Warning! Obesity Picture

BenKnowsFitness

I don’t expect to be obese much longer so I am posting this last pic before I cross over into the overweight category.:bigsmile:

BTW I think BMI/Obesity standards are a ridiculous.

I agree! You're doing a wonderful job so far. Keep it up!

OMG I literally just spit water all over my computer screen!! MFP is the last place I would expect to have an orb debate.

you're clearly not obese. if you are working out and have a lot of muscle mass the BMI charts are not applicable. most athletes show as obese on that chart. it's only good for people who have no muscles. lol

lol...the only thing fat here is the big fat lie of a title "obesity picture"...good job!

NotGoddess

You've got something on your nose, by the way. .. Did you know? Just there...

You look great! good job.

Now someone message me and explain the whole orb thing. I feel I'm missing out on some geek secret and I must know.

Thanks, I don't feel it, and I don't think I look it ,but sadly I am classified by the US Gov as an Obese person. BMI >30

Most times I agree with the bmi definitions, even when I see photos... But in your case... No way are you obese! Where are you hiding all your weight?

corymomma

All the weight must be in his nose and toes hidden by the Orb! Now I must go pick myself off the floor before I roll under the bed laughing...

LoveMy3Boys

So you are considered obese? That's crazy. You look fit, not even overweight.

This is what I'm waiting for...

I think the BMI scales are miles off too - they are very outdated though, so don't sweat it too much!

It should be;

"You've got dirt on your nose, by the way. .. Did you know? Just there..."

Maybe that's why (obviously not *real* Potter fans then!)! :laugh:

Orbs, BTW, are dust motes which show up on photographs when the camera uses a flash. Some people who are into paranormal things claim they are spirits...or something, but really they are just bits of dust (and sometimes moisture) captured by the flash, particularly if it's not a very powerful flash.

I only believe that if, when you turn to the front, you're 6ft wide.

Is there ANYthing you don't know, Hermione?

congratulations on your progress! I certainly do agree with the standards of obesity being ridiculous. I was only 8# away from being 'obese' - wearing a size 10/12 jeans.

I *did* score 98% in JKR's Potter quiz over at The Leaky Cauldron (there were a gazillion questions!)!

Agreed; you're looking great, Ben!

Congrats on your transition into the overweight category. We share a very similar body type so I feel your pain on the BMI. The worst aspect is that we would be denied health insurance just for having a BMI over 30. Transitioning to "overweight" will at least make us eligible again...with higher premiums.

Using 'dirt' would have been too obviously a quote- I'm glad people caught the reference

Thanks for explaining the orbs. I'd heard of that phenomenon but wasn't making the connection.

Cait_Sidhe

That must be a really heavy hexagon attached to your face cause you don't look obese at all!
