The number of overweight/obese people

Well you did all that Ann Summers s***, so wouldnt put it past you

You are healthy! Don't you dare try and lose weight to end up looking like some of those 'anorexic' looking girls (in my opinion)...
besides, the majority of men prefer some shape to their women!

Your weight is healty for your height.

I think as long as you're healthy you'll be a reasonable size, be it a few lbs over or under what your 'ideal weight' is. Please note I say a few.

Being overweight or underweight isn't healthy regardless of why you are, people come in all shapes and sizes I accept that, but we should all ideally be within a certain weight range for our height because our bodys aren't designed to take excess and too little stops the body from functioning.

Ultimately even with medical conditions people try to be their ideal weight right? So it's definitely something we should all be aiming for to get to and maintain our ideal weight.

Yes, I agree.

a lot of weight issues can be put down to society and how it has changed over the years, as kids we were always active, todays kids are not so, we used to eat differently like healthy family meals all together, now families most of which have both parents working eat around work commitments,and tend to eat lots more processed and so called convenience foods.

even in the work place, the vast majority of people used to work in manufacturing inductries (uk), this was physical work in the main, now even those type of jobs have changed.

but there are no excuses for some people, some people are lazy,lack motivation, and bring on health and weight problems by negecting their bodies,we are all responsible for what we consume,

heh, thanks.
