In thinking that a disproportionate number of MNers are overweight/obese?

[anotherfatty]

...according to recent threads and that this is probably because we spend too much time in front of a computer stuffing our faces and not enough time getting off our fat backsides and exercising!

speak for yourself.

yep speak for yourself.

I'm not overweight or obese, the opposite in fact, could do with puting on a few pounds...

I'm not. I have stretch marks though, which I hate.

Not me. BMI of 24 here.
Not projecting at all are we, fatty?

Erm,possibly yes.

im not either

who cares?? i mean really, why does it matter??

i can think of worse things to be

Defo projecting, but of course only skinny minis are going to repond aren't they?

Or it could just be that a lot of us worry about our weight, as a lot of women do. I am not overweight as such but would like to lose 10lb or so of baby weight (ha ha dd is 20months old!)

well i used to be obese

but i dont think either have affected my posting

Agree - who cares????

And this matters to you because ...?

And no, not only skinny minnies are going to respond. I'm fat. But why should anyone else give a shit?

Oh, and not only 'skinny minnies' responding - I am definately obese

im not sure anyone could actually tell

Oh, there's lots of mners think they're fat when they're not. Bit upsetting that sometimes (speaking as a former anorexic)

I'm within the normal weight range for my height. I'd like to be a bit thinner though as I'm bigger than I'm used to.
But you couldn't class me as overweight, let alone obese.

Message withdrawn

I'm fat because I overeat and don't exercise enough. It doesn't bother me that others are fat but it still interests me.

Also BMI of 24. I could do with losing a few pounds granted, but since my job also requires me to be in front of my computer 10hours/day stuffingmyface it's hard to tell what to blame...

I don't know where you get that idea from! I would like to lose a bit of weight, but I am within the normal weight range for my height.

maybe that is because a disproportionate amount of the general public are overwieght/obese?

also i dont spend most of my time sat in front of a pc stuffing my face as no food is allowed near my pc

i stuff my face in front of the tv intsead
