[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 3865860, member: 45550"] Boy, we’ve drifted all over the place with this thread. One would expect hurt feelings and folks getting defensive when discussing weight and physical fitness but geesh. I have about 20 pounds left to lose to hit “MY” idea of where I want to be which is 175lbs, I think I was 258lbs when I started. Believe OPs question was “Is Being “In Shape” Important?” Anyone with half a brain would answer that question with a YES. I know this is a generalized question which usually prompts some who like to argue to try and point the rare exceptions to the statement for which they’ll certainly be some but come on! For those of us portly fellows to sit there and argue that we wouldn’t be happier and more prepared to defend ourselves if we’d lose 50-100lbs you’re not being honest. Again there will be goofballs that will want to argue but if you’re carrying the equivalent of an extra person around your belly and you we’re to wake up the tomorrow morning having all that gone I can’t believe you wouldn’t think “this is great”. If you want to be fat then own it and say “I know it would be better to lose a bunch of weight but I don’t care and I’d rather not put in the effort to get there.” And that’s okay. “Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die”. But don’t sit there and make ridiculous claims that your joints will last longer, or you’ll be bullet resistant or that you can’t out run a 185 grain bullet. C’mon man, quit being silly. [/QUOTE]
