[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to other states. I think in the DMV people are much more fit than the rest of the country. I don't want to pick on the midwest or south, but nearly everyone is obese. And obese is just 30lbs more than your ideal weight. [/quote]

Yes, I think people sometimes have this idea of what obese looks like, but someone who is 5’7” and obese at 195 is not going to look that huge, really (especially if your mental image is 300+).[/quote]

I’m 5’8” and 198-201 pounds. I am obese, if just barely. I am a size 12-14 and I dress in a way that flatters my shape or at least doesn’t call attention to my size. I am fit - I’ll run the Cherry Blossom 10M in a few weeks in 90-95 minutes.  I don’t have a “fat face”. When I am standing up straight, I don’t have any rolls or folds in my skin. My spouse and children are slim which I think helps people not think of us as a “fat family”. I have always had a larger body and frame. When I weight 180 - 17 pounds overweight on the BMI chart - I wear a size 10-12 clothing and get a lot of compliments. When I weigh 165, still technically 2 pounds overweight, I am still a size 10, but people ask my husband about my health behind my back or ask me about my job
stress to my face. [/quote]
