I'm not sure what they use, but under the definition I am morbidly obese. I believe that is 50 pounds overweight. For my height I am at least that but when I was in college I used to be an amateur competition body builder. There is no way I will ever weigh what I am supposed to. That said, I am fat now and need to lose the weight. It was a rough year and I don't drink or smoke. My vice is good food. Lucky for me though, my blood numbers are better than 95% of my friends with my Cholesterol at 166 while my thin friends are mostly over 250.

Bottom line, I have purchased a home gym and lost almost 15 pounds since the second interview. I have a lot left to do but it is a fixable issue, especially since it seems I am ok on the inside. I just needed the proper motivation to get my butt back into shape. I got married a couple of years ago to someone that can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight. I kind of kept up with her but I gain pretty easily. I would get losing the weight now as to my knowledge, I passed everything in HKG during the medical from what I was told but I am high risk due to the weight.

Hope that helps you. When I hear something I'll let the group know.
