    33.5 is pretty harsh if around the waist. I am like 5-11 167 and I have like a 33 in waist.

    I understand
    HOWEVER
    generally speak there is normally a legit reason to curb someone's rights/privileges/etc

    This one Health reasons . . again a good reason

    At some point . . .Good Reasons is not enough
    i.e. GPre-Emptively locking up habitual criminals
    suspects etc

    Fat Police. . . they chase the fatty . . not to catch them . . but simply to get them to exercise :D

    FAT BOY FAT BOY . .WHACHA GONNA DO
    WHACHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU!!

    You can poke fun....course if someone thinks you or your significant other are ugly and happens to tell you so, I assume you will take it with a warm smile and good cheer.

    Someone goes to the gym every day, is improving themselves and I applaud them. Ditto with someone who studiously avoids fatty foods.

    But the same can be said for someone who skips the gym to read classic literature, or studies plane geometry, or geology or whatever.

    I'd put the amount of time and effort I have put in improving myself up against any weekend warrior athlete or fitness trainer. It just happens that the path I have chosen doesn't get you respect in the locker room at the gym.

    Let me know when they stop people in the streets and make em take an IQ test.

    Yeah! You tell 'em. Personal choices (even if we can't empirically prove whether or not people have control over them) are totally fair game. I for one can't wait for more f*****, kyke and rag head jokes.

    OK, since people are profiling based on our answers. I just measured my waist and no, I wouldn't quite make it in Japan, but I just barely missed the cutoff. (They want 35.4 inches for women - I'm right at 36 - darn, thought I was smaller, oh well.) But I am also 5'11" - taller than almost all American women, let alone Japanese women which will run smaller. So, call me whatever you want, I wasn't planning on going out with any of you guys anyway. :) You're also all welcome to post your own waist measurements here.

    I am honestly very surprised that we are actually having a calm and civilized discussion on this news. If it was China which does things like this, we would see all the yelling, screaming and b****ing from the regular poo-fighting participants in the D&D and the thread will head for that forum in no time (Where is SamFisher lately?). Anyway, what kind of democratic government is one which tries to regulate even the waistlines of its citizens?

    Pssst...you know these pictures we keep posting on here of great looking girls with breasts and butts.

    A breast and a butt is fat. Modest amounts of well proportioned fat to be sure...but fat none the less

    So if you want a woman without even "a touch" of chubbiness. You probably are attracted to slim boys.

    Er...not that there is anything wrong with it.

    31 waist.

    I think I'm gonna treat myself to some chocolate cake.

    See cake should be a reward & not a snack between cheeseburgers.

    It's a pretty douche-y thing to say, but the man has a right to his opinion. Doesn't offend me.

    Yes, many people are born with genetics that predispose you to being overweight, I'm one of them. I've seen way too many of my family members die way too young because they were overweight to let that happen to me. Even if you're genetically predisposed to obesity, it doesn't mean there isn't anything you can do. I work out 5-6 times a week, and for the most part stay away from fatty foods because my family is important to me and I don't want them to have to live without a husband and father. Genetics will predispose you, but laziness will kill you.

    Hey I am proud of you. That is very cool.

    I have no interest in going to the gym 4 times a week much less six. I like veggies well enough, but mostly as a suppliment to my fatty red meat. No amount of societal pressure is gonna make me change my mind about that, for me (and me only). I am happy for those who do, especially since some of them seem to actually enjoy their workouts.

    Don't emulate me, don't follow my bad example. But for the love of Pete don't insult me on the street or roll your eyes at me. I think thats all most heavy people would ask of you

    It really has nothing to do with the gym. I could sit around reading books every single day and still not get fat as long as I ate a proper diet! Diet is more important than training when it comes to avoiding excess bodyfat.

    Hopefully he just embarrasses himself and the women here won't let that reflect on the rest of the board.

    Fatty foods aren't really what make you fat. It is excess simple carbs and Sugar!!!!!! People in the USA eat too much sugar and too many simple carbs like white bread, etc!!!!!
