    When did we get a 51st state?

    Come on Georgia! We are the 18th unhealthiest... lets fix that!

    It's too bad charts like this don't incite some competition - somebody needs to give Colorado a challenger!

    Even the best state, Colorado, has an obesity percentage of 21.4. That's alarming. My state, Washington, is No. 28.

    Well Wisconsin is right in the middle at 25. I did get fat after I moved here, but only because I stopped moving.

    To be fair, with a large percentage of the leanest states, you can't afford to live there AND eat. :wink:

    And Rhode Island is so small, only skinny people will fit there.

    Washington is 28. This surprises me with all our natural hiking trails, lake access, and centennial trail. We should be lower.

    I must say... the order isn't too shocking to me. But... the % obese and/or overweight is a bit higher than I thought across the board!

    I was interested to see how Australia fares:

    Number of overweight adults:
    QLD - 1,259,700 (48.4 per cent of population)
    NSW - 2,226,500 (45.9 per cent)
    VIC - 1,634,200 (45.9 per cent)
    WA - 619,700 (45.3 per cent)
    TAS - 155,700 (45.2 per cent)
    SA - 504,200 (44.8 per cent)

    People who say they don't exercise
    NSW: 32.9 per cent
    QLD: 31.4 per cent
    SA: 31.1 per cent
    TAS: 30.9 per cent
    WA: 27.7 per cent
    VIC: 27.6 per cent

    People who have attempted to lose weight over the past two years
    SA: 60 per cent
    VIC: 53 per cent
    QLD: 51 per cent
    NSW: 50 per cent
    WA: 48 per cent
    TAS: 40 per cent

    I was born and raised (28yrs) in Indiana and I see it has moved up on the list of fattest states :noway:


    But now that I am a Nevada resident it seems that NV has moved down to #39 woot!! it's because you sweat your *kitten* all the damn time :bigsmile:
