is it true that you are overweight if you can pinch an inch of fat? Does it have to do with if you are sitting down? when im sitting down i can pinch an inch, and when standing up next to nothing. and im definitley not fat.

"Pinch an inch" means the thickness of the skin you pinch. If you can, you are over weight. Standing up is best because your body scrunches when you sit.

Well, if you think you are not fat, then you are not fat.
'Pinch an inch' was a slogan, or an ad campaign for Special K in the 80's.

It all depends on who is pinching it.
