OK I will bite here. I am almost 40 only 5'10" tall and run anywhere from 250 to 270. Am I over weight? I have been tested by my Doc to find the following. Blood pressure is ok, blood ok, liver ok, cholesterol ok, she said I am health as a horse but I should not be this heavy. I am at the gym every morning for 1 hr doing the elliptical and crunches. Almost 5 nights a week we swim at the gym for about 2 hrs. Do I have a 6 pack, no. I can bench twice my weight and have placed 1st in a few armatures weight lifting comps. I do not care what people think about me. I think I am fit. I can work for 10 hrs on the farm and keep up with my nephew that is 24 and works on a bridge crew for the railroad. Fit can be more than a 6 pack. Just my 2 cents.
