    5ft 7 is what you're using for small? Sure the average height of men is something like 5ft 8" or 5ft 9" !!

    Heh, "men"!

    Sure it is..

    I will now share with you, and indeed the entire internet the closely guarded and ancient secret to loosing weight.

    1.)Stop eating bad food.
    2.)Get off your fat ass and exercise.
    3.)Learn that the above two wont be as part of a diet or seasonal detox, They are your default state of being for the rest of your life.

    See,
    Easy.

    Or rough it out in a concentration camp for a while.

    Let's ignore the metabolism here, for it plays no part in losing weight. :rolleyes:

    ^ What Wazdakka says...


    Edit: Not what SV says, as I'm of the opinion low metabolism levels is for people with low levels of activity.
    Remember, you never see an athletic person with a slow metabolism!

    What in TODAY'S society, is starving yourself the only way to become thin?

    No no no, he meant camps where you go to concentrate on things. Scienticians have proven that excessive thinking leads to weight loss.

    OK!! I'll just to go North Korea and ask politely if I can be a prisoner in one of their consentration camps for a year or two.

    No it doesn't and what the hell is "scientician", don't you mean "scientist" or dietician?

    Not at all, when I was training for rowing, 8 times a week I still had an extremely slow metabolism.
    Can't be changed for me, tried everything!

    but it's irrelevant, it was still possible to lose weight but it's not easy.

    Well eating healthy and exercising often would be my preferred choice.

    But then again, I firmly believe that if you are overweight, then you choose to be.
    If you have decided that you want to loose weight and haven't done it yet, your just lazy in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'd take tall and overweight over small.

    Assuming overweight as a irreducible condition for the sake of the poll. Take note, nitpickers.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    Well I'm both fat and small :D

    But if I had to choose one, I'd like to be small.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 208 ✭✭AttackThePoster


    I'm only going by Eric Cartman's advice.

    FAt because exercise works


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    I'm short (5'06") and skinny (well ~average weight) and I'd rather stay that way.

    I'd hate to be fat and tall simply because I would be too lazy to lose weight. I also see some weird appeal in being short.

    It reads five prime six double prime to me and that's what matters.

    I'm glad I'm 5'7". Which isn't that small tbh. Some people seem to think thats tiny for a man. Maybe because they hear about 'Tiny' 5'7" Tom Cruise and the jokes about him standing on a box in scenes. The thing is though, its much smaller than average in the US but its not much smaller than average over here. And Hollywood doesn't represent average America either where the average male actor is taller and better built than the average american and where a lot of the leading ladies got where they were because the were decent looking and statuesque. All that exagerates the size differential and makes Tom Cruise' 5'7" seem smaller than it is.

    I consider myself smaller than average but not 'Small' per se. If I were 5'2" I'd consider myself small alright.

    And anyway, whether I could lose the weight or not I would not want to be 6ft+
    Whens the last 6ft+ 70 year old pensioner you saw? Theres not many about is there :D Poor feckers rarely make it past their early 70's.
