Thankyou. I know that you were trying to be funny, and you probably were. But this is kinda serious..
Well back to the subject.
Having mostly overweight relatives doesn't help you much either..

You want to lose weight, eat less calories than you burn off. Thats the secret.
If for some reason you can't lose weight and still want to date hot chicks...make alot of money.
Men date the hottest woman they can afford, women date the richest men there looks will attract.

Getting that mad makes it seem you are not totally happy about your situation.
You know what has to be done & you know what to do.
You can work on it because nothing is impossible.
Well orless you make a pencil from San Francisco to Germany  .
Point is, dont get all mad at him, laugh it off then stay on topic also.

I just wanted this to stay on topic, instead of it drifting apart.
I think that people have misunderstood this thread, it isn't a "here's what to do to lose weight"-thread, its a thread where you talk about overweight people, or yourself.

Being overweight is NOT a disability. A disability is something that you CANNOT change and the people who are overweight because of some medical glandular problem is so small it is insignificant. You can change your plumpiness it is just hard. It took a long time to get fat so it will take a long time to slim down, you just have to go slow and steady and if you pork out once and a while, don't give up the program, just start again.
If you are fat, you better be a funny, happy fat guy who is the life of the party, that way people will want you around and fat/ugly chicks need lovin too. If you are the sullen, or angry fat guy your friends will abandon you and you won't get any tail. (fat chicks give better oral, because they have too!)

Perhaps Clarification Is Needed
I wouldn't classify being overweight as a disability in that people with disabilities require things like special parking, transportation vehicles, excrement utilities, rails, walkways, crutches, different learning paces, etc.
I would more closely classify being overweight with very simple setbacks. A setback is something you can overcome if you put your mind to it. Everyone encounters setbacks in life. A setback is also something that will not prohibit but inhibit certain physical capabilites. The mental aspect of being overweight can be overcome with confidence boosting techniques. I know many and use them myself at times. A person that believes they "can do" something is more likely to succeed than a person who feels the opposite.
A very important thing to remember is that bystanders(onlookers who want to make a public opinion) can either help or hinder an overweight person's progress. If you want to be a jerk and make large generalizations then that is your own choice. However if you help then one might think you to be a little more kind-hearted as opposed to the opposite.

Consis(one of those ironic nicknames?)
Coddling people has never helpped anyone. Do you think you are helpping them when you just lie right to their face, tell them everything is going to be alright, it's society's fault, they have a great personality, try to focus on the positive, whatever...you are just being cruel and do not even believe your own lies. The only thing that will help is some truth, and they have to be generalized truths, you can't talk specifics to annonymous people over the internet because you will never see the whole picture.
Truth: Fat guy will not get hot chick unless he has some sort of money/power or is very entertaining to be with.
Truth: Fat guy can lose weight when he wants to. A coddle, is not motivating it actually slows down the process, you convince him he's fine fine as is so he doesn't change. Jerk pisses him off and then he might get motivated to show that bastard.
Truth: I might be a jerk, but this jerk most assurably helps more people on a daily basis than anyone else in this community.

Don't waste your breat OT...Consis is the posterchild for W.A.S.P guilt.
Fat people are completely unappealing to look at. Fat is disgusting. What are even more disgusting than fat people are fat people excuses.
You started this thread with one such excuse RealDeal. Some jibber-jabber about you having 1/3 the quadriceps of a normal person?
I don't believe it for a minute.
I deal with fat people on a daily basis. And no, it's not just navy personnel. We have a physical training platoon where I work for our fatbodies. And now, each shop/workcenter has to submit an NCO for this ptp squad to act as motivators for these disgusting things. Guess who drew the short straw?
I watch them. I praise them. I give them their 'atta boys' when I see them struggling to put forth effort. But truthfully, most of them even work out in a lazy fashion. They've been content being disgusting for so long that they've learned horrendous habits. They won't squat far enough. They half-ass their running. And don't even get me started on the way they do push-ups.
These fatbodies(no they don't deserve to be named) are aware of the consequences of their inaction. It's spelled out in black and white; administrative separation. But most of them are so full of piss and vinegar because they're being held accountable for their bodies that they've given up. They've decided to cut off their frickin noses to spite their faces.
You may think I'm harsh. That's fine. I'm not here to coddle fat peoples' feelings. In my line of work, physically fit means combat ready. Fat means not combat ready. And that means that in a combat situation I cannot trust them to have the endurance to make command decisions when they're fatigued. Already my shop has lost two bodies to early discharge because they couldn't maintain weight/physical fitness standards.
We've lost half a dozen to drugs but that's a different rant I'll save for another day.
As for you RealDeal. When you finally look into the mirror and decide that you control your body and health, you'll start making progress. In the meantime, quit whining about genes(you mentioned your fat parents), and musculature(wimpy quads)
P.S. Do I really need to qualify what I consider to be fat and nasty?
P.P.S. Someone gave me a complex. I gotta check them 'because'es.

