[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, you can be healthy and overweight. You can also be an ideal weight an unhealthy. Friend's husband who was a normal weight just diet from a heart attach while out for a run. People just love to judge fat people because they can see that they are fat vs the unhealthy thin people who appear fine on the outside.

Now I will say that one are that is proven to suffer from excess weight are the joints. Carrying too much extra weight is not good for your joints and gets worse as you age. [/quote]

I think even the joint thing is dependent on your build.

I have a slight build -- narrow hips and shoulders and smaller bones. Same for my mom. Excess weight is hell on our joints. In my mom's case it has led to a spiral where if she gains weight she also exercises less because it's uncomfortable and then she gains more. We are average height but just very light and narrow skeletal frame.

But I have a friend who is 5'9" and very solidly built. She has to gain quite a bit of weight for it to impact her joints at all. She's also just more muscular then I am by nature especially in her upper body and I this results in a better balance of muscle to fat even when she gains. Whereas for me I need to be pretty lean to maintain a good muscle to fat ratio.[/quote]
