For a guy that's gonna be 47 in 2 months, I ain't looking too bad and feel even better! If I was below 145, I would look like a terminally ill person. I also think the BMI is a crock of $hit. According to that, I'm almost overweight. I wear a 38-40 regular coat and a 32 inch waist. How is that overweight? Who comes up with these numbers?

thumbup Doc. They want us to all look like Kenyan marathon runners. Speaking of Kenyans, eek, wonder if there's anything hidden in Obama care about weight, BMI and the like?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
