When you’re that heavy, you’re deeper in whatever you happen to be standing on at the time.

If you’re taking this seriously, maybe have the winning poster have to send a pic of them on the scale or something?

I’m already out, BTW. And I feel like **Colibri** does about it.

Another day older and deeper in debt.

I was once up to 281, but I have been hovering around 200 for the last three years (199.4 this morning). I was once near 6’1", but now barely 6’.

Just lost over an inch on the waistline in the last couple months. I’m down to around 180 from 197. 5’8"", 130/85 BP, single, heterosexual (not that there’s anything wrong with that :)), condo owner in SoCal, but currently unemployed, always open to relationships, friends with benefits, open to all races and backgrounds, single moms are a-ok.

Was that a Garfield line?? I had no idea. I’m usually the guy who calls people out for not crediting quotes. That’s what I get. :o

Garfield’s talking scale gives him an impressive variety of sass, including that one. The other one I remember offhand is ‘get off the elephant first’.

Me, I’m positively svelt compared to some o’y’all. ~335, last I weighed in. (About a month ago, when I went into hospital.)

I figure all the ladies are small and petite in weight

Men, smoking c-gars, quite chubby to fat…

Me? I’m short AND fat! But i’m working at the weight side, not so much on the height part…that part is sooooo hard, all the regular habits that short people try to overcome the malady, but losing those darn habits is harder than hell! 😛

Fret not, that joke must be 200 years old. I understand Button Gwinnett used it on Ben Franklin once.