Gootch, you are positivily the most disgusting narrowminded dumbass of the world. I merely mentioned the genes, i didn't blame them. It's trute that i have 33 % muscle in my legs, so if you believe me is really not the matter.
I have changed my mind about something. People like Gootch.. They are narrowminded morons. They only see the fatness of people. Yeah, they are over weight, well, i'd rather be double my size, or think like you do. Your an insult to the word "human". There are racists, there are psycho's, there are terrorsists. They have the sole purpose of killing joy, humans, and much more. That my friend, is you when your being nice. What you just said made my spine cripple, just thinking that people can think about another human, just because of being overweight. Yes some fat people are lazy, dumb, disgusting, but have you even considered not all are like that? Just because a negro stole your wallot, doesn't make all black people thieves. Now does it? What you just said almost made me feel bad about myself, until i realized that you, my fine sir, are even worse. Maybe i'm not handsome. But at the least i know how to treat people. What is God is fat? And when he looks upon you he only see insults. Would that be fine? What if you become married, and your wife becomes fat. Would you divorce here? You are filth.
I hope that you have something very smart to say, because what you just said, made you look like a terrible human being. I go to the gym 2 times a week(what i can afford) So that i can TRY to build my muscles up. The docters say that it's hopless, but i keep on trying. But people like you, make us lose hope. Making us think that we are worthless. But your not getting me. No matter how hard you try, your worhtless words will not harm me.

TheRealDeal: I don't think that Gootch is trying to discourage you in any way. As you said, if a Negro steals your wallet, you should not treat all Negroes as theives. You should, however, be watchful of your wallet when around Negroes, just in case.
The_Gootch: I understand what you are saying. Fat people are not fit to be in the military. If there was a draft, I think a lot of people would become overweight. Anyway, just because fat people aren't good in the military, that doesn't mean that they aren't nice or smart. My best friend is slightly overweight.

Hey Peal Deal, you said people to give their opinion without constrainsts, didnt you?
So, dont offend Gootch for his honesty please.
I've never had problems with fatness. I've been told I have a model-like body (and a great ass, btw ) but i find it funny, since I dont work out almost at all. I guess my bones make up for what my muscles fail to do.
On the fat people issue, I have friends that are fat. For me, it's completely irrelevant if you're fat, unless you're girl and you wanna f*ck me. If you are, however, you have to have a really great sense of humour, nice curves (as nice as they can be at least  ) and a great personality. Plus, good oral sex abilities (i second OT's joke  ).
But, it's not possible for a lot of fat people to turn slim over night. Its just in the genes for a lot of them. And I even think that its dangerous for them to die trying so. It's a complex about looks, and thats not good. However, its convenient for their love life.
And one more thing: Those people that tease fatboys for their looks are worthless piece of sh!t.

I agree. The only problem with fat people that I have is that if the person is a girl, she is unattractive for me. Of course, being fat gives the person an increased chance of heart attack and stroke, so there's some motivation for slackers.

Pure Motivation
Gootch, as a result of your post, I am going back down to the local Marine Corps recruiter and volunteering another four years of my life!
In all seriousness, I truly wish the Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) in my company took your stance on dealing with overweight Marines, themselves included. Half of the Marines on our Body Composition Program (for overwiehgt Marines) were NCOs, which in my opinion, is an absolute disgrace. Then again, most of those NCOs were the same ones under the belief that 'troop welfare' was more important than 'mission accomplishment', but as always, that's yet another story...
Keeping on the serious side for just another moment, you guys need to relax a bit, especially with good old Consis. The guy has only the best intentions and is just trying to be a buddy, that's all. Granted Consis is in a difficult period in his life right now, as he is trying to support the floundering Democratic National Convention and figure out whether he is a conservative Democrat, moderate Independent, a liberal Republican, or just a plain old confused 'swing voter'. Give the guy a break. Besides, he was in the Air Force for goodness sake! (Luv ya, Consis, mean it!)
So let's get this thread back on topic, and in the infamous words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" 
p.s. - Mvass, I enjoyed your wallet analogy. LOL!

That's my point. Overweight people aren't as fit as non-overweight people, but does that make them bad people? NO.
