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!

The point is that just because someone posts on a losing weight thread, that doesn't mean they're fat. You seem to be assuming that every MNer who posts on a weight thread is obese, when that's not the case.

I see all MNers as perfectly formed . Anyway compared to the mums in our school playground you are all skinny.

i am fat and yes it because i sit on my arse and eat a lot...

Im fat and i dont care so why should you?

I think that applies to most of our society, not exclusively MN.

I'm carrying 4 babies worth of baby weight too.

What do you mean? I'm meant to shed it inbetween babies? I was going to save the hassle and do it in one go when I'm done spawning.

I don't believe anyone who is fat and says they don't care. I do care but need a kick up the a* to motivate myself to do something about it. However, there is absolutely no point to this thread starlight - just a survery out of interest. Are you obese yourself?

I'm not but I couldn't care less what someone else weighs.
It doesn't change my opinion of someone.
I'm on here because I find it a fantastic site full of wit, laughter, support and advice, not to see how many pies someone ate

Not the case here. BMI of 21 last time it was checked. Spend quite a bit of time on my PC, but eat downstairs. Not good at multi tasking!

Still seems to me the fattys are all on the defensive (and a bit aggressive) and the skinnys a bit smug (who knows their BMI for example)

IM MORBIDLY OBESE. I DONT SIT ON MY ARSE ALL DAY or eat all day strangely enough!! Agree with other pasters....WHY SHOULD IT MATTER?????

Im slightly over weight but nothing to write home about. I dont see what being overweight has to do with MNers.

If your overweight Anotherfatty thats fine but please dont try to drag our self esteem down with yours, If your happy sitting in from of a computer all day stuffing your face then good for you. I take it you dont get your 5 a day!!

Oh give the OP a break ...

she's just interested in what kind of people she's sat around chatting to... maybe ?

i know my BMI but does it really have anything to do with you?? Is my fattness affecting your life????

I'M GOING TO THE GYM TONIGHT

unfortunately it's the only way i can get a break from baby / housework, but i still feel RIGHTEOUS!

just like to say you can be over weight and be healthy and skinny and un healthy to.it all depends on your life style,im in the obiese catergary,although im doing something about it as personally im not happy wth the way i am.im at weight watchers which is great in 10 weeks ive lost 22lbs, ive got another 3 stones(46lbs to go) xx

Well done sazb thats fantastic, maybe I should join weightwatchers but have always asumed it's full of glamourous women wanting to be size zero.

I know my BMI because it is checked when I have a pill check. I am not smug - wouldn't say I was thin, but sitting at the PC isn't making me fat! Not sure of the point of this thread.

anotherfatty thanx hunni,no its not all glammor pusses, tbh there all great at my meeting really surportive,as all there for the same thing u know,u can do it on line to.
id recomend it to anyone who wants to lose weight xx

you said you would like a kick up the arse...........

unfortunately my chubsters legs can't reach from here but if you're on your way over for that kick, bring chips

nothing more pressing to wonder about - must be a stress free life - lucky you

Bonkerz, just looked at your pics, you are beautiful and so are your children.

How does knowing whether I am overweight or not give the OP any idea of what kind of person I am, amner?

It's the things I do and say which tell you what kind of person I am, not what the label in the back of my elasticated waist trousers jeans says.
