Like Dwayne Johnson used to and covered them up with his black vest? No. But I'm starting to get a little side titty action going. I'm about 5 Chipotle burritos away from Natalie Portman's cup size.

So you have a negative cup size?

Wait, I wear a 34" waist too, does that mean I should be worried?

Mind you, I'm 6ft 2" so that kinda balances things out. So no, op, you're not fat. Unless you're really short.

I'm 6'1", I weigh 240lbs.

I am fat.

Don't be cruel GAF.

Actually, being fat means having more ass draped over the sides of the toilet seat, than are actually on it.

Or if a girl sits on your face and you can't hear anything anymore, she's fat.

I would say no. You're not sucking in your gut in that pic, right?

Nah, not sucking in a gut. But you can tell by the fat under my chin.

I have body image issues. I suppose this is due to the fact that I live in a gay part of town and my next door neighbors look like David Beckham clones.

if that's so you are definitely lacking self-esteem. you aren't fat just because you don't have such a well defined body.

Actually, my self esteem is pretty good. I get a decent amount of female attention for a fat guy.

i think its because women think that I know where the food is hiding.

Ha.

or, on Z-Day, I'm going to be able to give the zombies a 30 second distraction.

See? I'm jolly abot it. Like a big, fat fuck.

I haven't fit in a 34 for 3 years now. I've been a solid 36 for quite awhile. I'm 5'11 and have been holding steady around 207-213 for quite awhile. Turning 30 (and getting married) did a number on my metabolism.

My family is calling me fat but I'm just glad I've managed to finally gain some weight, even if it's due to hamburgers & pizza. I used to look some of those starved third world children when I was a kid :( I still would if it wasn't for fast food :p Unfortunately, all of that pizza dough is now sitting comfortably around my stomach. Feels kinda good but it looks weird as hell when I'm just as thin everywhere else :lol I do have a quite healthy BMI apparently though. It's just extremely unevenly distributed!

What I'm saying is that I don't think I can see my penis anymore :'( I hate this thread!

It's inevitable, TA.

I'll be 30 in May and my metabolism hit the shitter around 26. I still work-out (semi) regularly and it's not enough anymore. If I were doing the same work-outs 4yrs ago that I'm doing now, there's no way I'd be 180 lbs. I'd be around my "correct" weight of 165 lbs.

I'm 31 and in the past eight months ramped up my workouts by a huge margin. Run roughly 20 miles a week, lift hard for an hour five times a week, still play tennis two or three times a week, surf whenever it's worth paddling out for.

I have to eat like a horse now. It's hard to do mentally because I had conditioned myself to not eat as much because my metabolism had slowed down as I aged but I didn't ramp up the workouts. If I don't eat constantly now I'm dead tired.

BMI is garbage, but I'm sure everyone knows that by now.

I'm 6'0", around 190lbs. Roughly 12% body fat. That means at 0% body fat (aka dead) I'm right in the middle of the "healthy weight" band for BMI.

Yeah, I just need to exercise more. What I'm doing now is no longer enough to just stay at 165 lbs.

I'm FL too. So I'm just waiting for it to warm up enough to run in the mornings.

For real though, if you're not comfortable taking your shirt off around others, you fat.

Actually I remember hearing something about losing weight reveals more shaft.

I guess more cushion, just means you have to push harder?
 
HamPster PamPster said:
HA! Still a box and a half away from obese!

::cries and drinks a bottle of soda::

I'm at least a box away from being overweight, wtf?

I've given up on soda, it's pretty easy after a few weeks and now I basically just drink water and green tea. I've never felt this good!
 
I think I read you're fat when your height is double your waist. I just fit the mark. I'm in a 34-36 range and I'm 6 feet tall. Weigh 205...should weigh 165...I wouldn't consider myself fat but if I hit 38 waist pants...then yeah I would be.

I'm still having a problem seeing you as 'fat' with those figures. I reckon you're going through a similar thing to me by the sound of it (I turn 30 in May). I don't have the washboard abs that my 25 year old self rocked but I'm still in pretty good shape all around. The fast change (my metabolism just seemed to stop a couple of years back) freaked me out at first though and I thought I was going to balloon up like Violet Beauregarde.

Some people just have chubby faces/chins, even if they aren't fat.

I have the same body type as you and am about 205, but still have a chubby face/chin. Just do some cardio routines / running and get in the habit of it. Also, eat reasonably healthy and drink only water. It helped me out a lot.

Sounds like a laundry list but its just running and eating healthy.

Also, you're not fat.

Freestyler said:
When you can't see any ribs in the mirror (just subtly).

< 1985 called...they want their definition back. Now-a-days, if you're not obese then you're not fat.

The "Fat Boys" rap group of the 80's would be considered a little plump by today's standards. They were fatter than average, and the average was semi-healthy.

I totally agree with you, freestyler, but society doesn't. Standards have lowered and they don't want to be reminded of the day when the standards weren't as embarrassing. In 2010 America, fat = obese. If trends continue by 2020, fat = morbidly obese.

So, to answer the OP's question, fat is looking more unhealthy weighty than the average of the time.

20% body fat and above

I agree. Hell depending on some people it can be less. :lol

Posted some new pics in the weight loss thread and some people have told me that I didnt look fat to begin with, Hell thats not how I felt.

I guess you are as fat as you feel?? :lol

The only downside of working-out is the when you stop , all that muscle turns into fat.

I turn 30 in my May too, btw.

OP sit on the floor, and try to get up without touching the floor with your hands, if you can't, then you are fat.

Everybody should try this. :D

I don't know why, but I started laughing after checking the legend to see what the red area means.
