My work held a health fair at their headquarters in dallas yesterday and i went in to get some simple tests done like Body fat%, flexability, Strength, blood pressure, ect..... it was all for free and they had a lot of free food like fresh fruit, veggies, and juice. So i was waiting to go get my body fat percentage measured when a chick before me who was obviously over weight went up, i heard the guy say she had a 44% body fat percentage. I was thinking is that even possible and the dude gave her the whole you need to change your diet speech for the safety of your life. i came in at 8.8% body fat i weigh between 145-150 and i'm 5'8" at my gym i'm one of the featherweight fighters and i'll even cut down to 135 for some competition. I want to thank you sherdogers for giving me great health tips and suggestions. also any of ya'll got any horror stories bout other people and their crappy health?

Women will naturally hold more fat.

generally, i could care less about other people's health. 60% of the american population is overweight/obese. sucks to be them.

Horror stories? i have tons. just the other day i saw someone drinking italian dressing from the bottle. i didn't even think twice. people are stupid.

end rant.

I'm not sure if anyone here watches Biggest Loser, but I would be curious to see the composition numbers for some of those people. They were some of the largest "mobile" people I have ever seen.

I've seen someone eat Crisco with chocolate syrup. No exaggeration...unfortunately.

The mother of this load of a child just said, "Well, he has always liked it." Well, how the hell did he even start eating it?

what the hell. I have got a coupple of family members who are over weight and i try to get them to change their life styles but they are real stubborn. One of them is my little cousin who is 10 and is fat, he loves to wrestle so i keep telling my uncle to take him to lions den where i train at and put him in BJJ, Sub Wrestling, and MT for kids that he will love it but my uncle is always giving me some BS excuse why he cant take him and shit.

Fat people like having fat kids because it somehow justifies their lifestyle. I do find it amazing that some people refuse to limit their children's food consumption by saying, "Well, whatever makes him happy." but then refuse them opportunities like you mentioned above.

Funny, because some say that they can't afford to send their kids to such opportunities, but those same people spend $30 on pop a week.

i know when i have kids its gonna be soccer, MT, BJJ, Wrestling, cross country, and once they turn 16 membership to Bally's for weight training. Yeah i keep reading stories about kids as young as 12 with high blood pressure, and horrible cholesterol.

strangest one ive ever seen was a whale of a man going to town on a box of oreos. not so strange i know. well this was in the locker room of the gym. i thought about it, and i came to the conclusion he was going because of pressure from his wife/family. instead of excercising he sits in the locker room and watches tv and eats a box of oreos. i straight luaghed in this guys face. some people have no shame.
