I'm 250lbs I'm no body builder by no means.....but does that still concider be "fat"? Health to me always has and always will be more feeling good , than looking good. Yea at 200lbs I was "skinny" but miserable, at this weight I feel good, have engery and feel strong! So why sould I eat meat and letice just to be "thin" I'm big and proud of it........we all are all the same no matter the shape we are in, beneath everything we are composed of the same muscles, oragans and tissues as everyone else. Everyone is a catipiller waiting to be a butterfly, this is why I concider no one fat or skinny.......if your just starting working out and dieting, and trying to be healthy, your a catipiller getting ready for the change.....so give it time no matter your goals you'll get there I promise!:):dumbbell: -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

One example was a park ranger that weighed 250 for his height he was over weight but yet he hiked 20 + miles per day with a 30 pound pack on his back. I would say by no means was he over weight!! -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
