They say AMERICANS are FATTER than EUROPEAN and ASIANS. Think this is TRUE? Studies are saying that CHILDREN and TEENAGERS are SO OVERWEIGHT because of FAST FOOD like MCDONALDS and BURGER KING. Plus CHOLESTEROL is so HIGH from all the OIL and FAT and GREASE. So now, do you think this is TRUE of AMERICANS over DIFFERENT CULTURES?

I would have to say YES to THAT QUESTION. I could stand to LOSE some of my LOVELY LADY LUMPS.

only if u are this man

even though i rarely if ever eat fast food (though i'm weak to mickey d's french fries just like everyone else, i'll admit it!), i find it's really hard to keep my weight where i want it. i think it's my metabolism as much as my diet, though. i definitely am what i eat. i gain and drop weight very quickly.

that's me.

i could lose 20-30 pounds. as soon as i get my own place and settled in the city, i am gonna find a gym near it.

the great thing is it falls off me quickly

if i were a fat cell on your body i'd want to jump ship ASAP too!

Anxiety said:

your hair follicles already jumped ship... and then your back imprisoned them

cborgman said:

you're just jealous because i have mammalian characteristics, gill boy.

Anxiety said:

...i got nothing

I don't. I seem to stay at this weight no matter what (excepting pregnancy and such). Since I was 18.

yup

no.

No. I'm typically around 4 or 5 kgs under my goal weight, but currently due to sickness am around 8 kgs under what I'd like to be.

Anxiety said:

i could stand to lose some weight. i eat NOTHING that's bad for me, but i just eat too much of the good stuff!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

same here. and i eat a little of the bad stuff. i'm the worst at work, when the vending machine lady lets me buy snacks. oh lord.

Anxiety said:

you look fab - don't change a thing!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

awww, shucks. thank ya darlin'.

i've never seen a pic of you, but if you're like your posts, you're quite glamouroose yourself.

Anxiety said:

rest assured that i'm not.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

It's weird that nobody remembers that Nader pic. He had a very classy lady next to him.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

as pats said about "meg ryan: superstar", I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT!

retina said:

guess i should have been on the Bush campaign...

(banish the thought )

... but i do recall being compared to Janet Reno in that pic... i took that as a compliment - i'm sure others wouldn't have...

Anxiety said:

I gained more than I thought when I quit smoking, but I have always been underweight, so while people say I look healthy, it still is difficult for me to get used to having 30 pounds more. I just want to turn it into muscle now. I don't want it turning to flab, or to get too unhealthy...

Yes I do. I was doing so well too. My goal is to get back to being 180 pounds.

Wish me luck.

i want to lose weight...mainly coz i wanna look good in clothes, like hot pants, bikini. the good thing about my body is that the fat is properly distributed, so that in proportions i'm good, except the hands... but i know i could be better if lost some weight, i've never had this much fat before...so i'm thinking if a lose a few..then i'd go out dancing mor often. i want that lean flat tummmy tucked look back...

yea, i also gained since i quit smoking

Can I just say CONGRATS to everyone on this thread who quit smoking??!!!

I could stand to lose 5-10 lbs. I look slimmer than I really am b/c my legs are skinny - fucking apple shape I'd give anything to be a pear!!

I'm eating better than I ever have in my life, working out consistently for about 5 months now. I'm noticing some change, feel stronger, still wanna tighten some stuff up though.

It's an epidemic in America & it's spreading around the world thanks to McDonalds & other shitty restaurants going global. Our kids literally don't know how to eat. I blame the parents. It's like every meal is supposed to be the "best", greasiest, cheesiest meal. No concept of fast food being bad for you. People just eat it & keep going. No thinking involved. It's weird... I know b/c I used to eat fast food w/o thinking myself

yea! i never met a fit person in McDonalds.

Not sure if you're being funny or what I'm talking about those who eat it to excess, several times a week... the only fit people you'll see in there are either young, eating it sparingly, or have such a high metabolism that they're just lucky.

I should be eating McDonalds as it'd give me the necessary fuel to work out, but it gets very boring, not to mention a little disgusting, eating it too often.

yes, I need to lose at least 10 pounds....
