

They give you a hard time like this, yet last night when I was at a convienence store all 7 cops in my town were in there, drinking there calorie loaded coffe and shuving donuts down their faces. Now those fat slobs are the ones who should be told to lose weight. I dont think they could even chase down a parapalegic purse snatcher...

[BOUNCER]

No, I'm retiring after 21yrs service in December. But I thought it was hilarious. I tried to explain that even if I managed to lose the size, that as soon as I lift a weight again it goes up very quickly. Thankfully I'm not a hardgainer, I pack on the weight very quickly when I lift.

His reply!... "Stop lifting weights", lol.

[Teabagger]

Those height/weight/age charts are full of shit. You can be 5'10", 170 pounds of pure unadulterated goofat and be considered "fit". But try being the same height, and 220 pounds with 13% bf and you are overweight. Bunch of bs.

[biglouie250]

those standard ways to measure health are retarded.
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/...calculator.htm

according to that stupid thing im overweight (6', 210lbs). it doesnt take into account a number of variables. you can be my height and weight and be in awesome shape or a fat mess. so dumb. cant wait for insurance companies to use it......

[novicenovicen]

At least in the U S if you pass below 21% BF you don't get flagged and are still eligible for promotion. And on the Weight lifting team, these guys are huge!

[Mizfit]

what knobs

[chest6]

That site said Im obese too

[cfiler]

That's stupid.

[cfiler]

F*ck I'm fat too! I'm overweight, not obese though. 6'3" at 215 lbs.

[Panzerfaust]

I agree that the charts that tell you what you should weight based on your height are dumb as shit, they do not take into account muscle mass etc..

[*Narkissos*]

fat fvk

lmao... shhh

bouncer's a fatty... pass it on

[J.S.N.]

you fat ****ing ginger try eating a vegetable!!!

meh though i assume you already run quite a bit for the army, so i don't know how you're supposed to lose a ton of muscle.

[GQ-Bouncer]

LOL, a buddy of mine was a paratrooper & pushed wieght/juiced, he was like 230-40 lbs and they told him he was technically obese as well.

there's this guy Warrant Langtang, the dude is a chain smoker, drinks alot, and has a beer gut - and it's absolutley effortless for him to run a marathon (42 k run) - i've always been amazed at guys who look out of shape cosmetically and are actually in ridiculously good condition

[J-Dogg]

They want you to look like a "Soldier" the ideal size is 5'10 and 160lbs.

But ya, I would agree if you can do the job, pass the test who cares if your purple, fat or 10 foot tall.

[spencer]

You still look dam sexy to me

[TheMudMan]

At my height 5'7" I'm only supposed to weigh in the 150's....... I'm 195 lbs and no where near fat. This screws me up with insurance and crap like that.

F THEM

[O.M.E.G.A]

poor fatty

[firmechicano831]

Stop eating fast food for a while. jk

do you know that sakuraba smokes and drinks like every day?

[spywizard]

yep,while i was in they had the "Fat Boy" program.. but then we went and got waivers from the doc's..

the size of your wrist determined what weight class you should be in....

if you can touch your finger (ring) with your thumb, you were of medium build, gap = large build

at any rate, it only allowed for 10 additional lbs..

[BOUNCER]

Further laugh...

The Doctor recommended I go to 'weight watchers', lol..

I had the same problem with my new life insurance. They dropped my status from super prefered down all because of my weight. My blood work came back great, my ekg was perfect, but becaue I am heavier for my height, they want to charge me more. I laughed and asked if they had any clue?? I told them I am a bodybuilder, and that my bodyfat is probably lower than most, and they said that didn't matter. It is just a numbers game to them

Sucks to be this fat.....LOLOLOLOL So I say THEM !!!

[chest6]

man that really sucks. So basically insurance needs u to stop lifting eh

[stee]

Isnt Obesity a disability, you wanna look in to it, you might be able to get hand outs from the govornemt and one of those gimp badges for your car so you wont get parking tickets.

lol, thats America your thinking about.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen someone as fat as some Americans here in Europe.

But getting back to the point. I train everyday, somedays twice (When I'm training for a competition I train twice daily five days a week), as I said, I represent my command on the army Judo team and get a grade 1 in my annual fitness tests and because I carry muscle mass, I'm considered obese!.

I guess I'd get more thanks if I smoked twenty a day, drank everynight in front of the TV and weighted 180lbs soaking wet.

[stee]

That were i had heard it, it was that episode of the Simpsons When homer becomes stupidly fat so he can work ot home etc.
i knew i had heard it from somewhere.
dont let the eejits get you down. its the same bollox you get in all the services these days.
a friend of mine was was trying to get in the fire brigade and he failed the step test twice due to a rapid heart beat.
stupid thing is they said he wasnt fit enough, the guy is a footballer, plays for one of the best teams in the welsh premier league.
hes a shed load fitter than 90% of the firemen i work with

[taiboxa]

paleeeeeeeeeze.. at my height and weight 5'10.5 and 305 MY BMI is 43.8
which is 13.8% over OBEASE so i dont wanna hear it!!!

and im in the airforce.. and i always fail our anual fitness evaluation because im OBEASE so i have to go get a waver from the commander how gay is that.
