Height and Weight?

Well ofc there are people of different size overall in the world. But, I feel that here in Norway you find those "super"-fat people that we see on tv, infact I think that the eating and training habits are very important to the community.

And we dont have oversized menues. I think that over in America, the habit of eating many smaller meals a day is not so common.

Over there, when you think of "Americans", do you think "overweight"? Or are we thought of the same as anybody else (regarding weight!).

Tough question, but what I think is that we dont think there are so many more overqeight people. Just that the people that are "overweight" in the U.S are alot bigger then what we might expect as considerably overweight over here. But thats just my perception, I personally dont think about weight of other people to much.

gosh thanks for that edit, i was getting worried there :)
 
Nice to read this thread! I'm just a tad under 5'7" and just a tad under 130 lbs. - which is not nearly as skinny as a number of folks who've posted. I have recently had a number of people tell me I was getting too skinny. I knew better than to listen to the chunky haters who want to project their own lack of self-discipline on my recently-acquired tautness, but it's reassuring to see some numbers that make ME sound pretty big in comparison! :)
