Well, the average waist size for men is now 40 inches. And the average size for a woman is a size 12.

Alright! Something I'm below average in that I can be proud of. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Obesity (to me at least) is BOTH genetic and behaviorly induced. I believe people are genetically pre-disposed to be obese, but they can alter their behaviors to overcome it. My mother is overweight, and I have the joy of inheriting those genes. So, I watch what I eat, exercise when I can, and I try to stay active. My brother is 6'4" and under 200 lbs, so he got my dad's beanpole genes. The boy can eat a horse and LOSE weight. What I really hate is all these diet ads saying "Overwieght? It's not your fault! It's the hormones!"
