    what is it with your and your transsexuality?!

    Don't you just love the internet? Arguing with a "not by choice" transsexual about obese people.

    WOO!!! :)

    I love this kind of reaction - no doubt someone will go on to say what an attention whore I am for daring make reference to it, than I'm constantly looking for sympathy, etc., which is pure ****. Did you even bother to read the context it was in? It was a perfectly valid example. As a person who happens to have things going on in their life(which I should hope is the case for everyone), I used an example I Knew a lot about.

    I really, really despise the way I can't even mention something like that without being called an attention whore. Yes, I do bring it up a lot, but only because it's dominating my life right now and thus is the easiest comparison for me to draw in many situations. Not to mention I'm not the one who even brought it up in this argument(s).
    Rozie you are totally misinterpreting what I'm saying.

    Although the bit where you say "you're the exact kind that would say transsexuality is a choice too, ignoring just about every point of research that says otherwise" makes me realise you are insane, so this conversation is over as far as I'm concerned!

    Why does it make me insane, exactly? It was a perfectly valid example.

    I'm 11.2 stone now at 6"1, I've broad shoulders but I'm continuing to try to get my body fat under 10%. I'd consider my current weight healthy, and my previous weight unhealthy(for me).

    And of course, like the good little person you are, you presume it's the same for everyone else as it is for you.
    No, everyone is different and I respect that. BUT, at 6"1 if someone's bodyfat level were over 25%, then I'd class them as obese. I don't go by weight, I go by bodyfat.

    If they can't stop themselves eating crap foods which are proven to be bad for them, then yes, they are weak.

    I don't respect people who have no control over themselves.Sorry :rolleyes:

    So tell me, do you equate being obese with having "NO control over one's self?"

    It doesn't make sense to me. There are an infinite number of facets in each individual's life. Weight is only one of them but it is so important to you that it overshadows all else? You cannot respect a person who is fat?

    Please tell me I'm reading this wrong?

    Stupid comment I think I'll CHOOSE to ignore it.

    How is it a stupid comment? Or is a valid comment that you're ignoring because you know I have a damn good point you can't counter?
    No, everyone is different and I respect that. BUT, at 6"1 if someone's bodyfat level were over 25%, then I'd class them as obese. I don't go by weight, I go by bodyfat.

    25% is a relatively low number(To class someone as obese)... it depends where that fat gets put.
    If they can't stop themselves eating crap foods which are proven to be bad for them, then yes, they are weak.

    Only because you say so. You have no idea what it's like to see or feel things from their point of view.

    Regardless, this isn't going anywhere. It's best to keep it to the "Big Girls" topic.

    Em, sorry, if 25%+ of your body is fat you are not healthy. Look it up, I didn't make that figure up.

    Hhhmm I dunno about 25% BF being obese.

    I'm 6 1"in height, broad build, 15 stone and my body fat is close to 25%, however I wouldn't consider myself obese, ran the Paris marathon in April and would consider myself reasonably fit and healthy.

    Somebody please tell me I'm not obese, the lads at football will crack up if it turns out I am!!!!!

    Am I fooling myself??

    the like of these tests and the BMI are no good if you do any weight training what so ever if you want a accurate count consult your GP

    or your gym, they'll do measurements for you.
    Actually, I think there's an instrument you can buy to do it yourself.

    Thanks Sarge, but I checked out my Bfat at the gym yesterday and it is in the 23-25% range. I'm actually quite worried about it now.

    Consult the fitness forum, they'll most likely give some great suggestions as to how do drop it.

    I honestly hope, since you're obviously extremely fit, that you're taking the piss and not generally being made paranoid by scary statistics :P

    oh no....here we go :rolleyes:

    Other than that, best of luck rubberduckey, one of the great effects(sine you like running marathons) of getting your BF level down is that you'll become leaner (more aerodynamic as there's less wind resistance) so with your current fitness level you'd most likely improve on your marathon times.

    God it's badly gone off topic.
    Isn't Simu the greatest? :D
