Why the curiosity? Ever see the movie "Super Size Me?" Most people have. Although it's important to maintain health and be concerned about overweight problems, which incidentally, are responsible for so many other diseases: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, joint problems and etc., we have to be concerned about the emotional problems as well.
Superficial comments about people's weight can really be damaging to their self-esteem. It has been proven that society has yet another prejudice to overcome because the 'wonderful media' has promoted what they believe to be 'beautiful people.' It's not until many youngsters get older that they understand many of the glamor shots in magazines are mostly dubbed. Not only are models photographed with special lighting, but different lips, butts, breasts, legs and more can be made interchangeable with today's computer graphic technology.
Nothing breaks my heart worse than to see a young person think he or she is fat, ugly or stupid.
Careful with these fat questions. We will all get by with a little help from our friends. Be kind to one another.

Yes, about 147 pounds right now. Actually, technically I am not "overweight" but I am in the cautionary zone towards being overweight. I am trying to lose 20 pounds to be clearly in the healthy weight zone... so 3 down, 17 to go!

Yes, I am overweight. I stand 5' 10", and weigh about 280. I need to lose about 50 pounds. If I did that, girls would ask me out all the time, and my blood pressure would be closer to normal (I have hypertension).

I too just had a baby, but I'm not using that as an excuse. What can I say, I like the food and the food likes me.
