If they did'nt leave out weight trainers in those statistics they will be slightly off. You see according to the US Government charts I am listed as "obese" simply because I am 6' tall and 205 lbs. But they don't take into account my 32" waist....idiots. So I don't believe it could be two thirds.....................yet!
I'll be back gotta,get on another stupid horse.
I would be a some what smaller version of Man - and would be similarily listed.
But lately I have looked around at the fine folks here in States, male and female, and very few are in decent shape. Most are not grossly obease, just out of shape and paunchy. This is true even in my health club. Many of the old farts and broads in the club (over 70) are in better shape than their youngers.
Do you really think that it is two thirds of the population, though? That's men women and children. I guess I'll have to read the article and see who did the surveys but if they are going by the same Medical Association guidelines I saw, then they can't be right.
WeirdToad- I am not looking for a fat, obese woman from the U.S. I am looking for a skinny Russian woman. This topic is irrelevant. Think of a better one. :o)
I don't think that the topic is too irrelevant...there are a lot of fat or overweight women here too. Especially after one gets married and gives birth to a child, about 15-10 years ago and earlier, women were thought to get fat after giving birth to a child or children, as there was no other opportunity (it's a "curse" of every woman they would say), only in the recent years women started taking care about themselves, not only in the youth but also after getting married and having a baby or 2:)
At the swimming-pool where I go t okeep fit, I see many really fat women trying to lose weight...and they do behave like sex-bombs, standing in such way, wearing clothes and lingerie...it's so funny:))
Yes Ptichka- We have the fat women here also in the tiny bathing suits. They think I am looking at them because they are sexy, when really I'm just seeing how high the water level raised when they jumped in.
:))) No way:))) Here they don't jump...they even swim a little bit, and after leaving the swimming-pool they go to have a snack somewhere, pancakes or something like that:))) That's funny too:)
:))))) Not all day long, usually they swim for about 30-45 minutes, it's a standard ticket for swimming for 1 hour, and usually people take that ticket, it costs 5 grivnas about 1 $:) But it's not that cheap as it may seam. And I just don't understand why after swimming and spending money they spoil everything they did. And also I don't understand how after 30-45 minutes of swimming one is hungry...:)))
That maybe because the ideal weight for a 6' man is 175. Thats according to the health statistics I have read. Guess they dont consider men that pump weights for a living. Most men 6' and 215 are fat asses. Fat slobs are everywhere I look, its disgusting and all I ever seem to see them doing is stuffing their overweight fat mouths. (can you tell I have no regard for people that don't take care of themselves)
Then the funnisest thing is they want to blame everyone but themselves for rammimg food down their fat throats 24/7
That's exactly right guys the charts dont take into account the whole picture. My niece does those Miss Fittness competitions, I think she won Oregon and one in Washington, says those health charts are a bit of joke amongst the trainers.
Oh I'm so fond of the French (guess that's correct) system of finding out is your weight and height are good for you:) Meaning do yo overweight or not. But it's of course not for sportsmen and for those who do sports professinaly, but for usual people:)
And I never was a good friend of statistic, I never pay much attention to it, actually never was good in numbers:)
