    Fact. Most Americans, male and female, are overweight.

    Solution A: eat healthier and exercise more.
    Solution B. Ignore science and logic to adjust the curve so being over weight no longer means being over weight.

    Even when I slimmed down to 148 lbs and could fit 30x30 jeans I was still actually on the threshold of healthy and overweight according to BMI.

    The BMI is flawed. But that's a different discussion.

    Totally agree. I've packed on 25 lbs of muscle since then and decreased my BF %. BMI classes me as overweight now, despite having a lower BF %.

    What was the Drs reasoning for requiring the Sleep test?
    He just "wanted" it ?

    That's not a reason.
    You obviously don't have an 18-19" neck.
    Did you tell him you snore, or are frequently tired?

    It's not in the regs for a required test ESPECIALLY with no warning signs.
    Your COMPANY can require one.

    Should have told him to pound sand.

    That is so typical of a driver to post something like that.

    It was from a movie that my daughter and I saw 15 years ago. Can't remember the name.
    2 elks and one says "does this make me look fat"?
    And the other says, "no, its your fat that makes you look fat."
    We used to howl.
    No truckers were abused in the process.

    No you’ve done it !
    Giving them the idea not to grade anymore and everyone gets in to Yale and Harvard just like everyone gets a trophy lol.
    It’s funny but seriously where we are today this could happen.
