Americans are getting bigger...in the middle <waist>

[BudAshes]

This is news?

I blame the meat tornado.

 

[BudAshes]

I think whoever decided that donuts were a breakfast food is to blame. It was the beginning of the end.

Are you ill or just don't care?

i care but it has always seemed like an impossible task

just started with myfitnesspal though, limiting myself to 1900 calories a day. have lost 2 lbs, will see how that works out.

Good luck man. I've always been skinny but I have other demons I have to battle. We all have our own fights.

34 here, but I'm 6'4". But everywhere I look...

Nobody blames the Meat Tornado.

Fuck man, I thought with all the dieting crazy-ness, pill popping madness, and surgical procedure bullshits - we were actual going down in average size...

So we're still going up in average belly sizes?

thanks man, i am working on rebecoming the monster

 

[HamburgerBoy]

27".

EDIT: 5'7" and 125lbs, btw. If any ATOT billionaires want a petite qt boytoy, don't hesitate to holla.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

37 years old. 6' 2", about 245lbs. Size 38 and I hate it. Would love to get back down to ~215 lbs and a size 36 or even a 34. 34 is going to be a real stretch. Even when I was playing baseball in college and was in awesome shape I had to wear a 36 because my thighs were huge.

Good luck man. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with that (in fact I'd like to gain some weight). IMO a little less than 1900 cal/day is even better but it's up to you. Just as long as you get what you need during a day, e.g. vitamins, minerals, etc.

Americans, esp women, are getting bigger in the butt too. They need to have stats on that too

Do you enjoy making statements without facts to back them up? You seem to.

That is why I was saying we need stats. I can only speak from my own observations otherwise

+1

You should see the cops in my town. They don't walk or run, they waddle.

 

[Slew Foot]

Maxed out a 34 and currently around 30 or 31. Americans are in general, fat assholes

 

[BoomerD]

I am Jabba the Hut's bigger cousin...:whiste: but I've lost about 35 pounds with myfitnesspal app...still...my waist is larger than my inseam.

 

[IGemini]

A couple years ago I was at a 36" waist. Am back down to 32". 29yo, 6' went from 225->185lbs and could probably drop another 10...that would actually outdo my high school weight.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'm like a 34 and I find I could probably loose some weight. I can't imagine being 40+. That would be uncomfortable. Everything would just feel so tight.

 

[Fenixgoon]

whenever i get measured for pants, i come up a 32 waist, but i'm far more comfortable in a 34. not sure how that works out though.

 

[K1052]

I'm a 29 waist but I'm short and have thick legs so basically nothing off the rack fits. I have to buy jeans and have them altered since the few of them that fit my waist and inseam are all skinny ones that I can't get my legs into.

 

[purbeast0]

grass is green. water is wet. boiling water is hot. ice is cold.

i am measured at a 34 waste, but i get 36 pants because i don't like how snug my thighs are in pants that are 34. my boys have to breathe.

i also weigh like 207 now.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I only have a 30" waist because I'm a skinny rail at only 135.

Donuts go well with my morning coffee

 

[edro]

36" for regular fit, 38" for more room to tuck in undershirt and dress shirt.
I am 190lbs, but have always had a large waist size.

I don't have a standard beer belly like most men.
I know men who are 260-280lbs with giant guts who wear 34-36" waist. The belt line is under the gut.

 

[It's Not Lupus]

Being fat is the standard now, where it's OK to make fun of skinny/normal people and being fat and lazy is a disease. Big is ugly and disgusting.
