Fit vs Fat Family

OK Karen.

2 slices, salad and dessert? That's actually a big meal.

My 108 pound wife would call that a cheat meal.

Like you we have neighbors (the husband is a PE teacher) who outweigh us by about 250-300 pounds and the parents also smoke.

About 35 pounds difference. 155 - 120

One large pizza plus salad and dessert for everyone does sound like a fair amount of food for a family of four--depending of course on how old the children are. My husband and I (about 182 pounds together) only eat about half of a medium pizza, plus a side vegetable and a small dessert. When we eat pizza, which isn't often.

Your children are either very small or they hate you to their very core.

2 pieces of pizza! What the h ell man???????????????

Get off the wallet and let your kids have some pizza.

congratulations?

Heck, they are about all fat! Why do you think covid is getting such traction? America on the whole is obese and out of shape, and worse down South way and the Res, out West. But I digress...

The wife and I limit ourselves to 2 slices, but we could eat the whole thing! :0 We are only about 225 and change together and we both run.

I wish LetsRun posts could be edited. Make that 282 pounds (168 for him and 114 for me).

I eat close to a whole pizza myself and I’m only 115 lbs.

Yah - I run like 50mpw and could polish off four slices for lunch and still be losing weight if I’m not careful

2 slices a piece is child abuse. Let your kid enjoy themselves

They do hate me. I'm the guy who makes them get water at the restaurant when everyone else gets soda.

If they dont eat the crusts, they don't get any more slices. That's the law in our household.

You know, you have had me wondering all night how in the world someone could come off so rational/normal on this forum yet be anorexically thin at 75-80 lbs. (and how in the world any man could maintain a 100-105 lbs. weight). I feel much better now, but I am a little full after four slices of (homemade with a lot of veggies) pizza.

The type of pizza plays a big role in determining how many slices I can eat. If it's thin crust NY style pizza, I can easily eat a whole pizza, but if it's a thick crust Chicago pizza, I feel stuffed after one slice.

Being able to eat 3, 4, 5 slices or a whole pie is one thing. But would you normally do that? Would any parent do that?

I'm 6-5, my son is 6-6, we're both solidly built. My wife and three daughters are all over 6 feet tall with long legs and broad shoulders. All of us are lean and all were or are college athletes, my son a D1 All-American. But I'm sure we outweigh some of our friends' families by 300 lbs, so that makes not fit.

And we can sure put away some pizza.

Who cares if each kid eats a whole pizza. It isn't like a healthy family is eating pizza enough for it to make any difference in their weight...

What are your 5k prs?
