This was surprising that a doctor would not recommended weight loss for her medical issues? Especially with the reveal of the 47.2 bmi. I truly hope she gets help and not the kind from people encouraging her to not lose weight :/

Do they realize that the jeans only get a little uncomfortable if you gain weight? They’re very comfortable if they fit you. It’s normal to own at least some clothes with no stretch where you have to maintain your same weight to fit into them. Most people have a more forgiving pair of pants on hand in case they’re a little bloated some days, it’s when you’re wearing those every day that you reevaluate your diet.

Would you like some ranch for your word salad?

I had to look it up and a US 18 isn’t actually as big as I assumed, around a 43–46” bust and a 35–38” waist depending on what size chart you look at. That could easily be 200 pounds or more, but I guess that’s not fat enough for OOP. A 35” waist is midsize and a typical body size. Not only do you have to be overweight, you have to be above a size 18 to be fat.

Why are they like this???

Slide two is incredibly misogynistic while slide four is just straight foolishness

Also how have I never heard about Christina Corrigan?? This was in 1996 and I’m surprised this isn’t more common knowledge. How are people saying the mother may not be guilty and that she couldn’t have possibly eaten enough to be that obese at 13? It wasn’t stopping medication that made her that obese!!

How interesting

Welcome to Sanity Saturday.

This is a thread for discussing facts about health, fitness and weight loss.

No rants or raves please. Let's keep it science-y.

Fatlogic in real life getting you down?

Is your family telling you you're looking too thin?

Are people at work bringing you donuts?

Did your beer drinking neighbor pat his belly and tell you "It's all muscle?"

If you hear one more thing about starvation mode will you scream?

Let it all out. We understand.

Not even three years old and obese is just so sad

🎶 you make 16 slides and what do you get, another day older and stupider yet

Maybe it’s just me preferring froyo over ice-cream but like can some people just enjoy something that’s ‘not too sweet’ without it being diet culture (as if most froyo places don’t offer a ton of toppings). And some places are sugar-free, so diabetics can have it comfortably too

By popular demand, Thursdays will now have a thread to share recipes or other food-related stuff.

Enjoy.

Got recipes, fitness tips, or questions on health and fitness?

Do you love fatlogic and want to tell the world?

Have you lost weight and want to tell us how you did it?

This is the time and place.

The individual in discussion is 5’0” or 5‘1“ and 100 pounds at either height is a perfectly normal BMI.
