lilsub, I think it is general consensus here that we are talking about overweight women in this lifestyle.
Dominant and submissive women both. To me, we are not talking about a few pounds or even 10 or 20 pounds.
We are talking about the morbid obese.
Correct. Let me state again as a personal trainer involved for 18+ years professionally, that the old height-weight charts and now even more recently the BMI index is quickly going out of date.
As we get heavier, we also ge more muscular. The height-weight charts and BMI indexes do not account for someone who is at the top of the bell curve in musculature. Muscle is more dense than fat. On my profile, my picture shows me in competition at 186lbs for 6'2". But the Army would have told me at that point to lose weight. I surpassed 185lbs in the summer of my 10th-11th grade year in high school.
We are talking about morbidly obese people who have no scale to measure them except the visual. In looking at them the eyes relate to the brain that there is a serious problem somewhere regardless of numbers. We are arguing about posting pictures and not posting pictures, about physical chemistry and the lack of. I argue about basic mobility. The large majority of my immediate family has had very serious mobility problems from their obesity. I saw this at age 14 and started lifting weights and then became a personal trainer. I am now 37 and still earning money teaching others proper habits. My brother is on disability at 450lbs, my mother is in the hospital at 308lbs, my grandmother weighs 227, my aunts and uncles are way over their limits, and I had an uncle die at nearly 550lbs.
I think we can set the general limit at 240lbs. Unless you are a 6'5" male or a dedicated bodybuilder, somewhere near this limit is going to cause you mobility problems such as the very least arthritis, at the worst, a crippling stroke, heart attack, or diabetes....
Wonderful post obey1 thank you, you should be proud of your accomplishments especially with your family history.
I guess they were not willing to listen to your advice.
