That's exactly it. Americans are so fat as a populace they think being 209 lbs at average height is being in great shape, because it probably is in relative terms, but not objectively.

I'm not talking shit against anyone here or Americans in general, it's just a statement of fact.

Are those figures for males only or do they include women? :o :ph34r:

Anyway, it should be noted that Micronesia, Tonga and Samoa all have a largely Pacific Islander population which is genetically predisposed for obesity. And their population size is tiny anyway. So the United States basically rank first among relevant countries.

I gotta say though, the average Brit or German isnt exactly slender either. :lol:

You guys are correct in stating that I am overweight. However, my best friend is 5'7 and built like a brick shit house. He's also considered overweight. I'm not built like him though. That dude could sneeze and gain muscle. I was about 12 pounds heavier before COVID at 221. I thought I was fat then. I'm perfectly happy with where I am at with 209. I'll be even happier when I am at 200. I don't sit behind a computer all day. My job keeps me active and I eat healthy. So yeah I am overweight but I can still bust out a mile run. I've passed officers smaller than me when chasing someone when I was 230. Yep I am overweight but I could outrun and outlast the majority of you on this forum.

except Bazi because he runs marathons and fuck that noise.
