    It's a relative term.

    Exactly...the standards will vary.

    Five Levels of Fatness. Reason why I say "Used to say" is because now there are six! Uh-huh, I met the new one in Las Cruces. The original five levels are Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and DAMN! People ask, "What could be bigger than DAMN!" The new level's called "OH HELL NO!" What's the difference? You're still willing to work with level five.--Gabriel Iglesias

    For males 16% and above. Fat boy status. Chicks, it depends on where the fat goes :wink:

    It depends.....When I played football in H.S. I weighed 225 at 5'10" and was not fat. Ten years later same height and weight, I was fat. Pant and shirt size was larger than when I was younger but still same weight. Difference is, the body fat percentage.

    I think that for someone to be fat they have to be obese.
    My BMI is around 30.2 and it is smaller than it was, but it is still obese.
    I have felt like I am fat for a while, but I don't judge other people for how they look, weight or height wise.

    When I started feeling "fat", I was at about 35% BF. I am an hourglass. I think that other shapes can look "fat" as early as 30% if the excess is mostly situated on the stomach and upper arms. Totally subjective though.

    3 second rule, if I slap your *kitten* and it doesn't stop shaking after 3 seconds then you're fat.

    For me it's things like: double chin,... gut overhang, ... muffin tops, ... bingo wings, ... man boobs, ... visible back-fat

    if you jiggle, youre fat.

    Harsh! :laugh:
    Chicks, it depends on where the fat goes :wink:

    Better. :drinker:

    ETA probably a preference thing. I think "overweight" and "fat" are different. And I like "bulky" men.
