    Well my .02 on the subject is, I think that BMI is a joke, seeing as how I am 6'1" tall and 270lbs, however I can pick up a small block chevy, and got heavy lifting weights and working hard.

    There have been times in my life when I have gained fat, and have lost it, when I did though I understood that it was because of my own eating and excercise habbits, and I have never once whined to anyone about how bad the world is cause I ate too much and didnt get enough excercise.

    His roommate wasn't denied a job. She was asked to take a sleep study in which she didn't. It was her choice.

    i am a 31 according to a BMI calculator we found, but on their lil paper it says 33. so maybe split the difference and call it a 32.

    From Heidi... others were posted by Mike. We share this ID

    I just think that I shouldn't have to loose weight, when in fact I am a happy and healthy chubby woman. The whole reason I posted this in the first place is so that others who might be in the same boat as me, would know what is in store with Prime. They didn't even tell me about this, I found out on this forum site. They would not have told me until much later if at all. Who knows, what would have happened had i gotten to oreintation and then been sent home cause I didn't have the money.

    As for employment, I spent the last 2 years as a waitress in a fast paced diner. I spent much of the time walking and or jogging from table to table as part of my job. I would not call that a job for someone who is unhealthy.

    A. When measuring BMI Prime requires that shoes be off for both the height measurement and the weight measurement, so the bit about your boots putting you over would be BS.

    B. How the heck did a 5 page thread on Prime just pop up while I napped? Jeez people, someone shoulda called me or something.

    No it's not.

    People are born a specific color or nationality. They cannot change it.

    You can change being fat.

    Two totally different concepts.

    .... and if you continue that thought process, no one got you where you are other than you.

    Stop blaming Prime. after all there's enough other things we can pick on them for.
