    So.......you think Prime is a BAD trucking company just because they have a BMI policy? :biggrin_25526:

    I hate you Redd. Seriously and deeply hate you.


    Did I mention I started my diet again today?


    :biggrin_25513:




    Anyway......back on topic. Weight is something we CAN change. Oh I know.....we fatties like to say we can't but the truth is.....we can. It's bad for us, unhealthy and frankly we need to be healthy. Now I'm curious about the 190 at 5'7" that's really not usually a poor place to be.

    The govt regs are coming and unless they're challenged and defeated in court they're going to stand. Face it: Big brother govt will be regulating our weight, our smoking, our caffeine, our types of food, our cars, our churches, our.......everything and we've got no one to blame for this except our willingness to be apathetic at the voting polls.

    I'm sorry your friend got turned down I hope she can either lose the weight or find a company that will hire her.

    I'm going to be bluntly honest. I'm 5'7" and my current weight is 250. She's way overweight because I know I am.

    That is false information. At 6'2" you would be fine until you hit 295lb. And I hate to burst the OP's bubble but a 5'7" female at 190lb is fat. Eat more salad and get more exercise.

    B.S.

    Herschel Walker, a fantastic athlete, had only 6% or less body fat in his heyday.

    Now, either you're lying about the 2%, or, if you do indeed have that level of body fat, you're lying about "the skin of your teeth".

    I'm 5'6", 260, struggling to lose weight as I approach 50 years of age. I was also told that my BMI was too high when I approached them three years ago. And frankly, I don't want to be lumping freight at my age with this BMI.

    So, be mad, pout, kick the wall if you want to.

    But please don't try to BS us.
